That is common sense. Price controls are a radical left concept.

meet Richard nixon, that well known leftist.
Allan
Yes, and he learned what a mistake that was.
aka its not a partisan position to take.
âMore recent instances of price controls frequently occur during times of war and revolution. During the American Revolution, colonial governments controlled the prices of commodities required by George Washingtonâs army, which resulted in severe shortages for civilian populations. Before that, individual colonies would set price controls for a variety of goods, including Massachusettes and Virginia.â
george washington, known leftist.
price controls not a partisan issue.
Allan
Yep, and it failed every time. Leftist ideas usually do.
already proved that it is not a leftist idea. but carry on with your fantasy.
Allan
You proved nothing.
george washington
richard nixon known leftists.

I never said they were leftists. I said their price controls were a leftist idea. You proved nothing.

Itâs a leftist initiative, not a party-driven (partisan) initiative.
Itâs never a conservative initiative.
A conservative leader might do or say leftist things. That doesnât make the leftist things conservative. It just weakens the conservative credentials of the leader.

and i showed you where nixon and washington both implemented them. hardly a leftist idea.
Allan
It is just a bad idea, embraced by the left as part of centrally planned economics. When conservatives have used it, they get reminded that it is a bad idea, with bad economic outcomes. Both of your examples just proved that it is bad policy, no matter who decided that it was a good â â â â â â â idea at first.

Actually I am that George Washington is the man who petitioned Congres to lift price controls after thay led to severe shortages at Valley Forge (and they did so a few days after receiving his letter.)
However if you wish us to model our modern economy after George Washingtonâs ideas, then we should start by ending all transfer programs plus funding the government exclusively on debt and tariffs.
Yep. Which has nothing to do with it bring a leftist idea.
