Price Controls (Just like Venezuela tried)

Then supply chain and economic activity crater and bingo you have Venezuela on the Potomac.

Bernie Sanders wrote Joe Biden’s “unity” platform. He’s praised Venezuela previously and even received Maduro’s endorsement, so it shouldn’t be any surprise that the Democratic Party would want to emulate that style of governance.

Why are price controls associated with Venezuela and not Nixon?

Didn’t work for him either.

True… so why not talk about that?

Because Nixon is dead and not around asking for price controls?

Who do we as a nation in 2022 have more in common with?

Nixon or Venezuela?

Venezuela, complete with a similar electorate, we have much more in common with South America than Europe.

What the what now?

You didn’t really thing that was going to swing your way, did you.

Somebody should remind her of how that worked out during the Nixon administration.

Seriously.

It’s like watching a train wreck in slow motion. I can’t believe people voted for these morons.

Is that why liberals are pushing this garbage that overturning Roe is going to kill women? Is that why they constantly preach how evil Republicans will throw you off of Social Security? The racist accusations. The tax the rich mantra? … I find it hilarious that a leftist thinks Republicans are the ones engaged in fear mongering. In case you missed it, we have a SERIOUS set of issues that have come upon us in the past 15 months. HUGE inflation (Yes, Trump was part of that for the stimulus and not fighting shut downs), illegals swarming the border, supply chain issues, $30 TRILLION in debt, a nuclear power at war with someone we promised to protect under Obama…morons in DC that continue to double down on bad policy…

Not going to worry about the Nixon vs Venezuela deflection. It doesn’t matter because PRICE CONTROLS are wrong in every case, whether tried by Socialist/Communist nations or whether a misguided attempt by the leader in a Capitalist nation.

And for the record, I oppose all price controls, including the minimum wage, though pragmatically it is not going away. I also oppose anti-price gouging laws, rent control and anything else remotely connect to price controls.

Congratulations on noting the immediate and successful deflection from price controls to whether they were like Venezuelan price controls or Nixon price controls.
Either way, they are a disaster. All this will do is undercut investment in oil production. Whose going to invest in oil extraction, transportation or refining when they can’t even recover the cost of their investment? Result…shortages and even higher costs down the road.
But it fits wonderfully into the idea that if we destroy fossil fuel production then magically wonderful new cheap alternative reusable sources of energy will appear.

Why do you guys always default to Venezuela?

It is amazing that this has become such a boogey-word for some people.

You could have talked about what happened when Nixon tried that for a better historical parallel.

But nope…fear-mongering is the default way to go.

No we aren’t Venezuela no matter how hard the fear mongerers try to make it so.

Not rocket science, our electorate looks far more like south America than Eu demographically. Might have something to do with tens of millions of South American immigrants

Oh really… show me the numbers.

Educate yourself, not my problem.

Ah, the good ol’ burden of proof fallacy. When you make an assertion the burden of proof is on you to show you’re right, not the other guy to prove you wrong.
