Nixon’s price and wage freezes, along with devaluation of the dollar led to stagflation in the 70s. what Pelosi wants will collapse domestic supply, just like what happened in Venezuela.

The only major outlier seems to be the failure of the government to disarm the public.

That was nominal there. Chavez resupplied his side.

Or… it might be more along the lines of 1970’s US… not Venezuela.
All I am saying is compare like to like.

Where am I doing that?
What I am pushing back on is the idea that the US economically has anything in common with Venezuela

Cons and their monsters under the bed.
When a party has nothing to run on, they need fear…fear of the other, fear of scary words like Marxism.
It works.
Ask Mr. Orban.

Then actually compare like to like. Freezing wages and prices (what Nixon did) are not the same as dictating below cost pricing (what happened in Venezuela and what Peolsi is proposing). I’m starting to think you didn’t do well at “one of these things is not like the other.”

Agreed…most cons perpetually thrive on low, low info.
It works.

In what world is freezing prices not dictating a below market price?
Once again… I don’t think that it is a good idea and that it is the wrong move… but it isn’t going to lead us to being like Venezuela.
