That is certainly the next step that the left has in mind in spite of
all the rosy "you can keep your plan" rhetoric..

ROFLMAO!! the last guy to try that was richard nixon...hardly a
liberal



You're too fast... I was about to type the same thing...


I am also old enough to remember what happened when Nixon tried price
controls. We were in mile long gas lines. You "price control" doctors
out of business and they might just become veterinarians where the
real money is


i was working at my dad's gas station. the day before the controls
went into effect we got an emergency phone call from BP HQ telling us
to raise the price of gas by 5 cents.
