Many people — especially Republicans — say they want a small United States government that doesn’t regulate much or interfere in the free-market economy.
But when demand is high, supplies are relatively low and the free-market economy gives the world high inflation, then what?
Instead of simply paying the higher prices and reveling in the glory and joy of a free-market economy, those same Republicans blame the Democratic United States President and the House/Senate — the government — for not introducing regulations and price controls that would interfere in the free market economy and reduce prices.
Either they want a minimally regulated free market economy or they want a heavily regulated economy with lots of price controls.
Pick one or the other.
Can’t have both at the same time.
