Yeah, we really just need price regulation in the U.S. But all the politicians are in the pocketbooks of corperations so it won't happen. 

You don't need it. Will give you two very good examples of how much good rice regulation does... Brazil during 80's and early 90's and Venezuela of now... do you know what happens when government force or freeze prices? The products stop being made.

Yah, you know as earlier in this thread people will label it as 'communist' and unrealistic socialist ideas anyway, even though the most developed countries on this planet with the highest standard of life use such a system.

You mean the ones on verge of bankrucy and that are less than 10% the size of USA?

I need to go back and read my old econ 101 textbook. Price regulation isn't the answer.
