Certainly!
Because, without exception, that has always worked before.

Ironically, it was Archie Bunker who said it best:
“He’s doing a hell of a job for a guy nobody voted for!”
That show was crammed so full of Leftists, and Archie himself was a mockery of conservatives.
I’m surprised it was 19 posts in before someone brought up Nixon.
I was at my girlfriend’s house during the speech and her father (a doctor) said it would be a miserable failure.
He was not only right, but had a marvelous daughter....ah regrets...
OH YEH - like that will work. Lived through price freezes with Nixon. For the first time, our grocery shelves looked like the Soviet Union’s - empty of many necessities.
Price controls result in shortages and long lines.
Well why not, that policy has failed every time it's tried.

Just one of the ways inflation is ‘disguised’.
We were talking in the grocery store about how many ‘fancy’ brands would bite the dust when people could no longer afford them.
There's no such thing as a real roast anymore.

I don't remember if we talked about where you live and your “about” page doesn't say. Moving would just about do me in, but if I lived in the northeast states that are determined to take/limit my guns/magazines/ammo, my freedom, those sicko blue states, I'd have to move. And, add California to that list - I'd get out of there.
me too - doing me in!
But we’re anxious to get out of Mexifornia and back to the US. So a move is necessary, if not soon then in 5 years if we have to wait that long. I really want to die hearing English spoken ;) NO border states for me either again - I’ve lived in 2 and they were both ruined. And when amnesty passes, that could turn TX and AZ purple, even blue, with all the new Dem voters. Not to mention, all the other states. The country will be toast - but I still want to find an enclave that resembles the old USofA.
Oh, one more thing of concern to me in moving - the lack of public land in most states.
I think I’d be a sitting duck in my preferred location (rural KY) if the economy wanes and the hordes from the cities come into the country areas. And the lack of firewood and hunting and fishing in most places could be an issue.
Here in CA, we have a cabin backing over a million acres of national forest. And the location is rather remote and unknown, up a windy road with no outlet.
I’d REALLY like to find something similar in a better state. Rather than jump from the frying pan into the chaos.
