Command economies never get it right.... In the old USSR, communist party members couldn't figure out how Americans came up with consumer prices. Russians would take a Sears catalog and translate the prices into rubles. Years ago a young Russian asked he how we came up with price to charge for items... I said we didn't come up with prices - that everyone could charge what ever they wanted to charge. She didn't believe me.

Yes, you’re so right. The myriad of decisions that go on in an economy are too vast for a government to manage or to even understand, most of the time. I believe it’s even why so many companies do not last very long. They cannot detect a coming change and are caught off guard. This is the type of thing that the smart set, the Obama types, do not get about a free society and the value of free enterprise.
