[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Roman Empire tried to do price controls after they artificially inflated their ones supply by diluting the amount of silver in their currency.

Look how they ended up.  Many vote those two reasons for why the great Roman republic collapsed.   It’s almost as if Dems never opened a history book. [/quote]
That's not why the Roman empire collapsed. Maybe you need to open a history book yourself.

You’re an idiot.   Rome became weak and allowed invasions specifically because they were weakened economically.  Kinda hard to fund militaries and control global trade when your currency is trash and inflation is through the roof:

Absolutely nothing will bring great empires to their knees like a complete debasement of currency, defaults on debt, and inflation.  Dems are relating the same garbage that destroyed the Roman Empire.[/quote]
You are also an idiot.    Did you know that the government regulates water prices? Milk and grain prices?  It was done to help farmers.  Rs sure like regulations when it helps them directly but not when it helps *everyone*.[/quote]
