The price fixing on basics like Orban has done may look like a good idea at first, but I hope they don't happen in the US. If, for instance, the govt fixes price on bread, the bread companies will use inferior product (like sawdust) to still be able to make bread to sell. Quality generally goes down when prices are fixed. And when that doesn't work anymore, then bread companies just quit. Then the govt nationalizes bread companies, and your taxes go to buy ingredients to make the bread (with the sawdust). It's happened before, I'd hate to see it happen again.
