“Most economically literate people generally understand that price controls are a bad idea, leading to outcomes such as shortages and rationing of goods and services.

Josh Hawley, R-Mo., announced that he has teamed up with the consummate supporter of every bad economic idea, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., to introduce an arbitrary 10% cap on credit card interest rates, something that President Donald Trump did float during the election. However, while Trump is doing a fantastic job of keeping promises, this is not one that should be kept.” (02/10/25)
