If you bothered to read whT I have posted on this I said it was a DUMB idea. As far as price controls. Well aren't farm subsidies that pay farmers NOT to grow food a form of price control? Sure it is. And it's not just the dems that are for this. Most of these farm states end up voting red every election. If John McCain went into Iowa and Nebraska and Indiana and said he was going to end farm subsidies he would lose those states.
