Why wouldn't Trump freeze prices to prevent gouging?
It's unconstitutional.
It's stupid.
Is it unconstitutional?
Do you not remember this... “I am today ordering a freeze on all prices and wages throughout the United States.”

It was unconstitutional, and counterproductive, when Nixon did it.
counterproductive is an understatement...but it was never found to be unconstitutional
Please show where the Consitution gives them this capability.
It has been done multiple times, WWII, Nixon, Carter. I do not know their reasoning, but I know it has never found to be unconstitutional
What has meaning to me is meaningless....
Where does the Constitution say that the Fed Govt can take my tax dollars and give them to farmers because of a stupid ass trade war?
Where does the Constitution say that Congress can abdicate its power to declare war and give it to the POTUS?
That's why the left is trying to create these fake shortages.Why wouldn't Trump freeze prices to prevent gouging?
Price "gouging" is already illegal in many jurisdictions. Why "freeze prices"?
Sounds like a good way to fuck up the economy, which is what the libs really want to do so they can blame Trump for it.

It was Nixon, not Carter because inflation was getting out of control!

Carter limited the amount wages and prices could be raised.
The premise of this thread is that we're only just getting started on the coronavirus crisis. My state has no reported cases so far - but there is already panic buying in my area.

Just because the media has been successful in creating panic so far, doesn't mean they will be able to continue to do so.

The media isn't creating panic. The scientific facts coming from scientists and public health officials are creating the so-called panic. Then, we have Trump lying about the facts.

What facts.
Corona deaths in U.S. = ? (maybe 10)
Flu deaths in U.S. in 2020 = 10,000
Those facts ?

Why wouldn't Trump freeze prices to prevent gouging?
That was during the Obama administration, moron.When did Congress ever let the Constitution get in its way?Actually, the SC found it unconstitutional in the early days of the New Deal. It ruled the NRA to be unconstitutional, and it's primary function was to set and regulate prices.Who sued?...When was the case ruled on?
As far as I know, nobody...thus it has not been found unconstitutional...seems simple enough
And yet it has been done at least 3 times since then...weird.
Right before the last time a president let the Constitution get in his way

Consumers face coronavirus price-gouging
As fears over the coronavirus grow, people are frantically buying up supplies and leaving store shelves empty. Prices are also sky-rocketing online as demand grows, such as two large bottles of Purell hand sanitizer on sale for nearly $300 on Amazon. The same size normally sells for about $9 a bottle. An Amazon spokesperson says the company does not allow price gouging and it has "recently blocked or removed tens of thousands of offers." Anna Werner reports from a pharmacy in Manhattan on how coronavirus price gouging is affecting consumers.
How coronavirus price-gouging is hurting consumers
Have you experienced price gouging? I've heard several people say that they have. Since I don't do much shopping, I can't speak to any personal experiences - yet.
But the government is their Union, and if it represents them striking over anything their little hearts desire, then they are happy. They can't make it without their government in which they've set up to represent them. Even though government isn't supposed to be this way, and representation is supposed to come in the form of themselves creating their own Union (leaving the federal government out of it or just as a referee so to speak), they instead use the government to go against other American's interest by strong arming them with the threat of government force, otherwise just to put them into submission. It's not right, but it's something the leftist learned over time, and they've been using the tactic everytime they are in control of government. It's really sad, because look at the damage it has since caused this nation.Gouging on what? purell can name it's price, don't buy it if you think it is too expensive...I would hope we let the market dictate price, when folks are not willing to pay a price they won't.Why wouldn't Trump freeze prices to prevent gouging?
