That's just like imposing price freezing isn't it? Didn't Nixon try that?
If your telling a vendor what his unit price must be then it's price freezing
Now I'm like anybody else....I noticed when a gallon of ice cream became 3 quarts. I noticed When the big Mac became the little Mac. I noticed when my cable subscription dropped channels and raised prices. I didn't like it very much but I also understand that if costs rise in the supply chain that the end cost to the consumer will also Rise.
I guess some of it is gouging....some inflation....some supply and demand ...some of it currency devaluation.
So what is the real point here? If vendors cannot shrink size then they will simply raise the price right? But wait! In the final analysis isn't that the same thing?
