After? It ain't started yet.

That's news to many. Certainly not everywhere

Again, where?

Who's reining them in?

Get a saw, hammer and nails and start building?

Or are you suggesting that the prices in the market place be controlled? In that case, not bloody likely.

Ask your Econ 101 teacher.

You really should have paid more attention in class, then you wouldn't have to take the lazy and unreliable approach to having someone else do your work for you. Simple supply and demand should have been covered in the first week of any econ class.

So everyone on welfare can afford the products.

Get the govt to step in and regulate things.

Then we can all be equally poor and equally miserable.

(Remember this above line, it is an important part of supply and demand.)

Reined in by whom? The buyer? Or some form of (ill-advised) regulatory body?

Choose less expensive products?

>

1) Lower the demand.

2) Increase the supply of materials and labor.

3) Decrease the amount of onerous regulation and requisite "paperwork" (that only goes to featherbed bureaucrats).

There is one solution to high prices that ALWAYS brings the price down.

High prices!
