New Re: There's no definition attached

But to have the government dictate arbitrary salary levels based on the fact that gov't money is involved...way too slippery a slope for me to jump on.


What if gov't money isn't involved?

I can give you a point in US history where gov't not only dictated arbitrary salary levels, but also prices for goods/services (in peacetime, no less).

New Actually your both wrong
This occurred under Nixon, not Carter (or FDR)

Although, someone could argue that it lead to the gas lines under Carter -- naw...that would take the stigma off of Carter.

I knew you were talking wage and price freezes under nixon in early 70s. It has been nearly universally accepted as a really bad move.

My response was simply to say we've done stupid things before and we're apparently primed and ready to do stupid things again.
I will choose a path that's clear. I will choose freewill.

Not arguing it was a GOOD idea...

but I do laugh when people (usually Republicans) have complained that "Obama is doing something UNPRECEDENTED".

New repos that used to be democrats maybe
we had wage and price controls from hoover till kennedy then johnson launched the war on poverty and quickly got enmired I think carter was the first to repeal most of that with reagan repealing the rest. Now we are rapidly going towards the nixon model
