Cheap at half the price.

Aaaahhh, yes. Amazon’s scam revealed.

New deal! Buy two, pay for both!……

50 year old prediction for today’s economy

I don’t even recall inflation (or inflation fighting) having phases.

Phase III was part of the Economic Stabilization Act of 1970 which Nixon used to ‘fight inflation.’

Phase I – 90-day price and wage freeze

Phase II – a Cost of Living Council establishes wage and price controls.

Phase III – another price freeze to balance out the economy.

Phase IV – voluntary compliance and gradual decontrol
