EU vs Hungary, and some others...

 


Hungary and the European Union seem to be on a collision course.

 Hungary refuses to abide by EU "rules" on letting in illegal immigrants.

Listen to that again: Hungary refused to let in illegal immigrants.

Hungary regards them as a security threat the the EU is fining Hungary one million euros a day until they led in illegal immigrants.  Hungary, meanwhile, is sending migrants in a bus to Brussels.  Brussels is not happy.

Meanwhile the Netherlands is asking to opt out of EU immigration rules.  And powerhouse Germany has reinstated border controls.  The EU openborder policy seems to be failing as well.

You have heard me say it before.  The EU should have remained the Common Market.  The "European superstate" thing is not going to work.  Now it tries to exercise dictatorial  powers against its own members since they won't agree to work against their own interests.

The number of terrorist attacks in Europe due to "migrants" should be a warning to every member of the European Union and the EU itself.

Watch from European nations to follow Britain's 2016 example. 

Hopefully, they do it right!

Doesn't understand economics...or anything else

 

Price controls?

Anyone with a rudimentary understanding of economics or history knows price controls don't work.

In order to get control of inflation that the Biden-Harris administration has caused printing money to cover runaway government spending, the Cackler said she wanted to impose price controls on groceries.  

Aside from the fact it is unAmerican, it won't work.

I guess this proposal appeals to her desire to control everything and it stems from the fact she has never had a real job.  Or has an understanding of economics.  Or anything any thing else. 

I decide how much to charge for something.  Not the government.  The LAST thing anyone wants to do is raise prices.  Sometimes, you have to in order to cover expenses.  Kamala does not understand this.

Is corporate greed behind price-gauging.  Certainly, but markets and customers have a tendency to handle that. Not perfect, but if you lead free enterprise capitalism alone, it can take care of itself.

Price controls lead to shortages as companies cannot cover expenses by raising (or lowering) prices.  Tell the government to cut expenses and not print money and amazing how things solve themselves!

Diocletian tried to impose price controls and everyone ran out of everything,  In recent history, Presidents Truman and Nixon did the same with the prices of meat and soon meat vanished off the shelves as producers did not bother to produce since they could not make a profit.

The Soviet Union had price controls and a centrally planned economy. 

How did that work out?

If Kamala was any dumber, she might be stupid.

Sometimes I wonder if our entire society is too stupid to survive.

If so, it was fun while it lasted!
