In whose purview is curbing price gouging ? The President? The Congress? The purse strings are in the hands of Congress. The utter lack of an understanding of how our government’s three branches operate, both independently and in consort leads to people assigning blame for the free market capitalism that defines our economy solely to Biden , which results in uninformed voting. So many voters are undereducated and susceptible to lies and propaganda. They are a source of deep concern to me.

For example, what reasonably intelligent and educated person would vote to send someone like Paul Gosar to Congress?
