Nixon did the wage and price freeze.
It was a miserable failure too.

I don't think ceilings are the solution.
I do think subsidizing quality food for lower income individuals is a solution.

So restricting and increasing EBT?
I still believe in liberalism today as much as I ever did, but, oh, there was a happy time when I believed in liberals.

I don't know about that.
Subsidizing higher quality product at places like the dollar store, grocery outlets, etc. is probably sufficient.

How would you work that? Median income of customers? Location?
Taxing grocery stores to subsidize dollar stores would just push the poor farther away from quality food and produce.
