How would a government control food price inflation?

By Legalizing gay marriages, Wondering how it works? That would make lesser the number of normal marriages which would lessen the population growth making the demands and supply needs equal....LMAO

Price controls are nothing new and they fail every time they're tried. The government could force food producers to sell their products for set prices. This would create even more shortages and result in more starving people. This is the law of unintended consequences and it bites governments in the a** every time but they refuse to learn from it. Nixon tried price controls in the 70's here and when they were finally repealed, prices stabilized and supply increased--it happens every time.

A good question! The need is for lower prices and since these prices are due to the costs of the product, there is a need to reduce the cost of using one or all of the 3 factors of production. In particular land cost is too high and it can be reduced by shifting the tax on incomes onto land values. This will encourage land to be properly used and more of it to be made available.

A welfare system is usually put into place with a fair system of checks and balances to make sure that only the needy and not the greedy are using the system.
