    Use the anti monopoly laws we have in place to prevent price gouging from lack of competition

        Sorry to be pedantic on the internet (lol) but it might be more accurate to say inflation has slowed.

          Burn the pedant!

          I still think decreased is accurate though, the rate of inflation is significantly smaller today vs then, so the rate has decreased

      How would you like the President of the United States to do that? Do you think the President is a dictator that can just unilaterally pass sweeping legislation? How do you think the public would react if the President had the power to directly determine the prices of goods? How do you think that would go in general?
