When gasoline was $4 per gallon, I am sure you felt that something ought to be done about it. Well, something was done. Market forces stepped in and reduced the prices and considerably more effectively than some government agency could have achieved. If the price of meat gets too high, people will stop buying it which will, in turn, lead to an oversupply, which will cause prices to fall. When the government tries to interfere with that process is when things get crazy as well documented by Obamacare.
