Three scenes of an incoherent Government

June 3, 2003

1) On Sunday the Central Bank reported that despite price controls on foodstuffs, food and beverage prices were up 8% during the month of May, demonstrating for the nth. time in economic history that price controls simply don’t work.


2) On Sunday, Chavez during his Sunday “Alo Presidente” program expressed his outrage at how could prices could go up if they were all controlled and said he would investigate this.


3) On Monday, the Ministry of Agriculture announced that the prices of some price controlled foodstuffs were being increased.


Do these people even talk to each other?
