what is the government doing about price gouging?
both state and federal governments have in place price gouging laws to be used during a time of emergencies, if the unemployment in the united states is not an emergency why is it the only news? the price of groceries is being pushed to the point of insanity. is it because so many more are using food stamps and the government will never cap what they are willing to pay? this is price gouging at the extreme. they cannot say it is cost of labor or cost of transportation they already raised prices for that. this is every week prices are up and volume in a package is down. make this an issue today.

The main reason is things like environmental laws that force corn to converted to ethanol instead of food or animal feed. That increases the price of things. Then there are the restrictions on petroleum production that causes the price of fuel to go up which makes the transportation costs higher.
