In which I argue with a dead fictional character about price controls, free speech, and bagels
The bagel reference is from an episode in The West Wing season 5, where two underlings say the economy is in a recession, and Josh Lyman scolds them – “Call it anything else, just don’t say that word. Call it a bagel.” My implication being that price controls, like any other like-minded government control on freedom, bring about “bagels” that politicians deny responsibility for.
Embrace liberty, it’s the only way we’re getting out of this.
