President Evo Morales sought Wednesday to drum up support for his move over the weekend to end subsidies on the price of gasoline, a decision that resulted in the largest gas price increase in 30 years and led to protests in some cities.
...
Morales said he would add 10 percent to the national price for staples like rice, corn and wheat to incentivize domestic food producers to grow more and would invest in water projects, too.
He added that he will increase by 20 percent the salaries of police, the armed forces and the health and education sectors.
...
A strike by bus and other public transportation drivers went as planned, though some remained on the job. Those who remained, however, raised their prices, too.
The Bolivian and Grecian governments can butt into anything they like....in Bolivia and Greece!
Okay, point taken, but you're missing MY point, in that when gov't gets involved in this kind of thing, it generally gets FUBARed. Our economy is in shambles b/c of gov't regulation and the gov't butting in where it shouldn't be.

Socialsts don't want to admit that there is validity in your point. To do so is to admit their "utopian" social government is an abject failure worldwide.

LOL. Too many government "regulations" is what caused the banks to go nuts making bad loans and selling those worthless mortgages. LMAO!!
Exactly! The government should stick to things like determining enemies, going to war, and spying on its citizens instead.
that is a good point, we have freedom because of our power.yes we have to destroy our enemies not just hurt them like we are doing now.you are very smart!!!!
Interesting how some are worried about government control of financial matters but are okay with government control of the mind and body.
