> One of the thing that blows my mind is that Nixon unilaterally declared a price and wage freeze in an attempt to combat inflation. Reminds me of "Deep Impact", where President Morgan Freeman tells the world that an asteroid is coming, and by some sort of Presidential Decree he orders all prices fixed to avoid mass hoarding and price gouging. I wasn't around during the Nixon years, but the writers of that screenplay must have been.
