Funny, all this talk about socialism etc. Nixon was fond of wage and price controls. More socialist than we remember. I do remember the gas shortage, but living on a farm, we had a good supply.

I think Nixon was President at the time, and the Arabs were mad at Nixon and Kissinger for supporting Israel. I don’t think Nixon was a Socialist. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Prince Sent: Friday, March 04, 2016 10:57 AM To: af@afmug.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] anyone watching the debates Two things wrong with that. First, what do you mean "back to"? This country has never been socialist, and I don't see that happening any time soon. Second, the guy who made everyone stand in line for toilet paper was Johny Carson, and he wasn't even a politician. It was pure supply and demand. bp <part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com> On 3/4/2016 8:43 AM, Rory Conaway wrote: > Josh, the problem with Bernie is we do trust him. We trust him to bring back > socialism.
