price ceilings

price ceilings are of dropped below the normal market equilibrium  to keep a price of a good at a reasonable  price to the people. I enjoy having price ceilings and I wish that there we some that were instituted upon other every day items like milk which can become extreme, bread and gas. but I am all for a lower price on gas but i do not want a repeat of history when there becomes shortages of gas instead. because gas companies could not charge as much as they do at the pump. but if there was a ceiling put upon the gas companies there would be a lot of releaved people but shortages galore. but as a person under the poverty line i would rather have shortages of gas. instead of my mom breaking her wallet for gas and scrabbling to pay rent at the end of the week.
