I think one thing you need to understand is the problem with price controls.

People who don't have an understanding of economics first reaction is to create a low price ceiling with the good intention of thinking everyone will now be able to afford items.

This creates a problem with suppliers when the price ceiling is very low. If the price ceiling prevents a profit then the supplier will stop making that item and then there will be shortages.
