The article clearly exemplifies what's wrong with government market intervention. It's wrong in principle of course, but even worse when it's based on faulty analysis of wrong/old data. Constantly I read articles making statements that fly in the face of current reality.  There's simply no good data, no pertinent analysis, no 'expert' smarter than the market.. a lesson that we should have learned over centuries and keep forgetting.  But we have politicians who have electoral goals... "God save us" from these interventionist bureaucrats.
