18) It has been suggested that President Carter change the present system of voluntary price and wage controls to make sure that big business and big labor unions cooperate more with them. When he put in the present 7% limit on prices and wages, many big business and labor union leaders had not promised to go along with it. If President Carter were to sit down with big business leaders and big labor union leaders and get them to agree on new voluntary controls, would you favor or oppose that kind of system of price and wage controls?
