The government in WWII was also pretty damn vehement about price-fixing for the all.of.it. they were buying.

Harry Truman went from obscure back-bencher to national figure by chairing the committee that sent a bunch of factory owners to prison for war profiteering.

Yep it’s how he got the DNC’s attention. Personally they did the right thing replacing Henry Wallace with Truman. McCarthyism would have been even worse had you had Wallace.
