Absolutely true! The democrats are like teenagers. They get to give pretty things. The republicans are the parents saying no all the time. I think it worked until the 90’s. Now the teenagers are winning big!

Well, at least we don’t have to worry about any unintended consequences coming from such brilliant regulations.

Real estate prices went crazy after the Biden gang engineered the current inflation curse.

Who would benefit most? The retired people who thought a small apartment complex or a couple of duplexes was the way to a comfortable life after 40 years of toil? Or, wealthy real estate tycoons who can absorb the costs until they can buy up all the retired people who will go bankrupt because of rent controls?

One has to actually HAVE the ‘power’ before they can GIVE it away.

Congress and the courts will block this nonsense. It never worked anywhere it was tried, and caused housing shortages. Idiocy marches on, but they don’t have the power anymore, and Trump’s justices and judges can put a stop to all this pernicious nonsense, even if it does get through Congress, which it won’t. Yay, federalism!

But at the time the Founders didn’t think that the senate would be controlled by political parties rather than the states like today. Repealing the 17th would be a start...
You're right. It would be much better to go back to having state (majority party) legislators appoint their good ol boys big money donors, rather than allowing the people to vote for their Senator < /sarcasm >.
