What right does Congress have to regulate sales of helium? Or anything else for that matter ...

Remember the National Helium Reserve? The boondoggle that was costing taxpayers $1.4 billion? The one that was established to ensure that the US airship fleet had an adequate supply?

It was privatized. As well it should have been.

Dems would open the Strategic Helium Reserve when taxes they passed on helium make it cost so much that people start complaining.

When party balloons become too expensive, then gubmint can subsidize balloons for poor kid’s parties.
