mchammer. This also exposes the lies of the neocons who have controlled the Republican Party for 45 years. If you keep pursuing this path the hornsfans RINOs are going to attack you almost as much as they attack me. I welcome you aboard. Let's pursue truth.

"Illegal" pricing?? Maybe one of you attorneys can explain that one to me because it sure doesn't seem like there's anything illegal based on what I learned in Dr. Prentice's Blaw class. Maybe just another effort to buy votes?

Some industries are tightly regulated enough that the government can screw with pricing. Of course, in typical government fashion these are some of the industries that most overprice their products and services - pharmaceuticals, insurance, medicine, and others.

More broadly, there's at least some wiggle room to go after businesses if their pricing is part of a broader anticompetitive practice (antitrust) or deceptive trade practice. But that would take litigation to enforce, and it would largely be meritless, because the main reason prices have gone up so much is inflation. Our dollars simply aren't worth as much.

Yes, if I don't know that after all my economic courses and BLaw courses I should give Witt my degree back. But it's not the heavy regulated industries and products that are hurting a large majority of Americans the MOST.

Yes it is.

Putting price caps end up reducing supply which therefore increase prices. The businesses will either die or if they are politically connected well enough they will get special deals to set pricing for themselves, usually at a monopoly type price.

The most inflation is in housing, healthcare, education, and insurance. Highly regulated.
 
Now that I’m in the heart issue group I have the pleasure of reaching the idiotic donut hole coverage. I now have a new item that I consider the most asinine and illogical legislation ever imagined.

Reduces quantity supplied, not supply.

12-month percentage change, Consumer Price Index, selected categories (bls.gov)
A lot of items have come down and are negative in the last year. Food is still one of the highest and the processing and labeling of it may be highly regulated, not the pricing. Car insurance is much higher due to technology and EV's. EV's costs more to service and 3x more to repair. And a lot of them experience spontaneous combustion.

One could argue the lack of regulation, or enforcement, is driving up housing costs. There's are only so many houses and the undocumented democrats have to live somewhere, which eventually spreads to all houses. Builders can only build so many houses and they want to keep the quantity supplied low to keep prices up.

Are there any Americans including Demx who truly think this massive influx of illegals with all the adjunct problems: increased crime , drugs ,trafficking,strain on resources, diseases etc etc is a good idea for our country?
WHAT did they think was going to happen?

I don't think they cared. I really don't. Undoing everything Trump did was priority 1

6721, I'm with you on this one. The outcome was totally predictable. Furthermore, Biden knew that he was disregarding the law by not enforcing our immigration statutes. Why is this not "dereliction of duty" - could that be a "high crime or misdemeanor" worthy of impeachment?
 
Yes, there are those who are favorably disposed to the opening of the border, all those with the mind set of - we now have potentially 10 million new votes. I guarantee that is the thinking behind it. It is totally deliberate.
