Remember: not even in the most merciless and inhumane dictatorships public opinion ceases to be the major leading force. Stalin himself refrained from many actions just to avoid negative impact in public opinion, and took others just for the sake of getting positive public opinion.

That means that this kind of public stances are taken only and if only a big enough percentile of the population already agrees, and if most part the voters they already have remain either indifferent or accept it as a trade-off for the sake of other things they consider more important.

That leads us to the sad core source of the problem which is much, much worse than Kamala saying this, but the reason why she says it: enough people already believe this so to make it politically profitable to offer it.

It will take decades to reverse this cultural problem. We hope Argentina will serve as an example in the long term.

People don't seem to understand you can't possibly build houses as quickly as you can print money. Even if you had a wonderful plan to fast track building of millions of new homes it won't keep up with pace of the printer.

Putting out a fire with gas always seems to be the preferred solution from the government.

Kamala Harris announced her proposed housing plan last week. The policy will be expensive – perhaps as much as $500 billion - and will do much less to facilitate home ownership than it could, because it does not address the most important reason why housing is expensive: high construction costs. Instead, the plan significantly subsidizes housing demand, which will put upward pressure on housing costs.

They never tire of trying to put out the fire with fuel.

There is no money, print more money.

Inflammation to the ceiling, more expensive houses, solution let's build more houses even if the costs to build them are high, which means that the houses will be more expensive.

It is a succession of stupidities one after the other.

I have seen only one government that in 2 terms of office has solved the economic and social problems of its population: El Salvador. WHY IS THAT?
