You also have the banks with very deep pockets to be able to bribe politicians into passing legislation on other agencies while protecting the actual criminals.

Your way of thinking allows politicians to get away with the moral hazard of spending more than we can and just creating more fiat money through the Fed.

When politicians are trying to get elected, then it's alright with everyone, but when it's a simple bandit sign people start to speak up.

I tell you, politicians ought to be tarred and feathered for their breathtaking stupidity.

They are bought and sold much like a liquor license, and at least seven of them belong to local politicians.

If you want to make it in real estate, become financially independent, escape the crappy rat race, you know that will give way to automation, outsourcing, you know the static existence universities, colleges, and politicians have conditioned us to believe will continue to exist forever?

The people/politicians pushing for the increase have failed to clarify where the money will come from?

Housing permitting an policy is generally controlled at the local level be politicians who are not well-versed in finance.  

@David E Gardner Welcome.I think the fix is in, when you look at the former politicians and hacks that have received licenses.BUTYou could open a fast food franchise, check cashing office or Chinese take-out near by?

Nope, politicians as per normal were at the bottom of it.
