Not that you needed a reminder that Bernie Sanders is batsh*t crazy, but here’s your reminder for today. Bernie Sanders, Democratic candidate for President of the United States, has officially proclaimed rising rent prices to be “a crisis”:
The median American rent payment rose 61% in real terms between 1960 and 2016 while the median renter’s income grew by 5% https://t.co/PzU77qUnkl

And there’s only one way to fix it:
This is a crisis. We need national rent control. https://t.co/e1M46veUm9
— Bernie Sanders (@BernieSanders) January 19, 2020
That’ll solve the problem and definitely won’t exacerbate it or anything.
Price controls don't work.

Yeah, government control of prices always turns out good. #SocialismKills

"The implementation of price controls at a national level is an awful idea. Rent control doesn’t work, as even the most basic economic theory suggests."

To be fair, Bernie Sanders is a socialist. He doesn’t subscribe to basic economic theory.

Warren has a plan for everything, and Sanders has a crisis for everything. Yawn.

Is anything *not* a crisis?
What about movie ticket prices? Or the number of handicapped parking spaces at Walmart? Or the variety of available cat food flavors?
Seriously, is there anything you’re not enraged about?— Stephe96 (@Stephe96) January 20, 2020
A crisis? Everything with you is a crisis. Bottom line, the crisis is that you need to get your hands on everyone else's money.

Sanders literally is sometimes the dumbest person on the planet. https://t.co/vfqpPO1wBx

Or he just counts on everyone else to be too dumb to realize what he’s doing.
