>Housing isn't expensive because of the "elevator union"
Not the sole reason, but it is a reason

I also mentioned several other explanations in the post that you responded to, you just picked one of 6 culprits I named.
> There's no level of reducing "bloat" (DOGE 2.0?) that's going to magically make health care as accessible as it is in every other first-world country in the world
Healthcare admin bloat absolutely is a major factor in healthcare cost. There are 10 admins for every doctor.
Of course, you can't just randomly fire people without knowing what you're doing as Elon did, you have to simplify the amount of paperwork that actually needs to be done.
>There's no reason education can't be substantially more affordable, if not entirely tuition-free. And no, it's not because universities have too many people working in the bursar's office (yes, turns out you do need administrative staff to actually run the place).
Making universities tuition free without reducing the amount of they cost would be a major tax sink. That would not be positive for our country.
And we of course need some admin staff, but we don't need to have more admin staff than educators.
>Yes, if you want social services like a modern developed country has you have to tax people to pay for it.
You're not going to be able to pay for this just through taxing the rich, you would have to increase taxes on every income level. Again, the total wealth of every billionaire is less than the annual federal budget. Their money doesn't go as far as you think it would.
