Among the most fundamental aspects of our republic, and a democratic system is to accept the outcome of elections.

Democrats' wasteful spending, growth-killing regulation and excessively accommodative monetary policy are exactly what led to 40-year high inflation.
We should avoid the temptation to adopt new so-called tenant protections or permanent rental assistance that will have negative unintended consequences.
