“Antitrust is important…monopolies…major threat to our economy,” Nick Tomboulides, plus Manufactured Housing Investing, Stock Updates

DowJones6.25.2020ManufacturedHomeStockUpdatesBroaderMarketSnapshot
The evening snapshot of manufactured housing connected stocks at the closing bell are found after the featured focus and the related reports. No one else in manufactured housing provides this business-nightly service.

The quote in the featured image for this report is from Nick Tomboulides. “Tomboulides serves as Executive Director of U.S. Term Limits. Under his leadership, USTL launched the Term Limits Convention, a campaign to obtain a congressional term limits amendment via the state-directed convention.”

That featured quote was not part of Tomboulides testimony to the U.S. Senate, which is found further below in our featured focus segment this evening.

Whatever someone’s views are on term limits, Tomboulides presented fascinating statements in support of the problems, conflicts of interest, and purported corruption that flow – per their organization – from a lack of term limits.

MHProNews is not necessarily promoting their proposed solution for many of the nation’s woes. An MHProNews reader brought Tomboulides Senate testimony to this trade publication’s attention. The testimony is laced with fascinating comments, whatever someone’s views are on the topic.

That noted, MHProNews posed 3 questions to Tomboulides via email for mutual accuracy, which he replied to below. The Q&A takes a devil’s advocate stance, reasons to doubt or question their  proposal. To his credit, Tomboulides promptly accepted the challenge and provided the following responses via email earlier today.

As longtime MHProNews readers know, we routinely turn direct quotes bold and brown to make them ‘pop,’ but the text is as provided to us via email by Tomboulides.

 

MHProNews Q1: At the core, those who have the money to pay for lobbyists have the money to stand up a long string of candidates.   They can and do at times support people in both major parties, so that whoever wins, they win.

Nick Tomboulides, Executive Director, U.S. Term Limits: “Lobbyists are a problem and term limits would dramatically weaken their influence. In the status quo, the stock and trade of a lobbyist is relationships. Sometimes quite literally. I am reminded of a recent report that the Congressman who chaired the Transportation Committee was dating the top lobbyist for the airline industry. Infamous lobbyist Jack Abramoff has said that lobbyists oppose term limits because “a representative who stays in office for decades, and is a friend, is worth his weight in gold” to a lobbyist.

Term limits sever lobbyists’ relationships with members, making the job of peddling influence much harder. This is why, when term limits have been on the ballot in states, cities and counties, lobbyists and their clients exclusively contribute money to oppose term limits. They know it would be a major hit to their bottom line.”

 

MHProNews Q2: A critical part of the solution [to the concerns raised by U.S Term Limits] is antitrust action and strictly enforcing existing laws that would often punish those who manipulate our system to their benefit.

https://www.manufacturedhomepronews.com/applying-democratic-republican-barak-orbachs-monopolization-logic-to-affordable-housing-crisis-impacting-manufactured-home-industry/

Nick Tomboulides, w/U.S. Term Limits: “Antitrust is important as monopolies pose a major threat to our economy. We do not claim term limits is the *only* worthy idea or a silver bullet, but that it would have a powerful impact and make Congress work much better. Other reforms certainly have merit as well.

Incumbents, in a way, are a protected monopoly themselves. While they claim they can be removed in a free market (elections), they really wield unfair advantages which make that impossible. Between special interest PAC dollars, name recognition, free media coverage and other special benefits, incumbents stack the deck to stymie competition. This is why 95% of incumbents get re-elected and 90% of them don’t even face legitimate opponents. If members of Congress were subject to anti-monopoly laws, they’d be toast!!!”

 

MHProNews Q3: The other thing that…our nation needs is a better informed electorate, including how to spot false, paltering, or misleading information. Our industry is rife with players that we would allege are corrupt, and it reaches into the federal government. That’s based on years of research and evidence. So, again, we believe in the concerns you raise, but are not yet sold on term limits as the solution.

Nick Tomboulides, w/U.S. Term Limits: We need a better-informed electorate, but even that wouldn’t solve the problem of career politicians. I’ll give you an example. There was a time several years ago when many of the most successful and well-informed people in my area were considering a primary challenge to our incumbent congressman, who had been in power 20 years. They ultimately decided against it. Not because they believed he was doing a good job, but because the seniority system in DC allotted him special clout for our district. He was able to bring home the bacon. If we voted him out, we would have gone to the back of the line. The unlimited tenure system – which rewards rust rather than merit – keeps even our most well-informed voters from voting their conscience. Term limits would smash this seniority system to pieces, just as it has in states like Florida. The Florida Legislature has 8-year term limits. It gets a new Speaker every two years, which prevents any one person from accumulating too much power. Newer and younger members don’t need to wait their turn and grovel to leadership – they are given considerable influence from the jump.”

 

Agree or not, the responses provided by were not Tomboulides on behalf of U.S. Term Limits are NOT the standard dodges that some in advocacy or politics may use. He directly addressed the questions, which at a minimum merits respect.

With that exclusive tee-up from Tomboulides at U.S. Term Limits, the featured focus this evening will be his testimony to the U.S. Senate. The featured focus is found after the left-right news headlines recap, after two of our three market snapshots and today’s quotable quotes. Newcomers note: the manufactured housing connected stocks at the closing bell follow the featured focus and related reports segments of each nightly report.

The quote by President Obama is often agreed to by people on either side of that left-right media divide. Not only in politics, but also with respect to manufactured housing, there is a need to challenge the narrative spun by the so-called Omaha-Knoxville-Arlington axis and their allies. Not only must the prevailing narrative be challenged, it must be repeatedly challenged, because efforts at manipulation and propaganda are arguably ongoing too.

According to a new poll by McLaughlin & Associates, congressional term limits might be the most popular and bipartisan issue in Arizona. The poll, which was conducted from January 9-12 statewide in Arizona, found that 85 percent of voters favor a constitutional amendment placing term limits on Congress. Further, 85 percent of voters want the Arizona State Legislature to vote for an amendment convention to term limit Congress.

This marks an increase in support from the last time the issue was polled, in 2017, when 82 percent were supportive.” So says a press release earlier this year, on January 15, 2020 from U.S. Term Limits.

The site provides various similar surveys, including one that pitches the point that “former Marine Amy McGrath will defeat Mitch McConnell decisively in November; but only if she begins focusing on one key issue: congressional term limits. If McGrath does not stress term limits, the race remains a tossup.” That is dated June 1st, 2020.

 

 

The transcript below and linked here is of the testimony reflected in the video above that follows was provided by U.S. Term Limits to MHProNews and is found on the U.S. Senate website.

 

Senate Testimony for Term Limits on Congress by Nick Tomboulides from U.S. Term Limits

QuoteMark1ManufacturedHomeLivingNewsIf passing term limits were a trial, you would all have to recuse yourselves for a colossal conflict of interest,” Nick Tomboulides tells Senators.

Opening Remarks to Senate Judiciary Subcommittee

 

Nick Tomboulides
Executive Director
U.S. Term Limits

 

Thank you, Mr. Chairman and senators for providing me an opportunity to address this important issue.

I want you to imagine for a moment that you are an employer, and you’ve got some problems with your employees. When you hired these employees, they promised they would do exactly what you asked of them. But once they got the job, they became a nightmare.

They stopped listening to you and started using this job to line their own pockets.

They took the company credit card and racked up more debt than you could pay back.

They became so obsessed with KEEPING their jobs that they FORGOT to DO their jobs.

And after all that failure, all that disappointment, all that incompetence….

Your employees came to you and said: “We deserve a raise.”

If you are a reasonable person, that should make your blood boil.

And yet, that is exactly what it feels like to be an American taxpayer. The first three words in our Constitution are “We the People.” It’s written larger than anything else. Because the framers of that document, the architects of our Republic, wanted to remind you, at all times, who is in charge. We the People. We are your employers and you have an obligation to listen to us.

I come to you with a message from the American people: we demand term limits for members of Congress.

In fact, according to the last five national polls on this issue, 82 percent of Americans want term limits. That includes support from 89 percent of Republicans, 76 percent of Democrats and 83 percent of independents. This is not a left or right issue; this is an American issue. In fact, term limits could be the only issue with support from both President Trump and President Obama.

Now there was a time about 25 years ago when Congress was debating this. Nearly every opponent of term limits up here had the same rebuttal: experience, experience, experience. We need experience to do this job right. If only you leave your Congress member in office for decades on end, he or she will become such a policy expert that all our problems will be solved!

In hindsight, that was one of the worst predictions ever. This system is broken. Congress has given us 22 trillion dollars in debt. The longest war in American history. A broken healthcare system. A broken immigration system. A tax code written by lobbyists. An explosion of money in politics. Worst of all, too few here have the courage to solve these problems, because the only focus is on getting re-elected.

That’s why it comes as no surprise that Congress has a 14 percent approval rating and 60 percent of Americans say they’d fire every member of Congress if they could.

Unfortunately, elections alone cannot fix this problem. Not because voters love you guys so much, but due to the nearly unbreakable power of incumbency. At the same time members of Congress publicly claim elections are free and fair, they secretly exploit every advantage to keep power.

Incumbents get 9 dollars in special interest money for every dollar that goes to a challenger.

And if incumbents are having difficulty raising money? Not to worry. They’re allowed to send campaign-style mailers at taxpayer expense.

That’s to say nothing of all the free media and name recognition politicians naturally get just for being in office.

The incumbent advantage creates barriers to entry for everyday Americans without the connections to fund a campaign. It’s the case for term limits. Elections may in theory be capable of dethroning incumbents, but that isn’t how it works in the real world. Congressional incumbents have a 98 percent re-election rate.

This probably explains why Congress looks more like a country club than a melting pot. It’s predominantly made up of lawyers and politicians…and is disproportionately old, white, rich and male. Term limits would give us a legislature that better reflects the diversity of our society.

The message incumbents send to young people like me seems to be “we want you just close enough to the political process to help us win; but don’t get too close and take our jobs.”

The American people have lost confidence in Congress, and for good reason.

We routinely see abuses of power. 18 months ago it was revealed that members of Congress were secretly using taxpayer money to settle lawsuits – some for sexual harassment. You still haven’t disclosed how our money was spent and on whose behalf.

So term limits is a check on arrogance, it is a check on incumbency and it is a check on power. It is a way to restore political courage while bringing fresh faces and ideas to Washington.

As Benjamin Franklin said “In free governments the rulers are the servants, and the people their superiors and sovereigns. For the rulers to return among the people was not to degrade but to promote them.”

Here’s the dilemma we face: over 80 percent of Americans want term limits to happen. Donald Trump and Barack Obama want it. It is being blocked purely by the self-interest of Congress. If this were a trial, you all would have to recuse yourselves, because you have a colossal conflict of interest. If term limits pass, you won’t stay in the limelight forever. And some people might even stop laughing at your jokes. You’ll have to become…ordinary citizens.

And that is the entire point. We are asking you to do what’s right and listen to the people you represent. It’s time to bring the gravy train into the station, end the reign of career politicians and give Congress back to the people.

Please support Senate Joint Resolution 1 for term limits.”

MHProNews Analysis and Commentary

Frankly, MHProNews has historically questioned the merits for term limits, for reasons noted in the 3 questions that Tomboulides responded to as reported at the top of this report.

Tomboulides has provided the most thoughtful responses we’ve encountered on the questions posed. That doesn’t mean that we are promoting their viewpoint. But it does indicate respect for Tomboulides thoughtful and prompt responses.

Our industry is underperforming. Good laws that would support our industry that already exist are going underenforced or unenforced.  Third parties praise our industry, but the Omaha-Knoxville-Arlington axis and their allies arguably fails to do anything that doesn’t directly benefit their agenda. Their agenda is not hidden, they want to consolidate what remains of the industry’s independents.

Manufactured housing outsold RVs 3 to 2 in 1998. A decade later, RVs were outselling MH by some 5 to 1. That’s a stunning reversal that the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI) and their surrogates fail to explain. RV industry shipments generally rose while manufactured home shipments are about 75 percent under where it stood in 1998. Both are big ticket items that require financing. Why is manufactured housing more constrained when laws exist that were meant to address that very important need to provide more affordable housing?

Tomboulides, unlike some of the powers that be in manufactured housing, is willing to stand up and explain his positions publicly.
