I just want more competition in the general aviation industry. Aircraft prices should be half of what they are now

I fail to understand how this will have any appreciable effect on the cost of flying for a new pilot. Those main costs are the cost of buying or renting an aircraft, both which have skyrocketed over the last couple decades. When I was in flight training in 2001 I could rent a Cessna 152 for $47 an hour. Nowadays I see then going for $113 an hour. That is a 140% increase! The prices to buy are hardly any better, and have taken another giant jump in the last 5 years. It seems to me that this is just too little too late, just like the first Sport Pilot regulations.
