    It just goes to show the contrast in the last two Presidents. Biden's profligate spending drove inflation to record levels, and millions of illegals entered the US to compete for food, housing, and healthcare. Housing prices soared, pricing out first time homebuyers. Food prices soared. Healthcare costs soared.

    Trump is working hard to LOWER PRICES and has already brought inflation down to historically below average levels. Now he's working hard again to making housing more affordable. He's doing things. Biden just spent and spent and spent... and predictably, housing prices skyrocketed along with inflation. What a contrast.


    GOOD DAY

    Housing prices soared because people were eager to move at 2% mortgage rates. But housing prices are sticky and inflation meant mortgage rates had to be raised to cool but not smother the economy. So housing is expensive, rates make it more so, but the economy cooled. Then trump decided he would institute a massive tax in the form of tariffs which derailed that landing.

    Housing prices are going to fall over the next 6 months but for the wrong reasons.

    I predict Bitcoin is the canary in the coal mine. When bitcoin drops, the tech sector will follow, and the whole US economy will be drug down with it. Notice this is not even Trumps doing.

    the average age of a mortgage is 7 years. Very few people hold 30 year to term

    I love how your MAGA cultists pretend that Trump didnt add 5 trillion dollars to the deficit by passing tax cuts for the top 10%. I also love how the MAGATs pretend that the 2025 deficit will be higher than 2024

    The funniest stuff is when the MAGATs pretend hes working hard when hes played golf 40% of his time in office lol. Yall are sincerely hilarious

    Cmon.... bitcoin follows the nasdaq and not the other way around. Bitcoin market cap is a drop in the bucket compared to the larger market. This is a bad take

    What a dumb post! Low IQ, low influence. I know it frustrates you... I can easily sense it.

    COVID added to the deficit -- Trump was running modest deficits until COVID... and the Trump tax cuts ended up bringing in record revenue. We don't suffer from too little taxes... we have a SPENDING PROBLEM. We can only GROW our way out of these deficits and tax cuts lead to growth -- it's not debatable.

    Biden just set off record inflation by spending at never-before-seen levels and then provoking the war in Ukraine. What a colossal failure he was! Trump is at least taking bold action to help people. Biden didn't lift a finger to help home buyers.

    2017 tax revenue- 3.4 trillion
    2018 tax revenue - 3.4 trillion
    2019 tax revenue - 3.6 trillion

    Accounting for inflation the us government collected less money during trumps first term lol. Its just funny you cultists are still spewing trickle economic bullshit as if were braindead

    LOL -- adjusted for Biden's inflation, my chef's grocery bill is low! Your arguments are just so terrible. Low IQ, low influence.

    Seriously, you will not achieve your goals in life if you do not work on yourself! You need to be aware of this. I share this to help you.

    You literally just said Trumps tax cuts led to record revenue when in reality it didnt do so. Have some shame and quit lying so much. You are sinning in the name of a politician. Hell isnt worth lying for Trump

    A third party reading your posts would believe you have no religion whatsoever! I mean, let's put aside that your religion is a post-Christian religion centered around a figure who fails Biblical tests of prophethood and likely made up the "revelations" he received... and also consummated a marriage with a 9-year old. Just put all that aside -- it's not relevant!

    ​
    just the opposite,
    • trump 1.0 and 2.0 have been workig to increase inflation, via the tariffs,
    • on a yoy basis
      • inflation and cpi have gone up every month since Trump 2.0 started, and that's not counting January 2025

    traitor george needs to stop lying,

    right off the bat, Trump 1.0 was running the deficit higher than his predecessor,
    his tax cuts for the top 1%, in 2017, only exacebate the deficit,​

    covid didn't start until 2029/2020​

    traitor george is parroting the disinformation

    [​IMG]
    ​

    FDR discontinued the ill-conceived tariffs policies, implemented by Hoover and the GOP, which tanked the US economy.

    Trump 1.0's tariffs was touted as the be-all to end all. it didnn't.

    Trump 2.0 tariffs have planted more seeds for inflation,​

    Damn you wokesters in here are weird. 30 years mortgage totally normal, 50 years mortgage you all are freaking out. You don’t have to do the 50 years if you don’t want or have to but you have a choice. Just like the 10 years, the 15 years, the 30 years and now the 50 years. Now you got choices. And you can pay them off early. Those who are financially savvy will not get into the longer terms mortgages but saved up your acorns to pay off your house quickly to save money.

    throw out regulations so banks can make people buy their houses twice or thrice.

    50 years purchase adjusted to US$ value of what used to be 30 years..., check this out
    "Dollar Faces Risk of 2000s’ Boom-and-Bust 40% Decline, RBC Warns..."


    But it's not bad at all for investors, a lifetime loophole to reduce tax implications

    50 year loan

    The projected U.S. life expectancy for 2025 is 79.4 years,

    So basically you have a start buying your house at the age of 19.4
    in order to pay it off in your life time
