Mortgage interest rates are trending down in April 2026, with the 30-year fixed average dropping to around 6.37%. While rates are lower than a year ago, they are expected to remain volatile and likely stay above 6% for much of 2026 due to inflation concerns, rather than dropping significantly soon.

Yes like I said lowering

what will? Right now interest rates are dropping and have since Trump took office.

Why do you think lowering interest rates hurts us?

Oh, and that story about China and other countries not investing in America? They aren't buying our debt because we no longer seem like a safe bet? Or in retaliation for Trump? And how that's going to lead to higher interest rates? That's going to raise interest rates too.

As I highlight in my prior post foreign investment in the United States is on a upswing since 2024 historical low

You are confusing direct investment with buying debt.

Also not sure your obsession with China, we don’t want either from China. They spy on us, steal our IP, interfere in our elections, support rogue states, and are simply an oppressive, totalarian regime that enslaves people…nevermind I I get why you want them investing in the United States and why your party admires them so much


Also, yet another reminder, interest rates have fallen since Trump took office

No. It's spin. I just showed you that people in the upper middle make $70-$150K. Is that a lot of money? Family of 4 making $150 is a upper middle? And 33% of us are in this bracket? Sounds like spin to me. And I'm sure that was true on Biden's watch too. After everyone got their inflation raises.

Fact is, however you were doing 70 days ago, you're doing worse now because of your boy Trump

Everything ebbs and flows.

Like I said in another thread, tariffs we only ate half of them. Corporate America ate the other half. So Trump hurt both us citizens and corporate America. And you hate big government huh? And you don't trust government. Meanwhile you watch the most corrupt government we've ever had since Bush lied us into Iraq. I thought Bush being an oil man and Chaney being a Haloburton man was too much but apparently not.

Anyways, don't think corporate America is going to continue to eat that half. Slowly, surely, the creep is already happening, the profit margins will be back up at your expense.
