This is what America voted for overwhelmingly in November.

The midterms will determine whether you're correct or just bullshitting as usual OP.

People are still upset at the cost of everything, and they blame the regime in power.
Biden fucked up "affordability" with his 23% total inflation, costing families $11,400 a year or $950 a month in lost buying power.
That much lost buying power is hard to make up in a year or two.
We'll see if voters jump from the frying pan into the fire in the mid-terms.

 

[Nostra]

Weak.

Racist.......LOLLOLLLLOLLL
I'm not speaking for others, dick weed.
I'm just telling you that I'm a White Male and the trump administration is treating Rich White Males very well......... Winning.


It pains you daily that I'm more successful than you.
Ouch.

Thanks for confirming you think minorities can’t invest and get rich. What is your reasoning? Too lazy? Too stupid? Why are you saying minirities can’t invest?

Weird.

No stupid, last November determined I’m correct.

In-person voting with I.D, term limits for congress.

If not, it's only a matter of time...

Without term limits for Congresspersons being put up for a Constitutional Amendment, I can’t see it happening. And I doubt most Congresspersons will ever vote to have such an Amendment put to the States and the Peiple for ratification.

Short of an Article 5 Convention of the States, therefore, I believe that notion is doa.

Why are you putting affordability in quotes?

 

[MarcATL]

President Trump is doing EXACTLY what he said he would do, unlike Obama who completely DECEIVED the American voter.

What did Obama promise to do?

 

[Mack The Finger]

Smart to do it over a federal holiday when the courts are closed.

That is old school.

If Texas adopts term Limits for its Assembly Members ( it’s only fair )

Why are you putting affordability in quotes?

Because there were so many factors that contributed to Biden's 23% total inflation.

The Federal Reserve contributed by not tightening rates when they should have.

Economists contributed by calling serious inflation "transitory".

The drought made beef expensive as herds were reduced and some crops failed.

Biden's open borders letting 12,000,000 illegals into the US and giving them free food and free housing increased demand and reduced the supply of just about everything,

So "affordability" has many factors and very few solutions. Housing for example has materials that are too expensive, and mortgage rates that are too high, so a major component of the economy is going nowhere.

Some people don't seem to notice that 2024 was last year, 2025 didn't go so well for GOP, and they have a sheet over their heads pretending not to notice because they don't want a discussion about WHY.... because THEY are WHY....

It was 50% product/labor availability, 30% profit taking, 20% normal inflation of other stuff.

The Federal Reserve contributed by not tightening rates when they should have.

It wasnt a demand driven inflation. Rates didnt help. Only supply chain and production helped.

Economists contributed by calling serious inflation "transitory".

It was. All the inflation was in 24 months resulting from supply chain disruption, labor availability, and companies taking advantage of lower availability with profit taking

The drought made beef expensive as herds were reduced and some crops failed.

Nope. That is totally made up.

Lowering mortgage rates doesnt lower house prices. The relationship isnt there. The only thing that will lower housing prices is an increase in supply of affordable homes.

Artificial manipulation of market supply with tax subsidized affordable housing wont do it.

Building more homes isnt manipulation. Its real supply. Not sure I follow your point.

You cant build homes that are "affordable" without government intervention and subsidy. Thats not going to lower prices of homes on the free market.

Sure you can. Smaller, higher density homes are not being built. Zoning and incentives do work. The goal is to build more moderate sized and higher density homes that are affordable. The goal isnt to build mansions that are subsidized by the government.

The Fiat currency has made homes and investment. Look at reality. We have a socialist system with a percentage of employment and massive socialist programs. We print up money at a huge rate above the total GDP.

Homes cannot be subsidized by the tax payer for people who would not otherwise afford them and lower prices in the free market where housing prices are competitive.

That cant be true. Over in my thread "Show me an example of a working right wing country. I dare you" everyone says the US is that shining example. How can we be a socialist system?

Printing money is meaningless. Money is just a way to trade services and goods.

Increase in supply, keeps prices lower.
