What's this a-hole's angle on this one? It's never about helping normal Americans out. I am Assuming this is just a scheme to give illegals housing on the back of the American taxpayer?

I’m so damm tired of this nonsense.

Buy votes. Buy Votes.

Wasn’t it last week that this was a big Kamala plan?

I remember when Joe’s dad and little Joey were watching two dudes make out in the streets in the 60’s. That’s when little Joey first leaned about gay love!

When the government "helps" build homes and "helps" feed people and "helps" give people a subsistence living of any kind...



...and crime and misery follow.

DH Horton and DSLD must be writing checks to democrats this year.

Then in 5 years when the house is falling apart, the person buying the house will be broke.

Families don’t need 25k towards down payments, we need help solving a federal flood insurance problem and a looming homeowners insurance crisis that keeps making homes unaffordable. Also, throw in high interest rates are also hurting Americans building and buying power on homes.

“Why son, those two fellers are just in love.”

In late 1950s - early 1960s Delaware/Pennsylvania, Joe Biden, Sr. would’ve very likely taken a tire iron to those two fellers.

Joe's housing proposition is one of the dumbest he's come up with.

The down payment assistance alone will cost about 50 billion a year.

The 2 million homes suggestion is even worse. Flooding the market with 2 million cheaply made government owned homes will plummet everyone's home values and kill their equity. Not to mention add more bloat and spending in fed gov employees.

Who owns the land the houses are built on? Who pays the taxes while the homes are being built? Who makes the decisions on when and where the houses are built? If these are low income housing, they're not going to start building real equity for decades, if ever.

Is $25k about the cost of a Katrina cottage?

Wonder if this housing is for all the new migrants, who will become residents, and eventually voters?

The federal gov't building homes/providing home loans???

1) Unconstitutional. Nowhere in the Constitution has the federal government been given the authority to provide housing or loans to anyone with collected tax monies. Claiming precedent does not make it right. It's time to rein these bastards in and LIMIT them to only the enumerated powers and authority they have. Extra-constitutional acts and legislation are what have gotten us in this mess to begin with.

Biden-Harris have effectively ended the dream of home ownership for tens of millions of Americans with their destructive economic and fiscal policies.

The price of homes would just go up by $25,000. Haven’t they learned anything from the student loan situation?

Sounds like putting illegals in free housing to me. Obama spoke of something similar but putting them in upper end suburbs around big cities

It sucks because these "homes" will be nothing more than 400sq ft concrete shithead apartments. Just like so many housing projects. Give em 5 years and they'll be run into the ground like a beat up work truck.

Imo the American Dream is a house with land. A garden. A sidewalk. Privacy. Not sharing a wall with your neighbors and their 4 barking dogs and crying babies

It's a genius move.

1) Build government housing.
2) Give a shite load of people that normally wouldn't get approved a down payment.
3) Two years later, reassess the homes for $100K more.
4) Hit those people with a tax bill they can't afford.
5) Repossess house.
6) Find another poor bastard to add to this pyramid scheme.


These people are fricking evil.

How about just not printing trillions in COVID stimulus money so that the Federal Reserve doesn't have to raise interest rates to keep the economy from overheating and inflation doesn't hit 40-year highs? Do that and first generation home buyers will be able to make their own down payments and build their own home equity.
