I still have no idea how the current Republican coalition holds together. In many ways, Trump has been one of the most economically left-leaning presidents we’ve ever had — from wealth redistribution via cash handouts and massive deficit expansion, to the government taking ownership stakes in major corporations, pursuing an extremely protectionist trade agenda and pushing high inflationary agenda / exerting pressure on the Fed to push rates down. It’s remarkable how closely this mirrors aspects of modern monetary theory, where fiscal restraint is largely abandoned in favor of short-term political or populist goals.

I'm not as opposed to a 50 year mortgage as some, but I think this is false as the amortization schedule would be different and thus impact the amount of principal paid down

The 15 yr car note was obviously BS

The bigger issue with home prices is the lack of supply. Affordability is based on the payment amount, not the total cost of the home. There are only so many 3-500k homes to go around right now, and the total cost of those homes are appropriated by the pool of population that can afford the payment on a 30 year mortgage. The only way to lower the cost of homes is either by having less buyers or more homes. Throwing a 50 year mortgage into the mix only adds more buyers with the same number of available homes, thus increasing the cost of those homes to whatever the additional pool of 50 year mortgage buyers can afford. More interest to the banks and more equity to the existing homeowners.

Trump has gone full blown boomer neocon. he is making self inflicted error after self inflicted error. Importing 600k Chinese, 50 year mortgages, 15 year car loans, Biden level gaslighting about how the economy is actually great and if you disagree you just need to suck it up and pull yourself up by the bootstraps, continuing the war in Ukraine, attempting regime change in Venezuela, continuing the H1B pipeline, and endorsing the likes of Lindsey Graham


We are definitely at a low point of Trump 47. Not a fan right now.

Pimp’s Postulate # 44: In the architecture of political design, it’s the small misalignments that cause the deepest fractures. It is always the small differences that rankle the hardest and cause the most damage.

I am becoming increasingly embarrassed about how EASY you lads are taking what should be a moment to torment the Marxist Left into making even deeper errors and making it about destroying the impure Republicans. The self destructive parallels between the New Left and the New Right are scarily similar.You have them on the ropes and you let them up and take aim at the referee and the crowd. Big tactical error.

They are winning. They have hijacked Trump and Trump is kicking out the likes of Massie and MTG. The midterms are going to be brutal for Trump if he doesn’t course correct and course correct really fast.

You can support Israel without being a neocon. You can support Israel without wanting to send US troops over there.

Old friend-The better question is WHY do you THINK you will RECEIVE accountability from any politicians in general and Republicans specifically? How far back do you have to go since there has been ANY political accountability? 1981? 1787? 1776?

You are simply holding the line against Leftist cannibals who will eat you and your family. That's all. shite like "do women have a penis" and "will we have 87,000 new IRS agents and will AOC get to pick the next SCOTUS judge". We are playing ON THE MARGINS and you ol boys, well-intentioned as you are, think you are going to settle scores with internecine warfare and addition by subtraction. The Jacobin instinct is spreading from the Left ot the Right in a metaphorical sense-the spirit of The Purge-your appetite to purify is possessing you. It's the current hubris, -and you've forgotten that to hold off the barbarians at the gates, you need every able-bodied man. I caution you, as your friend and ally in this struggle, to aim your rhetorical fire at the Marxist Left. They are here not to annoy you, but to kill you.

You're confusing appreciation with equity.

$105K is the amount of appreciation. If you sold the house after 7 years, your profit would be higher if you had a 30-year mortgage vs a 50-year mortgage as you would have more principle applied to the 30-year (i.e, a lower payoff) than the 50-year.

Selling price - payoff = profit.

So having a foreign policy that doesn't involve claiming a clean train station equals a better country is a bad thing?

I hate how simplistic our thinking has become. I miss the Cold War when you knew what the stakes were.

I didnt go liberal, Trump went lazy boomer neocon grifter scheming with Bibi and Marco about unnecessary stuff that makes Lindsey Graham erect.

The best redeeming quality about Trump is that his kids will tell him he is losing the base and then hell ask them what to do and hell tack back towards AF.
