An entire generation being locked out of homeownership is far from "very good"
I acknowledged in my post that prices are too high. That includes housing. Homes in most metro areas are overvalued but there's been an uptick in listings and "there are signs of a correction" (see below) in the housing market. It's also very likely mortgage interest rates will fall when the Fed takes action next month. All of this will help with affordability.
I'd like to hear the details about how she will override state regulations and local zoning to make that happen.
We are sevral rate adjustments and market corrections away from getting back to the American dream. The three million homes would mostly be cheaply built rentals. Look at what Blackstone is doing.
I think it's funny that people are fine with others getting their ass kicked but wouldn't like it if it was their own. Why not force universities to offer a college degree (any) for $5,000/year then your salary would be cut to offer it at that price. The Medicare price negotiation is a big joke. It's not a negotiation at all. It's the government telling the suppliers that this is the price they get. I'd be fine with that part of it but even doctors don't have to accept what Medicare pays.... they can refuse but from what I've read the pharmaceutical companies get fined if they don't accept the Medicare price.
He doesn’t understand…probably saw it on Facebook. He was tore up that I asked him about it….
(Sorry, been at a site check all day).
Do you even realize that you just admitted that Biden's current border policies are working?
"Eating" (your term) depends on what the Biden administration negotiated as the price.
Do you think the cost increases in other areas for this “negotiated price”?
And when Trump "dances" to YMCA, it's either in lower case or he can't spell "YMCA."
You just admitted that Biden's current border policies are working. Don't you listen to yourself?
If I ever get to talk about money to any two women of my choice, it would be Oprah and Cher.
And, well, their star thinks this makes him look athletic and irresistible:
You don't get credit for putting out a fire just because you stopped pouring gasoline on it.
Also (apparently) not based on screwing a porn star only months after your present wife had a baby.
I feel your pain, Man. I’ve been married three times and none have come easy, but I’ve remained relatively happy for the most part of all of ‘em, so far.
Removing the combustible material and oxygen from the fire is exactly how firefighters put out fires, regardless whether they use water, blankets, CO2 foam or whatever.
Exactly right. I've got no problem with giving out a 'breakfast' at school, but It should be something healthy, with a lot of fruit and no sugar cereals. Banana and yogurt and some orange juice, something like that. It doesn't have to be bacon and eggs or something that takes a lot of work by the cooks.
So far all we have is trumptrumptrump and the second of the big two racists...Al Sharpton. Maxine was on the other night.
Dbm. I think Beyoncé has some good music. Be happy it’s not Taylor Swift. It’s not 2008 anymore. Beyoncé’s last album came and went with a fart.
Well sure - you're always schtooping the dental assistants. Why wouldn't you be happy?
And by the way, I think that link is whack. You think 48% of the children in Indiana are 'dependent' on the free lunch program? Gimme a break.(Sorry, been at a site check all day).
This site has a bit of a breakdown of which states offer the most free lunches.
Where in the United States Are Children Most Dependent on Free School Lunches? | AAA State of Play
Ever wondered in which states children are most dependent on free school lunches? This article will shed some light on those statistics.www.aaastateofplay.com
I used to have a very similar opinion. Kinda got a wake-up call about 7 years ago. My youngest's elementary was giving out free breakfast and lunch. When I asked a teacher about it, she said that for about 20% of the kids, those were the only meals they got in the day.
I found that hard to believe, but a bit later, I had about 40 kids for a cub-scout meeting (my wife and I were running the local pack back then) and had them raise their hands if they had breakfast / lunch at their school and no dinner at home. IIRC, about 6 raised their hands.
When I asked one of them about it later, he said that it wasn't an everyday thing. Some weeks he got 3 square meals a day and he didn't take the school lunches. Some weeks he would get about one or two a day from home, some weeks he'd get none. While I don't know the exact situation he was in, I do know that he was living alone with his mom.
The kid didn't look like one of those kids from an African village where you could see his ribs, but he wasn't portly either.
I think there is a bit of a chicken / egg situation here too, where some parents know that their kid can get a free lunch, so they take advantage of the system and wipe their hands of it. We certainly don't live in the wealthiest suburb, but we're not dirt poor either.
Either way, yeah, again I think it is more than you think, but I agree that it's not like all these kids are holding out their bowls saying "Please sir, I'd like some more."
It's still the 'south' and the 'south' is doing pretty damn well, economically.
Not true. I was driving through eastern Tennessee and stopped to get gas and talked to a guy who had lived in Indianapolis. His $145k house is now worth over $400k because of all the 'damn people moving in from other states.
This is complete nonsense. Trump's voluntary $35 cap for SOME people on Medicare did not take effect until 2021. It REMAINED in effect until the Biden administration expanded it to everyone on Medicare in 2023.
