Well, with the hope that the GOP can "fix" an already good overall economy comes a lot of crazy policies that people will have to deal with in many other policy areas. But people chose to be single-issue economy voters and will now have to live with the insanity of all the other policies.

It really is ironic how it feels like Republicans got things done over the past four years, even without formal power. Biden definitely got a ton of good stuff done, but they were awful at presenting it to the public as wins.

Commercial real estate investment firm CBRE pegs the premium to buy versus own at about 35% earlier this year, with the dip in mortgage rates in the fall helping bring that level down from a record high of 52%. Their measure includes the cost of mortgage insurance that most lenders require but doesn’t factor in expenses like homeowners insurance or upkeep.

We're talking about two different things.

This is also very evident in the reactions to the election. Trump and the GOP were all screaming and hollering about election fraud right up until it looked like they wound win. Then crickets. Everyone is in only when their own team is winning.

Well, based on the recent election results, I suspect there's literally no limit to how low Americans will go.

Great to have all the conspiracy theorists back in power. Awesome job, America!

Watch RFK wash it all away.

Not the scenario this article talks about. Most people need mortgages, especially first time buyers.

I don't think your case is what the article describes.

Depending on where you live, much or all of that value goes away if it's 35-50 percent more expensive to own. Especially if you choose to invest the savings.

Lumber prices are actually currently where they were for much of 2018.

Like these young Trump voters. TikTok is where they get their news and Rogan is who they listen to: https://www.cnn.com/2024/11/18/politics/video/ufc-trump-fans-digvid

A bunch of them helped Trump get back in the WH. Not exactly risk-averse in my book.

Certainly

Greene on Monday described these actions as a threat against Trump's "mandate."

That mandate calls for actions Democratic states must accept, Greene argued, such as the mass deportation of "illegal invaders" and preventing trans children from playing sports.

The funny thing is that MTG is getting less and less of a "mandate" from GA-14 for all of her crap: In 2020 she got 74.6 percent of the vote, in 2022 she got 65.9, and in 2024 she got 64.4. Keep it up Marge.

Funny but not funny.

That's awesome.

That's a lot of gaming

He did a lot. The IRA law got a ton of green investments and enterprises going, including attracting businesses from across the globe. But that's all gone now with Trump.
