    I mean he is sort of right on this bill, no one will really notice it or give a shit.

    Republicans, along with a lot of democrats, don’t actually want housing affordability because that would require home prices to go down and most of their constituents, especially those who vote, are home owners and don’t want that to happen.

    Their only solution is to make it easier to borrow more money so they can keep house prices inflated while allowing some new people to enter into the market with bigger and bigger debt.

    This should be his “Let them eat cake” - the quote that goes down in history to neatly illustrate what a loathsome piece of self-absorbed shit he really is.

    Didn’t he campaign on housing prices? His slimy running mate even spread a few lies about illegal immigrants buying up all the housing between couch thrusts.

    Like 99% of the country cares very much about housing.

    If Iran wipes out Trump, his cabinet, and several other high level officials, the war will be over, and we’ll be paying Iran handsomely for their house cleaning

      The Cheeto’s voters don’t care. Brooks also called that.

    Isn’t privilege THE “rose colored glasses” to END ALL “rose colored glasses”!!

    As an old man, he s discovered what middle-class & working-class people do to buy food:

    “It’s the first time I’ve stepped into a supermarket. It’s crazy – fascinating what one can buy. There’s enough here to easily gain 20 kilos.”
