@interestingtod@RepThomasMassie Student debt is also doing damage. Has only became an issue in the last 25 years when “everyone should get a college education” was in vogue. Choices.
@fallofrome@RepThomasMassie This is a solid point worth considering. At the same time we have to acknowledge that long term affordability gets even worse for the middle class as prices quickly adjust to the new number of buyers. Post war a house was 3x annual income. Now it’s 5x. This will make it worse.
When FDR created the 30 year mortgage in the 30s, life expectancy was 63.5 years. Today it is 78.3 and rising fast (for women who control nearly half the U.S. wealth, it is 81 yrs.). The purpose of expanding to thirty years was to create affordability in a stagnant housing market. Same here. Perspective is important.
@annamlulis 1/1 Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the correct label. We worship Jesus Christ, not a man named “Mormon”. That is a nickname enemies of The Church gave to us from our faith in The Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ.
Mormons were just burned alive while praying at church in Grand Blanc, Michigan
Children are expected to be among the victims
Evil is real
But God is greater
Pray for survivors 🙏
OMG this is Raphael Ted Cruz out in his Community trying to drum up voters & support by covering up some Graffiti.Instead of covering it up with the original color so you wouldn’t notice it he’s using white paint to cover it up.I guess he got some cheap Oops paint at Home Depot.
This is completely out of line for the Vice President of the United States to frame people this way.
So the people on the FAR LEFT are the issue. Moderates and centrists are fine. And basic liberals are fine.
That equals less than 1% of “The Left”.
@RobertJMolnar@itscarterhughes Logic like this makes it all make sense. California’s economy is based on extreme wealth concentration in Silicon Valley and Los Angeles so that folks living in Bakersfield get to feel good about their 1200 sqft. $800K house and “4th largest economy” Funny, but also sad…
sure, we would love to keep the 90+ billion a year we send to the federal government above what we get back in federal spending in our state (we have been a donor state for 30+ years)
but we dont care because we dominate this countrys economy regardless....but when the poor ass red state redneck hillbillys talk shit on us, we love to point out how useless they all are and how we subsidize their state budgets because they cant come up with the money themselves
so a win win
🚨HOLY COW: President Trump has called for the ABOLISHMENT of the income tax.
This morning, Trump fired 25% of the IRS's entire workforce.
Would you support this?
@interestingtod@itscarterhughes Texas is cute and all.....but California is the 4th largest economy in the world, and exponentially bigger and varied then your cute little oil production
but go ahead
@interestingtod@itscarterhughes there isnt a red state in this country that can rely on its economic output to sustain itself in 2025....but go ahead redneck poor guy
