Great can he please do something about all the banks sitting on all the foreclosures to keep home prices high and inventory so low? That would be great is someone could address this.

The solution here has to be a transferable lease that lasts as long as the mortgage.

Interest rates will be going up, especially after May.
Maybe wait the full two years?

Why would people want to move in the US? To where? The job market sucks. There is no manufacturing boom. Unemployment is rising, and inflation is holding steady.


the unemployment rate is 4.5% and the inflation rate is 2.7%. Not bad, really.


I trust any number coming out of this administration. Boots on the ground says both are up, wildly so.


The economic data is no longer reliable and cannot be trusted. After they fired the BLS employee for publishing an unfavorable job report there is zero credibility for economic data from gov.


The past 4 years were revised down


accurately? Or just by fiat? FFS.
