So now more talking about the tax and spend provisions of the Inflation Reduction Act. Biden was just a cheerleader with a pen!

 

I just said I thought Ryan-Trump was more good than bad. And that the "bad" had more to do with no related component reducing federal spending.

Good for you on your tax bracket. Now please send that EV tax credit back to the Treasury.

 

 

Oooo and the claws come out

 

Let's keep it on the up and up frank, I wouldn't want to have to give you the

I agree. That's why (until the new Trump Tariff proposal) I hated Elizabeth Warren's idea of adding some kind of "wealth tax" to the income tax and the death tax. I thought that was the low point of of tax policy proposals from nominally legitimate candidates.

But now we have a new winner!

As I’ve said many times. IMHO the only way to fix this mess is to move to a true flat tax. The hope being that when everyone had skin in the game the politicians will stop pandering to subsets of Americans.

Mortgage interest rates hit a new high under Biden

DAVID STROM 

 

 

CNN tells us that this is somehow good news, showing that the economy is roaring and happy days are here again.

 

Sure, housing has never been this unaffordable in US history, but that is only because Biden has done such great things for the economy.

 

No, really. That is the explanation. It has nothing to do with all that money printing, inflation, government spending, or gross overregulation.

 

It is the great economic times we have been having.

that's got to suck for people with VRM.

 

Same with a lot of credit cards with variable rates.

 

my collage age son got one of those preapproval cards and I checked it out. had a variable rate of 34.99%.  

 

insane.

Bidenomics: Joe Biden's whiteboard whitewashing of the American economy

 

This is just sad, folks. Listening to Joe Biden slur his way through this White House media production, where he tells hurting Americans that things are going great, is almost too much to stomach.
 

The hallmark of the Biden presidency has been paying more for less, yet he continues to brag about his role in our demise.

 

Biden starts with the tried-and-true 'trickle-down economics' myth.
 

Democrats love pretending that those of us on the right want to hand all of the money to rich people, who will 'trickle' it out to the rest of us.

 

In reality, conservatives favor pro-business policies that encourage the wealthy to take their money out of hiding, where it can be taxed and invested to create new wealth.

 

Guess who the very first people are to be paid when business is healthy? That's right, the American worker.

B-man, the economy is in rough shape because of bad policy, that is for certain. But I do have hope that It will right itself because of the power of the American people. 

 

That would be in spite of the the DNC agenda, not because of it. The agenda is so poorly thought out, crooked and corrupt. But I still have faith in the hard working people of our country. 

 

We have to weather this storm and hold out hope for change and a better future.

Teicke down is a talking point for people that don't understand supply side economics.  The difference is when people and businesses drive it , vs state spending to drive it.  The latter creates bubbles and income inequality.

OMG !

 

WHO thought that this was a good idea?

You have to hand it to the Biden team. They truly seem to be clueless. Or perhaps they think we are, with the things they try to sell us. 
 

They think the problem isn't Biden, it's just messaging. If Americans just understood Biden and his policies a little better, then we'd truly get what a great guy he is and how wonderful his "plans" are. Of course, the problem is that we do understand his policies--because they are adversely impacting our wallets every single day in so many ways.

 

They're costing us hundreds of dollars more every month--by one count, $709 more a month--and it's not something we will soon forget.

I am no longer referring to Biden as anything, especially president. He is geriatric and clearly not making any decisions, he's probably senile. The administration we have today is the DNC  agenda. Thats what's president, probably some collective. 

 

That beings said. The economy we have today that's hurting Americans in the wallet, mine very much included, is 100% due to poor policy of the current administration, an agenda that's been in the making for quite some time, since the hillary clinton days. An agenda that is poorly thought out and ill fashioned, an agenda that knows/knew it would cause pain, and probably said something along the lines of "screw it, this has to be done, it will cause some pain but it has to be done for the betterment of some pie in the sky idealism"

Nope. 

 

Maybe you, JFR, can provide the proof that award winning economist, scholar and author has been asking about for years?

Replying to a meme as fact is hilarious. Since 2015 the basic items I buy food wise have at least doubled. The bread that was $1.50 is now $4. The milk went from under $3 to over $5, the bacon was less than $5 is now almost $10. I found a receipt from 2015 and I looked up same items at Publix now. My income has improved even close to that and if not for my locked in mortgage I would be screwed right now.

Home affordability is the worst it has been in nearly 40 years, study shows
By Stephanie Weaver

 

New data shows that buying a home requires a large slice of income in 2023, and thus it has become the most unaffordable housing market since 1984.

 

In order to compare home affordability over time, researchers at Black Knight, a mortgage technology and data provider, analyzed home prices, interest rates and income levels in each month dating back to 1975. They calculated the mortgage payment required at each point in time to purchase the median-priced home using a 20% down 30-year fixed-rate mortgage.

 

To provide a relative comparison, the company then calculated the share of median household income needed to make that mortgage payment in each month over the same period of time.

 

In doing so, Black Knight found that it currently requires a $2,423/month mortgage payment to purchase the median-priced home today (assuming a 20% down 30-year fixed rate mortgage).

 

"That’s the highest such mortgage payment ever required and represents a $1,155 (+91%) increase over the past 2 years,"
