Who is going to live on the land BLM has out west?

Have you seen that land?

People live in Phoenix and Las Vegas don't they?

Neither were much to look at in the beginning either.

No - you've sold me. The main purpose of government is to take care of us. Uncle Donny loves you.

The main purpose of government s to protect the PEOPLE (not greedy landlords - like you, maybe ?)

Each side only whines about it from the other side and fights for their sides free money tooth and nail

It's worse than that. It's still the "other sides" fault when their side does it.

Kamala Harris To Propose $25K Down Payment Support For First-Time Homeowners

To address the housing shortage, Harris will call for the construction of 3 million new housing units. Her plan includes introducing a tax incentive for builders who focus on creating starter homes for first-time buyers and expanding existing tax credits for affordable rental housing development.

Vice President Kamala Harris will announce a comprehensive four-year strategy on Friday aimed at reducing housing costs. The plan includes a $25,000 down payment assistance program for first-time homebuyers and incentives to boost new housing construction, according to Harris-Walz campaign officials.

Harris will reveal the plan during an economic policy speech in North Carolina, CNN reported.

Damn, vote buying much?

Don’t try to drop prices by making sound financial decisions for the whole country, just print money and buy votes!

Next week:

Breaking news!.....Home prices just shot up $25,000 overnight. Economists baffled.

The response will be the immediate addition of 25k to all housing sales prices....actually more since the financiers will calculate what that additional down payment money will allow in the way of loan underwriting.

It will make things worse not better.

are landlords not people also?

 

[protectionist]

Nope. She's going to stop that with laws preventing "price gouging". Kamala will save us!

So if she did stop price gouging, in your view, that would be a bad thing ?
If so, why ?

 

[protectionist]

are landlords not people also?

The point was, ALL the people are supposed to be protected.

And during 2021 & 2022, no landlords were NOT ordinary "people". They were price gougers. with unprecedented, soaring rents.

Progs play groups within classes against each other and have for many decades.

I agree. This is money that could have gone for another billionaire tax break.

Harris to Lay Out Economic Message Focused on High Cost of Living

The vice president’s plans represent more of a reboot of President Biden’s economic policies than a radically fresh start.

Ms. Harris’s proposals for her first 100 days in the White House include efforts to combat price gouging at the grocery store, jump-start the construction of more affordable housing, restore an expanded tax credit for parents and lower the cost of prescription drugs, according to a briefing document released by her campaign. She will call for a tax incentive to build starter homes, seek to cap the cost of insulin at $35 for all Americans and attempt to reduce the cost of health insurance through the Affordable Care Act.

Its modest but better than another billionaire tax cut and Middle class benefits cut plan.

home prices just shot up 25k. Economist baffled

Sounds like smart politics.. Buy less bombs to pay for it.

Cutting one program to fund another isn’t what we need, less spending in all areas of government and higher taxes would help control debt, lower debt, stronger economy, stronger economy helps level wealth, level wealth, more are able to afford housing. $25,000 reduces the price by 8%, that doesn’t help more qualify for a home. We need to educate people on how to spend and how to go without as they build to their goals, buying votes and spending more money doesn’t help Americans, it hurts us in the long run.

She is half right, she doesn’t need to cut taxes, she needs to raise them on everyone, she doesn’t need to buy votes, she needs to cut spending, lower debt, is a long term solution buying votes needs to stop, it hurts Americans in the long run. We need to stop appealing to people’s greed.

Then end all the breaks for the "poor" like child tax credits.....Make them pay their way like everyone else.

No better way to ensure the expansion of inflation than to keep handing money out for votes to apparently fight inflation

You need to end corporate tax breaks as well. I have more sympathy for the poor than rich corporations but we need cut spending and raise taxes, we can’t spend our way out of debt.

Corporate tax breaks aren't "welfare", they are incentives to companies to act in a way that the government wants them to.

The government will never get rid of them, as its a way to control businesses.

Not me....corporations use their breaks to create jobs that the "poor" could take, but they don't want to.
Plans to help the poor are temporary until they can get on their feet....they are not meant to be a permanent means of support like dimtards have made it.

That's me. The greediest! But Kamala is going to give me 50k for my vote, so I'm good.

Government has no business controlling businesses, if a corporation cannot make it on its own, then they are gone.

They use those breaks to give to their stockholders, that is who the work for, let free market capitalism work.

Oh I am all for the free market. But any company that is growing or interested in growth will create the growth jobs to go along with it. I have worked for a few of them. So can anyone else.
