Hey Biden, will you loosen up Land Use Planning, so builders could actually build homes?

The Dems and socialists (I repeat myself) are coming up with more and more plans to give money away...Amazing.

They should have all just embraced Yang’s 1000 bucks a month thing. If what you want to do is give people money, you at least have to give it to everyone. Why only people who are in a position to need or want to buy a house?

Yep. But I’d say 60 years ago

The stolen election by Kennedy started the slide.

It’s a $15K Tax Credit

Someone should tell Joe that his housing giveaway — like the student loan giveaway to which all the dems are now committed — is a regressive income transfer. The poor are not in the market to buy homes in the first place.

Hmm, Bernie is offering a bigger bribe, but Joe is probably offering a bribe to a greater number of people...

”In other news, the cost of the average house just went up by $15K.”

Beat me to it. More artificially conjured dollars chasing the same supply of houses. What could possibly go wrong?

That’s exactly what has happened to “higher education.” Third-party money in the form of grants and loans destroyed the natural market forces that would have counteracted the impulse to constantly raise tuition. Whether homes, or education, or anything else, we all would be far better off if product pricing had to react to what people can afford to pay out of their own pockets. That would naturally occur if we could only resist the impulse to have now what we cannot currently afford.

Brilliant thinking. Biden half-wit just raised the median price of the average home by $15,000. My goodness these people are stupid. You would have thought they learned after making $40,000 college degrees cost $120,000 after making college more affordable?

That’ll pay for just the closing costs.

IF any one of these wannabe Stalin Claus’s defeats POTUS Trump this November it will prove that a majority of our fellow Americans are beyond redemption and have no appreciation and thankfulness for the America we have all experienced throughout our lives

In California, Manhattan, and metro DC the cost of housing is so high that $15K is a rounding error....

Goes back a lot further than 1970.

Free ! Free! Free just means let the kids pay for it
Where’s the commercial or video showing a toddler happily playing suddenly being demanded to pay its thousands of dollars share of the national debt ? When the toddler breaks into screaming” HOW COULD THEY DO THIS TO ME ???” in tears ?

“Marxist planners 50 years ago.”

Yep, you are right. Even back to about 1918.

“You would have thought they learned XYZ [after all the failures].”

Ha! How little you know about the Democrats, marxists, etc. They are immune to cause and effect, empirical evidence, real-world results. If they paid attention to those things, they wouldn’t be Democrats.
