Food, fuel, medical, other services and goods costs weren’t as expensive either, that is what people see daily, not mortgages.
I beg your pardon, but mortgages are paid every single month and THAT is certainly part of the budget, too. No matte how much you whine about it, overall things are going great. Housing costs are down and employment is up. Things are NOT as bad as you would like people to believe.
How did they all get higher?
And, more importantly, how does government make them all lower?
