She isn’t a natural born citizen. She cannot run for president. Someone please tell them that. We don’t want anchor babies for presidents.

The taxpayers will reimburse the banks. What’s the problem?

So as a voter, your job is to ask:

1) WHY is Harris making this policy suggestion? Because she is coming from a false mindset that black folks don’t have the opportunity to buy a house.

2) Does she understand its problems? If not, that should be a concern. She has no clue about housing or mortgage policy, or the implications of what some advisor told her to do with this proposal.

3) Does she understand the link to the mortgage crisis? If not, that should be a concern. Again, she is clueless about what caused the mortgage crisis, and is clueless about the long term impacts of her own policy.

4) Is she simply pandering to the target audience? If so, does that matter to you? Yes she is pandering to blacks and liberal types who think that American is a racist/sexist/bigoted nation.

She is a vulgar whore of a woman, clearly willing to say or do anything for power. Manipulative, deceitful, and amoral, she is the perfect democrat.

She can’t remember the last one she had her head buried someplace

Since their “New” home is more costly than they can afford they must let maintenance and upkeep slide so in effect the government will be subsidizing the building of more slums, fostering more crime and voila..another Detroit or Chicago catastrophe. Expanding the socialist plantation.

A 4% mortgage results in a $763 monthly mortgage payment.

For a "poor" person, that's a big monthly payment, even if it includes insurance and taxes (does it?). A lot of poor folk qualify for the no-down-payment/closing costs from some HUD program (my sister did that).

I can see why one would want as expensive a house as they can get, but people really need to be realistic as to what they can afford going forward.

Let’s see. The last time the Democrats in power gave houses to people that couldn’t even afford down payments the result was a financial crisis (Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac). Guess they haven’t learned from history (which they are trying to destroy) have they?

Educated readers know the answer.

Unfortunately there aren't enough of those to determine the outcome of elections anymore. I'm afraid I am going to live to see many, many bad ideas become reality.

Just when we defeated one bitch running for president another shows up.

To paraphrase Elton John, "The Next Bitch Is Back".

Kamaltoe is no different from any other clueless, dangerous leftist.

They learn nothing from the past, and continue to follow the same failed playbook.

She remembers well. After the last crash, the USA turned to socialism.

It’s not the the Dems haven’t learned from history, it’s that they hope everyone else hasn’t learned from history. Normally, we simply call this dishonesty. In NewSpeak, we call this “fairness”.

They are all seeking the perfect storm of circumstances and Santa Claus promises that will draw enough of their voters off the couch and out to the polls to overwhelm us.

Perish the thought. There is no appetite from the elites and power brokers to challenge a non-white who wants to run for POTUS.

That was made quite clear in two terms for the ‘ineligible one’.

Bad housing loans so the poor could afford a house, that did it. They were called “liar loans”. It looked like mortgage appraisers were corrupt. One entered my home and said simply”How much do you want to borrow? (We sent her away.)

The more houses that are bought, the higher the demand, and prices will rise, benefitting everyone.

Real estate inflation doesn't help everyone. Why would you want to give the municipality a free raise for paving the same number of streets? If you change houses, the one you're buying will have appreciated by the same amount so the inflation doesn't help or hurt you, but the inflated commission still has to be paid in real money. People don't want cars to get more expensive just because they own one.

Not everyone is meant to be a homeowner. How about addressing regulations that have caused the rental market to be priced out of range for many? And the answer to the problem is not more Section 8 units.

And I believe that lousy hostile disgusting living conditions drive up rent rates. Why because the only people who want to be in such places are those who know they can go to their “fortresses” and escape that day to day horror. The ultra rich. The poor can’t leave. When they can the middle class flees. That means those that are left drive up the price of available rentals and sales. JMHO.
