A 50 year mortgage is basically an interest only loan. AKA rent.

The median age of first time home buyers is 40

The US lifespan is 78
Buying a $1M home with 20% down and a 50-year fixed mortgage at 6%?

Your loan is $800k.
Your monthly payment is ~$4,317.

After 30 years you’ll have paid $1.55M but only $201k of that is principal.

You’d still owe about $599k.

50-year mortgages barely touch the principal for decades.

While Trump murders people on boats for supposedly trafficking drugs, Jonathan Braun, a convicted drug trafficker serving a 10 year sentence he pardoned in 2021, will be sentenced in court today after he sexually assaulted a woman after Trump freed him from prison.

There was a time when 90% of Americans would have understood how deranged in every conceivable way a post like this is

I mean if you showed this to any American in 2001 they wouldn't even understand what they were looking at or what sort of deranged creature could possibly speak like this in public

Democrats were overwhelmingly united on their shutdown demands.

Americans understood that Trump and Republicans were to blame.

Voters made it known last Tuesday that they'll elect leaders who stand up to Trump.

Democrats held the cards — and folded for no reason.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.
