There needs to be cuts. But it never.. fucking happens. Ever.

Maybe $100b off here and there, but look at the charts, it's up and up. They cut social spending, it'll go to ICE (Ok I guess). I'm pro-military too, and obviously cut the gun shit, ,that's just been the dumbest nonsense forever but shouldn't cost anything. In fact getting SBR's and suppressors off NFA will only help the economy.

The only thing that has kept debt to GDP ratio is building the GDP more than debt. Without that ratio, it's getting bad. Rush Limbaugh used to say long ago that the national debt wasn't that bad, it was like someone with a 150k mortgage. Well it's getting to the point of a $500k mortgage on a $100k income. Not good. A few poins changes in the interest rates aren't going to change things much either.
Thing thing is....the US could survives a default if it really came too it.

The US CAN NOT survive 100 million turd worlders coming and bring their unique shitty culture, IQ, and demographics. Getting them out (legal and illegal) is the highest priority.
 
Prices will never go down so long as demand doesn't, which would require less people to generate it. Since immigration artificially pumps pop numbers, the state creates demand in perpetuity. A lot of countries in the West aren't at replacement rate levels in terms of births, so in theory there might have been a situation in the present day where demand was much lower and the supply was more abundant, keeping housing prices more tolerable. There was a big issue in my country where the current party in charge wants to build 1.5 million houses, but current immigration figures are 700k+ a year, which means by the end of their term the population would've already been inflated by the excess of people coming in. Lower those numbers, actively deport people, and then the perceived market demand for housing will go down. In theory.
The problem is there is immigration on two fronts in the US. Immigration from liberal states. You literally can't stop that. And illegals. You can deport those, but you're back at square one once the libtards keep coming. Housing is all we can do in the long term.

I agree on the latter, but there can't be any 'default'. It's impossible. They can and have printed $trillions and trillions and could do another $200 Trillion literally. That's entirely all they can do and just make the debt less 'worth' but also the cash everyone has.

That's all they've done forever, so it's the same ol' when it comes to massive debt. Just move the demimal and commas to to the right per decade.

There is no 'upper bound' or fixed amount of $USD. It's flexible and vapor, comes and goes with the whims of the economy, moods, and policy in general. It's like saying you'd run out of angels on a pinhead. Money isn't 'real'. Real is indeed things like aliens in the country and that's the democrat party's focus now/
 
Houses are not built on supply and demand anymore. They are built on infinite economic growth since 2008. Real Estate investors would rather sit on unsold houses then sell at a loss.
And Trump is saying fuck that, we're opening land up specifically for housing and development.

One of the reasons private equity firms invest so heavily into real estate is because it's one of the most consistent assets you can own since the value perpetually increasing so long as the population is. There's the vein of perpetual growth in there but it's also one of the safest assets you can hold. When you put money into an ISA, such as with Vanguard, there's no guarantee that you'll only see your deposit grow. In contrast, save for the property value being lowered by external factors or neglect, a house will only ever go up in value. It was the case before the 2008 financial crisis, and it's still the case after.

But what was the end goal? To prove that monkeys hate fake monkeys and prefer something similar to themselves? To prove racism is a thing?
It's along the same lines as the experiments they did depriving human babies of human touch. Half the babies died because they needed more than just nutrition. In the case of the monkeys they were seeing if they could get a monkey to treat the "wire mom" which feeds them as a real mother or if they would prefer the softer but non-feeding mother to see if monkeys, like humans, need more than just nutrition.
 
There needs to be cuts. But it never.. fucking happens. Ever.
The bulk of the budget is in medicaid, Medicare, and other welfare shit good luck cutting that and getting out alive.
But you know another way to cut it? Deporting illegals who steal it through identity fraud, rotting out schemes to steal it through fraud and abuse, and improving the health of the country (to decrease medical spending), and adding work requirements all of which this administration is doing.

no investor or group of investors has anywhere near the amount of market power that would be necessary to dictate price developments that go against fundamental market forces.
the housing market situation is very clear: state sponsored mass immigration inflates housing demand. but housing construction is not an industry that can scale up production at will - land to build on is finite and limited by zoning laws along with various other rules and regulations. in this sector, supply is very static.
so we have a very fast increase in demand, and a very slow increase in supply. when demand outpaces supply, prices rise. that's macroeconomics 101, and it's exactly what we have seen IRL.
 
What’s everyone’s thoughts on BBB?

While it’s nice that Trump got his no tax on tips and there’s money for ICE and sure: You have to make compromises, but I can’t help but think that it’s another pork filled disaster.

ONE TRILLION DOLLAR pentagon budget.
Few DOGE cuts.
BORROW MORE! What’s an extra five trillion borrowed money between friends?
There are things I like and things I do not.

I am 100% behind no tax on tips or overtime. I neither get tips nor do I have any chance for overtime but there was a time for both of those things in my life and nothing was more crushing than trying to get ahead by working a bunch of extra hours only to see the government reach in my pocket.

I believe the Trump tax cuts are made permanent through it which is very important.

The spending...is....not good but at least it is not being spent on trans monkey stomping.

I think the tips and overtime changes will really improve things for a lot of people.

You need to build more houses than new people arriving at a bare minimum. Do do this Trump will need to vastly reduce legal immigration alongside more properties. This isn't like a black pill thing, just that if you want cheaper houses in the US's future, you can't just focus on illegals.

Bruh. Even then, not enough. 500k starting is not reasonable in the slightest.
You should know she was trying to find housing in New England so she and her real estate agent were autistically looking for something that was reasonably priced. The house prices are plummeting and they will continue to plummet. That's a good thing. The boomers are having their wealth diminished for their greed.

Yes, it's always been that way. The bulk is social spending in t he USA. The biggest joke is they take the social security entitlments and try to seperate them, while at the same time using that income to go into the rest of the joke budget.

Economics in general, Soviet, USA, whatever when it gets big, is a laughing stock of nonsense that will last a long time, maybe a very long time. But it's all a house of cards like in the 1920s, any major shock could be the end. But also, nothing at all could make people hugely rich like crpyto in places. It's all a game that does encourage most people to work and produce for below their value which pumps up the system.

And those that work below value are the deserved suckers, that's one thing Marx got wrong. They do it and aren't slaves.

That's why it drives me nuts when people bitch about .5% of the budget going to NASA which is actually a good thing, while over 50% goes to boomers gambling or niggers using it on weed and crack.

I'm talking about Utah's prices. I see New England is little better.

We can build more houses. We need more land and looser regulations.

I agree, there need to be cuts, but until we can have a serious, adult conversation, as a country, about entitlements we're never getting serious reform of those. This is one of Democratic systems biggest issues, once the average person discovers they can vote themselves money, that's what they'll do and any politician that votes to seriously cut those entitlements is ending his career. Now, if we can start getting the illegals and shouldn't be here types out in large numbers, then maybe we can get some space to talk about cutting things by pointing out that we don't need as much since the illegals were taking it. Maybe. The other alternative is a Caesar whole who will dictate cuts, but I don't know if America is there yet. May have to wait until the Boomers gracelessly expire.
 
There is no nuance in my argument, buddy
I’m no Muslim appreciator and if you look up, for example, my last post on the RIP thread you’ll see you and I are absolutely in sync when it comes to expelling Muslims from western nations.
I’m just saying that modern-day Muslim hatred of the West didn’t come out of nowhere and America’s Middle East fuckery and irrational defense of Israel are a huge contributing factor to why Muslims are durka-durking all over the West.
You should also be focusing on the Jewish-driven Kalergi plan and globalist neocon/‘arab spring’ bullshit that puts the Muslims in your backyard to begin with. You’re mad at the symptom and ignoring the cause.

Not if this continues to happen.

I suppose decreasing permit costs might allow for more new constructions to start. Although one of the main issues with trying to lower housing prices is you may see a knock-on effect in the same vein as increasing fuel prices.

Lower demand for houses by slowing rate of population growth (immigration) -> lower prices -> less worth in starting new constructions to make a profit on sale -> see fewer houses anyway and thus no price decrease + construction companies get less work. But the blackpilled sentiment is to not even try in the first place, so it's worth a go if it means more Americans are able to afford their own home in the future.
