The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

pulte has a priority other than trump worship.
look for him to 'free' Fannie & Freddie in the name of natn'l security.


Pulte was also the one that floated the idea of the 50 year mortgage, so Proles could get farther in debt, to buy the McMansions that his company builds.

Didn't Trump the God say something about being against building cheap homes, because they might erode the value of the McMansions that Pulte builds?

Ah, here he is, talking about supporting home values, while promoting "affordability". The bottom line of his solution is by enabling Proles to go farther in debt. Trump's route is lower interest rates on mortgages, vs Pulte's approach of longer mortgage terms.

Trump pledges to make housing affordable while keeping values up

Ever since the US went "supply side" the solution to everything has been to get the Proles farther in debt.
