Even if there is a plague in Russia that spreads to the US, we’d never be told the truth until it’s way too late. “If we stop testing right now, we’d have very few numbers, if any” comes to mind. This admin is getting KO’d by measles. I don’t even want to think about what they’d do in a pandemic 2.0

From 2012 to 2016 (under Obama), home mortgage rates ranged from about 3.7% to 4%. Using a mid-point of 3.85%, that means a family that could afford a $2,000 monthly payment could buy a $534,000 home assuming a 30-year loand and 20% down. Under Trump, that family can only afford a $363,000 home.
