What are the thoughts on the socialist move to send out 2000 checks to middle and low income families by trump? dividends. I am sure he isn't lying of course, so is it a good plan to redistribute the wealth?

What about the 50 year mortgage? anyone happy with that??? ???

I think the $2,000 rebate is a bad idea. They should just pay off our debts instead.

As for 50-year mortgages, I don’t have strong feelings one way or the other. That’s a choice between the borrower and the bank. I know 15 and 30 year options already exist. What bothers me more is the broader pattern. Many people buy homes they can’t truly afford just to keep up with the Joneses. A longer mortgage only enables more debt. And I’m skeptical that a home is a good “investment,” and I say that as a homeowner.

I am not a fan of either, but if I can understand why folks in a different financial situation would feel differently.

I would view the 2k as a tax rebate for being over taxed, personally.  But others who don't pay as much taxes, it's just a gov't handout.  I think Trump has to move away from this stuff and pay down the debt.  Either way, he shouldn't say it until it's a go.

For the mortgage, it's hiding the growing problem of homes being too expensive for first time buyers.  Only way it can benefit would be to take one, but pay principal down faster if you can.  One of the big issues is contractors don't build starter homes much anymore, as it's not as lucrative.

Hahahahahhaahaha.

What about Trumpy's proposal for a universal healthcare system to be put in place?  All this winning sure seems like socialism for the MAGAtards.  But they keep quiet about it selectively.
