Democrats have been in office for the last 12 of 16 years and the age of first time home buyers has gone up 10 years, to the average age of 40 now

The economy was broken way before trump took office.

He's literally against regulating the housing market. He ain't fixing that shit. Also, the large corpos he's giving tax breaks to are causing that. Soooo make it make sense.

Because trump office is the result of these policies that made home ownership impossible. It's directly related.

So your solution is to just make everything more expensive for the average person for absolutely no reason whatsoever? What kind of fucking logic is that

u/Krisevol Mar 03 '25

Your logic is keep going to first time home buyers are age 60. What kinda is logic is that?

u/ReturnOfDaSnack420 Mar 03 '25

You do realize that homes are built out of things yes? Things that would become more expensive once they are tariffed? Which would make a new house even more expensive and even more out of reach for the average first-time buyer?

Homes are expensive because of shitty nimby laws restricting supply against demand alongside a whole host of complicated issues, and doing the world's stupidest most self-destructive economic tactic isn't going to do anything to fix that

And doing what we have been doing won't make it better either. The Democrats have failed us, as every party that fueled the government though debt has.
