Ah well, it's only a matter of time now until the entire executive branch just tells the judiciary to fuck off entirely. I can't wait to watch a bunch of fruitbags in robes (who are mostly afraid of guns) try to enforce their absurd orders amid a hostile public that hates them as much as the executive does.
Don't you know that you know the world as it was is how it always shall be, it's the end of history. Nothing always happens and all that doom.
 
Better do nothing then.
Yes. In this case and context, yes. The harm outweighs the benefit. This is a reasonable take for anyone who has a basic grasp of how mortgages work beyond "muh monthly paymunt"

Find another way to improve the housing economy than turning people into lifelong renters without the benefits of a landlord to fix shit.

I don't see why having the option is a bad thing. Some people will make mistakes. Some will not. You can't bubble wrap the world. You just have to let it be.
 
Trump has no solutions for the domestic problems we face. He's not going to bother leftoids over shooting their enemies. He's not going to stop the jeet-chink flood. He's not going to mass deport the construction workers. He is mostly interested in how to start a war with Venezuela as fast as possible so he can go in the history books as the President who won an oil war. Sad. Probably nobody can really fix our domestic problems. Have a fifty year mortgage, you probably don't have a fifty year country anyway so who cares.
You are literally wrong on every single point here. Laughably so. You are becoming fatpacks.
 
The average entry-level office job requires zero skills that would need to be backed up by a college degree. Tons of people have jobs completely unrelated to whatever bullshit degree they were conned into getting, that they were only able to get hired for BECAUSE their unrelated bullshit degree checked off a box. Like the other guy said, just do an interview and a basic proficiency test for the most important skills of the job.
My first engineering job didn't originally require a degree. It did require some training and brains, but the company used to provide the training and tested to make sure you had the brains. A lot of engineers got their start in that position just out of high school. Those that were good got to go to college on the companies dime.
That was the right way to do it, way better than sending kids straight to college for an expensive degree without knowing if they even like the work or have aptitude for it. Most jobs used to have aptitude tests to get employed and trial periods where you and the employer decided if it was a good fit.

You technically already have the option. Generally inflation dictates an interest rate such that its effectively identical to a 30 year so its not normally offered. The disturbing element here is trump seems dead set on making this his solution to the housing crisis, which is definitely not going to work and is mainly just a pain free way to 'do something about it'

I'm willing to bet he knows he can't do anything about it without crashing the economy by letting the housing prices settle. He doesn't want that on his watch, obviously.
