Home sales in April fell, as consumers faced high house prices and growing concern over the economy and employment.
“Home sales have been at 75% of normal or pre-pandemic activity for the past three years, even with seven million jobs added to the economy,” said Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist.
The median price of an existing home sold in April was $414,000, an increase of just 1.8% year over year.
A Freudian slip, also known as a parapraxis, is an unintentional error in speech, memory, or action that’s believed to reveal unconscious thoughts, desires, or feelings. Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis, proposed that these slips are not random but rather a window into the unconscious mind.
Do you really believe that? Seriously? Stats, numbers, polls etc. are a powerful tool to manipulate.
For example.
I am going provide a progressive tax break.
1% for the ultra rich
10% percent for the upper middle class
75% for the lower middle class.
Sounds awesome!! Right? Let’s go! This will truly benefit lower middle class Americans!
But wait, let a liberal get a hold of these numbers.
1% for the rich could be millions.
75% for the lower middle could be 10s of thousands.
The liberals will push this as a massive tax cut for the rich though it was only 1%.
When in reality, the 75% cut for the lower middle makes all the difference.
This is how you manipulate numbers. How do I know? This is exactly what they did to Trump’s last tax cut you enjoy today. Trust!
Yes, I do. Until it’s proven that they purposely put out false information in an attempt to dupe their audience, like Fox News did, I’ll continue to believe them.
You mean like the Russian collusion hoax? Or the “safe and Effective” clotshot scam? Or the masks? Or the six feet apart BS? Or Hunter’s laptop being “Russian disinformation”??
Here is a synopsis of Trumps One Big Beautiful Bill. I have yet to see how the low wage earners and middle class will benefit other than the rich.
Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” is a sweeping tax and economic policy proposal that aims to extend and expand provisions from his 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Here are some key points regarding its potential impact on middle-class workers:
Tax Relief for Workers: The bill makes Trump’s 2017 tax cuts permanent and introduces new provisions like no taxes on tips, overtime pay, and auto loan interest. These measures are designed to put more money in workers’ pockets.
Child Tax Credit Expansion: The child tax credit would increase to $2,500 per child through 2028, then drop to $2,000 but be indexed to inflation. This could provide significant relief for families.
Overtime and Tip Tax Exemptions: Workers in service industries and those working overtime would benefit from tax-free tips and overtime wages, potentially increasing take-home pay.
MAGA Savings Accounts: Parents of children under 8 years old would receive $1,000 per child to invest in a “MAGA” savings account for future financial growth.
Car Loan Interest Deduction: Temporary deductions of up to $10,000 in car loan interest for those purchasing American-made vehicles.
Job Growth and Wage Increases: The bill claims it will boost take-home pay by up to $11,600 and create 7.4 million jobs, including 1.1 million manufacturing jobs.
However, there are concerns about the bill’s broader effects:
Cuts to Social Programs: Medicaid and SNAP (food stamps) face major funding reductions, potentially affecting millions of low-income Americans.
Disproportionate Benefits: While middle-class workers receive tax breaks, higher-income earners stand to gain the most from the bill.
Deficit Impact: The bill could add trillions to the national debt, raising concerns about long-term economic stability.
Wow, thanks Marcel. This might actually help the working people of America.

So what do you propose? Boost social benefits and degrade the working class take home pay?
Have you found a way to have the best of both worlds? Taxing the rich ain’t gonna do it. They will leave. (ask NY) or you could just arrest them and take it I suppose.
