The Biden Administration’s robust and durable track record on jobs and unemployment is breaking records, putting up some of the best results we’ve seen in half a century.

    since house prices are through the roof

    Yeah turns out when the GOP gives gigantic tax cuts to the wealthy it inflates the real estate market because they buy extra houses they don’t even live in.

      I agree the $2T tax cuts for the rich and corporations was bad, and so was Biden’s choice to only rollback less than half of it despite promising to undo it all on day one. Why corporations aren’t paying at least 50% of their profits in taxes is beyond me. Still, that’s only a part of this particular problem.

      Refusal or inability to invest in new home building programs to increase supply, corporations like Blackstone buying up entire neighborhoods to rent seek and price gouge, and thinly veiled money laundering via foreign nationals buying American real estate in cash, are all big contributors as well.
