you mean like Europe and it's open borders?


You are talking about Korea and China


Also, immigration is been level for years, but don't believe the news, because its fake news and its slanted against Trump

Actually, in your example they come out ahead in home ownership because of the mortgage interest and real estate tax deductions, which will more than compensate for the extra $15 a month they are paying.

Edit: Your point is correct though.

Edit Edit: Until Trump ends those deductions, because **** the middle class!

I mean, the Chinese built a wall 2,000 years ago and that couldn't keep people out back then with all the cutting technology of 5th century BC at their disposal, but yeah, a 20 billion dollar wall is totally going to be effective at controlling illegal immigration (the majority of which is from Visa overstays).

Get out of here with your "facts" and **** when we're discussing a brilliant wall plan.

The "finally we can control our borders" thing is funny. Everyone wants to control the border, the sticking point is if we want mass deportations. That's what broke the immigration reform consensus.

This is wrong. The hypothetical couple will still take the standard deduction. The mortgage interest deduction is an upper middle class boondoggle. Most middle class homeowners don't itemize.

I can highly recommend having giant oceans around your country as an effective means of border control. Have you considered simply submerging Mexico?

BUILD THAT MOAT

I bump this because Trump made Mexico number 1 this week

We're still fighting a war, what are we rebuilding from?

It's pretty clear at this point trump doesn't understand what executive orders/actions do.

The house in this hypo was 160k and the mortgage had an interest rate of 4 percent. They'll be paying more a year in interest and real estate taxes on a mortgsge.that size than the standard deduction.

Brillant wall plan.

Left out state income taxes too which become deductible, obv. Add all three of those together and you are over the standard deduction.

Bump. Anyone got anything? Gorsuch?

After 100 days Clinton signed the Family and Medical Leave Act

After 100 days Bush W had the House pass a tax proposal, to slash income tax rates

After 100 days Obama had a stimulus bill passed, expanded health care for children, and lifted a federal ban on embryonic stem-cell research

source lol USA today

Trump hassled some minorities and started a trade war with a brilliant Canadian who went after Trump's core of support.

Before the end of Roosevelt's first 100 days, he had taken the nation off the gold standard, rescued the banking system and won passage of 15 major pieces of legislation, from Federal welfare programs to revisions in securities laws and enactment of the Civilian Conservation Corps, the Agricultural Adjustment Act and the Tennessee Valley Authority.

LOL

"The report was written by the White House’s Council of Economic Advisors, a group of three economists who were all handpicked by Obama, and it chronicles the alleged success of the “stimulus” in adding or saving jobs. The council reports that, using “mainstream estimates of economic multipliers for the effects of fiscal stimulus” (which it describes as a “natural way to estimate the effects of” the legislation), the “stimulus” has added or saved just under 2.4 million jobs — whether private or public — at a cost (to date) of $666 billion. That’s a cost to taxpayers of $278,000 per job.

In other words, the government could simply have cut a $100,000 check to everyone whose employment was allegedly made possible by the “stimulus,” and taxpayers would have come out $427 billion ahead. "

That is some really, really bad posting.

You liberals cry when no one cites a source and then cry when they do.

Cry

Are you really trying to argue Trump is a better president than Obama?

Serious question.

And more to the point we're here to celebrate the accomplishments of 45*.

is that because all the interest in the mortgage is front loaded towards the beginning of the 30 years?
