Nasdaq has dropped over 20% in the last four months...S&P down 17% over the same period...DJIA 14%

How much more damage will Democrats and the Fed do to our economy before they finally back down? Fund the wall and cancel the rate increases already!

Economy started dipping well before Dems took over.

Hope the housing market goes too. I need a new house.

Good luck finding reasonable financing if the Fed insists that a 3.25% Funds rate is acceptable during a tightening market.

Loans are for chumps. Unless it's an investment in yourself like education, why the fuck is anyone paying 3x the face value of a house over 30 years?

Save and live frugally for 10-years so you can buy it all up front. It'll save you money in the long run.

Lots of people pay for houses all up front.

as for the shutdown... Trump had agreed to a deal, the senate passed it easy, some went home... then Trump watched TV & saw people criticizing him & changed his mind

if he hadn't agreed originally, they wouldn't have gone home & could've started negotiating days earlier

I guess baby Trump needs even more Fox News personnel in his administration so he can find out what he's supposed to do sooner

Fucking amen, it is ridiculous in Sweden atm even though there are some signs of stagnation. Unless you already own a house you will be taking a massive risk entering since the rates are 0 and prices insane. But even if unemployment goes up, the problem here is too little is being built. You have to stand in que for 20 years to get a rental appartment in Stockholm as an indicator.

Nimatzo. There will be even less built since the M and KD removed the Government Investment Support for cheap rental apartments from their napkin sketch of a budget.

If developers are not building enough residential units for Swedes to live in, then they are probably not doing so because it would be uneconomical for them. This suggests that Sweden's regulatory environment is too restrictive. Sweden should eliminate many regulations from its books and enable developers to build with fewer restrictions in place.

Alternatively, Sweden could stop importing more brown people into the country. Immigrants probably take up a whole bunch of units that would otherwise be available for good, hardworking Swedes. Plus if you stop importing brown people, your crime rates will go way down. How great would it be to live in a nice unit in Malmo and not have to worry about getting beaten up by a bunch of immigrants?

But then who would gang rape the swedish women?

Hmm, good point. For the average Swedish man, there is little point in living if he can't watch his women get ruined by Arab rape gangs.
