Tafiff plan -- minimal impact. We will likely see more companies onshore.
Deportation - minimum. We will likely deport a lot of bad actors, and slow the rate of illegals coming into the country.
Layoffs -- no big deal. They can take jobs in the private sector.

Perfect demonstration of the ignorance that engulfs MAGA.

Depends. Glad, once again, Republicans are focused on the things that are truly important and affect millions of us. Republican leaders are REALLY good at getting you guys worked up over stupid crap. They know their base.

my point is..the pushback is real

A first time homebuyer credit has typically raised prices by less than a percent to at most 2 percent. For exactly the reason I stated and you two fail to grasp: it’s a sliver of the market.

Concerns aside, academic research generally found that the various versions of the credit boosted home sales, and those studies that calculated a price change found only a modest impact. Dynan, Gayer, and Plotkin (2013) found that state-level downpayment assistance programs similar in design to federal programs boosted home sales by about 2 percentage points and raised prices by less than 1%—though the elevated prices persisted even after program expiration. Berger, Turner, and Zwick (2020) found that the credit increased home sales by about one-tenth (9.8%), while also raising prices—but typically by far less than the value of the credit.

How will first-time homebuyer assistance affect housing markets?

A first-time homebuyer assistance program may help families make a downpayment, but it will also have ripple effects throughout the economy.

It's a question of scale,.. The volume of first time home buyer money associated with the Harris proposal will undoubtedly drive up home prices,.. Sellers will love it.

Evidence: We have a meta study of local and state data that shows home prices barely move up, while increasing home ownership by nearly ten percent, and hence build wealth for many young families.

MAGA: Home prices are going to skyrocket! OMG! It’s going to be soooo bad!!!!
