Vice President Harris Announces Economic Agenda

[Account Closed]

Vice President Harris is expected to announce her plans at a rally on Friday. According to Forbes, it will focus on creating more affordable housing. Some of the finer points that I can see are $25,000 in down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers, 3 million new housing units within the next four years, tax credits for developers who build starter homes, investing $40 million in an innovation fund to tackle the housing crisis, and expanding a tax credit for housing developers who build affordable housing rental units.

Forbes also says she wants Congress to crack down on "predatory investors" who buy up rental homes and collude with each other to raise rental prices.

Just sharing this because there's obvious impacts on the housing market if this all takes effect.

I wish Vegas would carry betting lines for candidate agendas. This would have a 1,000,000 - 1 odds of actually passing.

This is not a political post supporting one candidate or the other - just noting I see zero chances of this ever getting passed

Ps it should read: taxpayers will fund $25,000 to first time homebuyers
