Such an idea! The average age of a first time home buyer in America has rise to 40 (from 26 in 1980) and with the end of subsidized health insurance in 2026 people will die well before they can ever pay off Trump's new 50 year mortgages! Win win win HOT HOT HOT, right?
White House officials are furious with Bill Pulte, the Federal Housing Finance Agency director, who talked Trump into suggesting a 50-year mortgage plan.
The White House was blindsided by the idea and is now dealing with a furious backlash from conservative allies, business leaders and lawmakers.
