Yes, I'm that one.

Just a former evil banker with a twisted sense of humor who has a secret identity as a normal person.

Every reporter or financial analyst writing about the 'math' of a 50-year mortgage better include what the **actual** cost is to the borrower over time. It is a fucking joke. Show the full amortization schedule and how much one really ends up paying!!

LOL LOL LOL The Republicans have already given the Democrats a big FUCK YOU, and the vote isn't even final yet.

Fuck Chuck Schumer and his Cavers.

While the deal will likely pass its first procedural hurdle, it will still need a final cloture vote in the Senate, and will also need to win House approval; the entire process could last several more days. So far, House Speaker Mike Johnson has said he will not commit to a vote on extending the healthcare subsidies, and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York said Sunday night he would fight the bill.

You can do the math here and see just how awful this would be.

www.mortgagecalculator.org
A $400,000 valued home with a $320,000 50 year mortgage at 5.98% Will have paid $687,860.46 in interest if paid over the 50 years. Worst financial decision anyone can ever make.
