The President looked you dead in the eye and told you he "doesn't want to hear about affordability." This is what they voted for.

"And if black people could get loans, I'd be worried." Josh is brilliant. Give him as many shows as possible, please. He shows such an amazing combination of intellect, poise, empathy, and sense of humor that really can't be matched. Oh, and he can also just say when things are bad without being too corporate about it...hopefully, Paramount doesn't get their talons into him and start limiting his speech like they do to Jon and the rest.

When Trump said “we’re gonna be rich” he didn’t mean you average joe and sally.

Literally passing away before you pay off your home. Never actually owning anything...just borrowing it from some wealth-hoarders, and working your whole life in indentured servitude. The American Dream.
