What is Bidenomics? Is Bidenomics a real thing? The U.S. economy is in crisis. Inflation is soaring. Mortgage rates have tripled from its low a few years ago from 2.5% to 7.5%. Home prices have doubled in many parts of the country and its not if we are going to have a housing bubble but when. Unemployment numbers came out last Friday and just skyrocketed from 3.2% to 4.3%. Many people cannot keep up with inflation. The economic data and numbers being released are lies. The inflation rate is NOT 3%. Look at the prices of goods and services when you go shopping. Most consumers see prices of goods and services are 100% to 500% higher than what it used to be. NOT 3% to 4%. Look around you. Look at how many people are out of work. Again, LIES, LIES, LIES. 4.3%? I don’t think so. The Dow Jones Industrial Average should NOT be at 40,000. The Federal Reserve Board is printing money like it is going out of style. Is Kamala Harris that much of an IDIOT? I think so. Kamala Harris is going around touting and bragging about Bidenomics and that Bidenomics is here to stay. Joe Biden is going around bragging that he made the economy of the United States through Biden Economics. So what is Bidenomics and what makes Biden Economics so GREAT? What is the difference between Reaganomics and Bidenomics? Why is the least popular politicians, Kamala Harris, going around and running on Bidenomics and how great Joe Biden was as President of the United States. Does Harris realize that Joe Biden stands to be the worst President in the History of the United States, making him worse than Jimmy Carter? So, can you please explain in detail what Bidenomics is so we, the American people, can understand?

The housing market forecast looks gloomy. With the average home prices up 100% since 2019 with rates at 7.5% and inflation at historic highs, homebuyers are perplexed as to buying a house now or later. Besides all the above, homeowners insurance is up as 500% and property taxes are skyrocketing.

In the 2024 election cycle, ex-President Donald Trump chose J.D. Vance, a senator from Ohio, to serve as his running mate. With this announcement now complete, the Republican ticket for President includes:
- Vance in recognition of his Marine Corps and business record.
- Strong backing for Trump over the past few years.
- Being an outside-the-beltway populist.
Once a vocal opponent of Trump’s candidacy during the 2016 primaries (The Hill) , Vance’s subsequent about-face made him one of the then-president’s most stalwart defenders throughout various legal battles. According to the News Team at GCA FORUMS, this pick is projected to generate even more enthusiasm around Trump’s campaign.

Can you please explain in detail what is the NAR Settlement for 2024? How will the NAR Settlement affect realtors? What is the ruling against the National Realtors Association? Who is going to benefit and receive money from the NAR settlement? Walk me Through August 17th, Buyers Now Pay Their Realtor’s Commissions. I started reading more into the August 17th 2024 date where suddenly homebuyers now pay the buyer real estate agent. Home sellers are only responsible to pay their seller real estate agent. As someone who plans to be both a seller and a buyer sometime in the near future, I am interested in both sides of this. This is really complicated and many real estate agents think they will be out of business. Maybe there are no real answers yet, but I want to hear other’s thoughts.
