Probably worth noting that homes are owned by old people, and the old people are in control of the government, making policy that is self serving to the grest detriment of younger Americans. For example social security will end in about 10-15 years, after those old people like Mitch McConnel have gone to bed. Meanwhile the youngsters are paying huge sums into the ponzi scheme, and the cost to service US debt remains an unsolved problem. There was a good Ted talk recently by Scott Galloway highlighting just how badly the youth are getting screwed. I disagree with most all of his proferred solutions but he did a great job of describing the issue.
