Buying a home is harder than ever before. Young people are waiting longer and longer. What does that mean for our economy? Wage growth is being outpaced by housing costs, so where are we really? Oh by the way, cars and healthcare and other costs are expensive too! The data is skewed by Covid, so what is really going on? Are the next generation potential homebuyers really all that worse off or are they culturally different, with different values? And what is going on with DOGE—does government spending cuts hurt the economy? What are the states doing? What are the numbers, not the prognosticators, saying? Prognosticators talk about inflation so often, it may lead you to ask, “Is anything disinflationary (and is that good)?” Where are we at with the unemployment number and is that a reliable number?
