In this episode, Elaine Parker and Eric Eggers break down the real causes behind America’s worsening housing crisis and debate the controversial push for 50-year mortgages as a solution. They explore the historical roots of the affordability problem, how environmental and zoning regulations restrict new housing supply, and why a growing number of Americans now view long-term debt and delayed homeownership as normal. The discussion also tackles the impact of immigration, regulatory barriers, and entrenched special interests on rising home prices. Elaine and Eric go deeper into the economic consequences of sky-high housing costs and highlight innovative policy ideas that could expand access to homeownership for working families. If you’re looking to understand the future of the housing market, the debate over mortgage reform, or how the U.S. can rebuild a path to the American Dream, this episode offers a clear and compelling breakdown.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When you sell a home, the profit you make is taxed. It's called the capital gains tax. You can exclude a portion of that profit from taxes – up to $250,000 for a single person or $500,000 for a married couple. Some housing experts and politicians think changing the capital gains tax on home sales could motivate more homeowners to sell, and open up homes amid a national housing shortage. WUWM's series, Seeking Solutions: Keys to Homeownership, examines barriers to home buying and possible solutions. WUWM's Race & Ethnicity Reporter Teran Powell speaks with UW-Madison professor of Urban Planning, Kurt Paulsen, to learn more about the capital gains tax and how reforming it could affect housing in Wisconsin.

Is Trump's new proposed 50-year mortgage just savvy economics… or a dangerous move that will cripple American families for generations? In this episode, Steven and Mark break down Trump's most talked-about financial ideas — from extended mortgages to 15-year car loans — and evaluate them through a biblical lens of stewardship, debt, and generational impact. But we don't stop at economics. We also examine Trump's own words about faith, repentance, and salvation to ask an honest question: What does he actually believe about God? Not what pundits say. Not what the media spins. What he says. In his own words. By the end, you'll have a clear, biblical framework for evaluating both a leader's money philosophy and their spiritual claims — without falling for hype, fear, or personality cults. If you want to lead your home with discernment in a chaotic election season… this one's for you. About Abraham's Wallet: Abraham's Wallet exists to inspire and equip Biblical family leaders.

It's difficult for many people to buy a home in Milwaukee, even if they have a stable job. WUWM is examining the systemic problems that contribute to this challenge – and some potential solutions – in our series called “Seeking Solutions: Keys to Homeownership.” Today, we look at how redlining has created barriers to homeownership for people of color. Redlining was a discriminatory practice that labeled homes in Black and brown communities as too risky for loans. WUWM's Eddie Morales spoke with Dr. Kirk Harris. Harris is a UW-Milwaukee professor and director of the Center for Equity Practice and Planning Justice.

Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan's legal team considers whether to go to trial or take a plea deal. How redlining affects access to homeownership today. The changing market of Christmas trees, and how sellers are adapting.

Nick & Dan discuss the benefits of owning a home, both financial (building equity, fixed mortgage payments, tax advantages) and emotional (stability, freedom, community), while acknowledging affordability challenges. They introduce the episode's focus: a step-by-step guide to buying your first home, including building a "power team" of professionals and using tools like the First Home Savings Account. Homeownership builds equity and wealth over time, unlike rent, while offering predictable costs through fixed-rate mortgages and potential tax benefits. Beyond finances, owning a home provides stability, freedom to personalize your space, pride in achievement, stronger community connections, and freedom from landlord-related frustrations.

When the dream of buying a home seems unattainable, is it time to find a new dream? Or is there another option on the table?Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, or the FHFA, said the administration is “working on” a plan to introduce 50 year mortgage terms for homebuyers. But some Americans have already been working on their own plans towards homeownership… and it's not the ‘nuclear family' route. Brittany is joined by NPR chief economics correspondent Scott Horsley and NPR producer & author of The Other Significant Others: Reimaging Life with Friendship at the Center, Rhaina Cohen to get into the cult of homeownership in America. Together they search for a new outlook of what ‘adulthood' looks like.Follow Brittany Luse on Instagram: @bmluseFor handpicked podcast recommendations every week, subscribe to NPR's Pod Club newsletter at npr.org/podclub.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Gen Z is screaming that the American Dream is de@d — and the numbers look brutal: only ~10% of 30-year-olds today own a home AND are married compared to over 50% in the 1960s. BlackRock & private equity are buying up houses with cash, 50-year mortgages are being floated, and the rage at “greedy boomers” is everywhere. But is it really the boomers' fault? Is corporate home-buying the real villain? Should we ban corporations from owning single-family homes? Deport illegals to free up housing? Or is the hard truth that Gen Z needs to hear something totally different? Then the conversation gets even spicier: Matt Walsh says “America ONLY,” not just America First — no more money to Israel, Ukraine, or anyone else. Is that real nationalism… or an isolationist trap that only benefits China and Russia? Monique, Krista and Kevin go deep (with receipts) on:

Summary this episode of the Be a Smarter Homeowner podcast, hosts Elizabeth Dodson and John Bodrozic discuss the essential steps for first-time homeowners. They cover the importance of understanding how to operate and maintain a home, the significance of regular maintenance, and how to prioritize home projects based on inspections. The conversation also delves into budgeting for homeownership, including the total cost of ownership and the balance between DIY projects and hiring professionals. The hosts emphasize the need for preparation and awareness to navigate the complexities of homeownership successfully. Takeaways Homeownership is a journey that requires understanding and preparation. Knowing how your home operates is crucial for effective management. Regular maintenance can prevent costly repairs in the future. Creating a maintenance calendar helps keep track of necessary tasks. Prioritizing projects based on inspections can save time and money. Understanding the total cost of ownership is essential for budgeting. DIY projects can save money but require time and effort.

Hour 1 of Rush to Reason packs a punch from start to finish. John Rush kicks things off with Dave from Veteran Windows and Doors (https://www.veteranwindowsdoors.com), pulling back the curtain on the truth about home efficiency. Are your “new” windows really saving you money, or are they quietly draining your wallet? Dave exposes what builders and sales reps don't tell you — from energy codes to hidden heat loss — and how to truly get the quality you pay for. Then, John pivots from home upgrades to political reality. What really caused Colorado's GOP setbacks, and who's to blame? With his trademark boldness, he calls out hypocrisy, “RINO Watch” drama, and warns that real change demands strategy, not outrage. Finally, Patrick Mueller from Bella Advisors (https://bellaadvisors.com) joins to dissect government spending, economic turbulence, and the explosive rise of AI. Could automation reshape entire industries — or even wipe out white-collar jobs? From Washington's gridlock to America's changing workforce, John and Patrick lay it all out. It's one hour of sharp insight, political truth, and real-world solutions. HOUR 2 Hour 2 of Rush to Reason opens with two powerful callers — Wayne from Castle Rock, a veteran real estate broker, and Marty, whose earlier comments sparked debate about wealth, sacrifice, and homeownership. John Rush takes their insights head-on: are Americans struggling to buy homes, or just refusing to start small and build their way up? Together, John and Wayne unpack why expectations — not economics — are often the real obstacle to financial freedom. From there, John dismantles the fear of an impending housing crash, pointing to $122 trillion in generational wealth and America's still-strong 65% homeownership rate. The conversation shifts with Richard Rush to Colorado sports, where the Broncos, Nuggets, and Avalanche all make headlines. The hour finishes at full throttle with a car review of the 2025 Toyota GR Corolla — a turbocharged hatchback that proves small can be mighty. It's one hour of grit, growth, and gasoline-fueled insight you won't want to miss. HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush to Reason is a rollercoaster of politics, economics, and controversy. John Rush kicks things off with Jim Pfaff from the Conservative Caucus (https://theconservativecaucus.com), breaking down the latest government shutdown deal — and for once, Republicans didn't back down. Is this the start of real conservative momentum, or just a brief victory before the next battle? From Donald Trump's influence to Jerome Powell's upcoming exit at the Fed, Jim and John explore how leadership and timing could make or break the economy — and the 2026 election. Then, John shifts gears from Capitol Hill to the shop floor with a story making national headlines: the pardon of diesel mechanic Troy Lake. Sent to prison for removing emissions devices from trucks, Lake's case sparks a fiery debate. Has the government gone too far in punishing blue-collar Americans? Or was justice finally served? With John's trademark mix of insight and outrage, this hour dives deep into freedom, overreach, and the fight for common sense — from D.C. power struggles to the diesel garage. Don't miss the episode that proves why https://RushToReason.com is where truth meets traction.

We all want the dream body, but almost none of us want to slow down long enough to build the base it actually requires. In today's episode, I'm sharing one of the most important lessons I've learned as both a coach and a client: you can't build a strong, sustainable body without a strong foundation.  I use the analogy of building a dream home because just like a house needs a solid foundation before the walls go up, your body needs metabolic stability and healthy habits before you layer on intense training or dieting.  Most of us try to skip this part because we're in a hurry to see results.  I get it. I used to be the impatient one who wanted the plan, the strategy, and the visible progress right away. But rushing your transformation is the fastest way to end up starting over again and again.  In this episode, I break down what the “foundation phase” actually looks like, including how we assess metabolism using SHREDS and why stabilizing sleep, hunger cues, digestion, energy, stress, and recovery is non-negotiable.  I share why this phase can feel slow and why that slow work is what makes everything that comes after actually stick. I also walk through the three phases of a healthy nutrition journey and how to know which phase you're truly ready for.  This is about building a body that can handle real life. Vacations, busy seasons, holidays, stress, and everything in between. When your foundation is strong, you don't fall apart when your routine changes. You adapt and you bounce back.  If you've been feeling frustrated with slow progress, this episode may be the reframe you needed. Take a breath — you might just be pouring the concrete.  Time Stamps: (2:57) Next Stage of Homeownership (4:34) Building The Foundation (7:27) When I First Started My Fitness Journey (12:42) The Metabolic Assessment (19:42) Building The Walls Next (20:27) Vital Spark's 3 Phases (28:02) Please Share and Review---------------------Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching---------------------Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation. ---------------------Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program---------------------Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life!---------------------Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share!---------------------Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

This is a special joint episode of The Chauncey DeVega Show and The Truth Report. Mechele Dickerson is the Arthur L. Moller Chair in Bankruptcy Law and Practice at the University of Texas at Austin School of Law and author of Homeownership and America's Financial Underclass. Her new book is The Middle-Class New Deal: Restoring Upward Mobility and the American Dream. In this wide-ranging conversation, Mechele explains how the historic federal shutdown and other economic and political policies have pushed the American middle class to the brink, especially Black and brown Americans who already face significant wealth and income gaps. She explores what it has historically meant to be middle class in America, how that definition has shifted over time, and how the wealthy legally protect and expand their economic privileges and advantage, passing critical financial knowledge down to their children. Mechele also offers guidance and encouragement for federal employees and others who have lost jobs due to the shutdown and government cuts, facing the stark realities of reduced income and potential downward mobility. Her message is clear: you are good people who did almost everything right, but circumstances beyond your control have put you in a difficult position. Recovery won't be easy, but it is possible. Donations and other support for The Chauncey DeVega Show and The Truth Report are always appreciated. But this week, listeners are encouraged, if able, to donate to food banks, nonprofits, and other organizations helping Americans under economic pressure.

Tara takes a hard look at the collapse of the American Dream — and how decades of reckless spending, congressional dysfunction, and Biden-era inflation have priced an entire generation out of homeownership. From her own story of buying a house at 23 on a journalist's salary to today's reality where the average first-time buyer is 40, Tara exposes how government greed, perpetual stimulus extensions, and a failure to pass real budgets have turned the U.S. into the stagnating Europe she once pitied. With sharp analysis and personal reflection, this episode connects economic policy to political paralysis — and what must happen to restore America's future. *When Congress stopped budgeting, America stopped building.* bidenomics, housing crisis, inflation, first-time homebuyers, american dream, stimulus spending, congress budget failure, national debt, covid spending, obamacare subsidies, generational economics, trump policies, socialism, tara podcast Tara explores how economic mismanagement and endless government spending have destroyed homeownership opportunities for young Americans. She recalls buying her first home in her early 20s — something now nearly impossible as first-time buyers hit a record low of 21%, with the average age rising to 40. The episode dissects how printing money, continuing temporary stimulus measures, and passing no real budgets since 1996 have inflated prices and destabilized the economy. Tara explains how continuing resolutions have locked in trillions in permanent spending from one-time COVID and stimulus bills, fueling inflation and debt. She also discusses the political gridlock preventing budget cuts, Trump's challenge to reduce federal waste, and how Supreme Court and census reforms could shift congressional power. Ultimately, Tara warns that if these cycles continue, America will mirror the economic stagnation of socialist Europe — where homeownership is a luxury of the middle-aged and opportunity is out of reach for the next generation.
