Newsmax host Tom Basile dropped some serious truth bombs on Saturday about the housing crisis facing America. He warned Republicans not to fall into the Left’s sneaky affordable housing trap that always ends up hurting taxpayers. President Trump might declare a housing emergency to get more tools to fix this mess, but we better be smart about it.
The liberal elites want us to think their so-called affordable housing programs will save the day. But Basile knows better and so should every patriotic American. These programs just lead to higher property taxes that crush working families. The government creates the problem then pretends to be the solution.
Real conservatives know we need to focus on economic development that brings good jobs and grows the tax base. We don’t need more government housing projects that turn into welfare magnets. We need policies that help Americans earn their own way to the American Dream.
Basile laid out the right path forward for President Trump and Republican leaders. First, keep pushing for lower interest rates so families can actually afford mortgages again. Second, give real tax breaks to first-time buyers who want starter homes, not fancy McMansions for the wealthy.
Every city has empty lots and abandoned buildings just sitting there while politicians whine about housing shortages. Smart leaders would fix up these properties first instead of building new government housing. This creates jobs and makes neighborhoods better without growing the welfare state.
The college scam is robbing our young people blind with worthless degrees and crushing debt. Millions of kids graduate with no real skills and mountains of loans they can’t pay back. Fixing this disaster would free up money for young Americans to actually buy homes.
We also need policies that let young workers save more money tax-free for down payments on their first homes. The current system makes it nearly impossible for regular Americans to save enough while the government takes huge chunks of their paychecks. Every hardworking American deserves a shot at homeownership.
Tom Basile gets it because he understands what real Americans face every day. We don’t need more government programs that sound nice but make everything worse. We need common sense policies that put American families first and get government out of the way.
