Hundreds of thousands of tech workers have been laid off recently.
Why hasn't H1B adjusted to this economic reality? What sense does this argument make if we're literally laying off 4-5-6 hundred thousand tech workers?

How “organic” was it to hear Trump himself tell Laura Ingraham that we need to import Asian workers because there isn’t any talent in America?
Or Scott Bessent "cleaning it up" by saying we need foreign workers to train Americans in industries that India isn't even good at (ship building, chip manufacturing, etc.)?

It increases inventory
a. You need buyers. They're still buying severely inflated assets at high rates. How does this plan help them be able to afford the homes?
b. Is the person selling an owner of multiple properties? Seems like the inventory ends up a net 0 if not

Saying "MAGA is dead" is not some complicated concept, especially when so much of the original sales pitch is being ignored/reversed.

It makes sense because I am paying cash from the sale of my home
But your original loan was only $180k, right?
And you've paid that down some, right?
Why would you ever get to exceed the delta on the new loan at the low rate?
So let's say you borrowed 180k and owed 160k. You sell for 400k and can only bring over that $160k of "old rate" in the new mortgage , right?

The house is now worth 400k. That means I can sell the house for 400k and buy a NEW house for 400k and keep my 2.25 rate.
This makes no sense.
The remainder of your old mortgage? That makes sense.
The scenario you posted would just force banks to raise rates incredibly higher for everyone who didn't buy at times of insanely low rates.

This is why we can't have nice things. No policy will ever benefit everyone 100% equally
The 2 issues are
1. This doesn't address the actual problem (RE values being inflated)
2. This only helps a population who is already at an advantage. How does this help a person who is buying (without a current mortgage) today?

You get one in special ed, but special ed accounts for the entire distribution, from kids with severe mental handicaps to genius IQs.
