Republicans Contract on American....aka their proposed budget plan

They want to end the tax deduction for interest on home mortgages. Wonder if the head of the National Realtor's Associations have seen that?

deserves the headline.

It is true that in today's America, those who can even HAVE a mortgage are by definition, better off than a lot of Americans. But many are now struggling to pay that mortgage. Some of those voted for Trump. They will NOT be happy by this proposal. (but some of them are so far gone that even when it will clearly hurt them, they will still support him. Ugh.)
