How do you address the affordability challenge right now?

Going into 2028.

Both parties have to address the affordability issue, right?

Midterms is around the corner.

With midterms being around the corner, we're 12 months away from the midterms.

That's where we are.

I want to say Cal she and Cal she is saying, give or take,

I want to say it's Calci that said this, that's 70% likelihood that the Democrats are going to win the midterms next year.

It's going to be a plus minus more Democrats than it is going to be with Republicans.

That's what the numbers are at.

It could change right now where it's at, but the last time I saw was at 70%.

So if it's going right now, yeah, there you go, 72% Cal, she has Democrats winning versus, and by the way, the closest it got was when a couple weeks ago, what was the number? 55, 50, okay, but it's pretty much Democrats. All right. So you guys are consultants to both political parties. They want to find out how do you fixed the affordability issue. How do you do it, Jeff? Well, one thing you've got to stop doing is to make the same mistake that politicians have been making since the pandemic hit. And really going back further than that is to say the economy's booming. This thing, the sucker's great. Just look at the stock market. That just pisses people off more than anything else. You want to know why there's a socialist as mayor of New York City? That's why. Because people don't have jobs. They don't have enough income to pay for things. And here you are telling them how great everything is. If this is great, sign me up for socialism. That's one thing you've got to stop. We've got to stop saying the economy is booming. And this is, this is, this is, this is political parties all over

the planet. You look at countries around the rest of the world. You look at the Germany.

Germany just changed governments. It's already incredibly unpopular because they said, well,

we're going to do this major fiscal spending push. We'll call it a bazooka. Massive huge,

$500 billion euro fiscal stimulus. Not going to do anything.

It's all theater.

You've got to stop with the theater and start attacking the band-aids. Give me two more. Two more. So it's three ways to do. So stop, stop talking. Consultant, out of the government. Start being honest. Okay, start being honest, which is going to be hard, but what's the next one? The next thing is to get the hell out of the way of the private economy.

We have way too much government interference.

One of the biggest problems that we economy. We have way too much government interference.

One of the biggest problems that we've had since 2008 or 2009, what they call nowadays fiscal dominance,

it's simply that every time the economy stumbles, what happens?
