Put Dems on the Spot With Small but Popular Affordability Hacks

While we let the Trump agenda kick in, let’s do some minor things, things that people can get their heads around and that make a difference to them.  - Kurt Schlichter
Things like these…
1. Outlaw Subscription Scams: 
2. “Dynamic Pricing” Scams: 
3. Corporations Buying Up Houses: 
6. Speak American: 
7. Baloney Fees: “Resort fees,” “convenience fees,” and “we just want more of your money fees” are out of control. Mandate that every mandatory charge be included in the base advertised fee...
8. Planned Obsolescence: Remember how your mom's lime green refrigerator from 1974 was still cooling away in 2014?.. 
9. Young People's Home Loans: We want young people to buy houses...Give married couples – we want them married – in their 20s a $5,000 credit if they buy a home. And give them a kicker for every kid during their 20s.
10. Catastrophic Health Insurance Policies: Young people should be allowed to skip all the bells and whistles and just get covered for if they get hit by a bus. Yeah, you’d have to pay for your own check-ups, but you’d be surprised how reasonable they are when the doctors know they’re getting cash or a credit card upfront...
  • None of these initiatives is going to change the world. 
  • That’s not the point...
