They have an inverse relationship with each other. The more expensive money is the less an asset may cost and vice versa.

15-20 year mortgages are the way to go IMO. Stay in it as long as you can and pay biweekly rather than monthly if you are able. So if note is 1500, pay 750 every two weeks. It will shave a couple of years off the loan. I had a 15 year on my previous home and loved seeing that principle go down.

Trump joked that Russia should hack more of Hillary's emails. Never before had a Presidential nominee suggested a foreign country should commit espionage. Republicans are OK with it.

All of our intelligence agencies say that Russia hacked our election, and undermined our democracy. Flagg says he needs "proof" of this. There is proof, it's been submitted in both classified and unclassified reports.

Trump promises to build a wall and have Mexico pay for it-all for an illegal immigration problem that simply doesn't exist. The reality is a proposed 700 mile wall with prices ranging anywhere from 5-15 billion dollars. This doesn't include maintenance, and other long term upkeep costs. Trump promises to have Mexico pay for it later, which clearly isn't going to happen without fuzzy math and blatant lying. Conservatives are fine with that too.

No it doesn't surprise me that Republicans want to get rid of ethics oversight or put laws into place so they can target government employees that rub them the wrong way. That's business as usual. But never in my life could I have imagined Republicans as apologists for Putin, working tirelessly to defend a massive, far reaching cyber attack on their own country. How much lower can conservatives go? Everything is brushed off with indifference, or demanding proof. What a sad lot you've all become.

Aside from gutting healthcare for millions of Americans, what else was on the GOP agenda in the first 100 days? Well for starters they wanted to gut the ethics committee. They encountered a shitstorm for that and quickly retreated. Now they seek to revive the "Holman Rule."

So what does this do? It allows lawmakers to go after individual federal employees. Either by firing them, eliminating their job entirely or knocking their pay down to one dollar.

This now makes sense why Trump's transition team requested the names of employees who participated in climate change studies (which that agency refused btw.) 

So here we have a new conservative majority who wants to gut any kind of ethics oversight, and then give themselves permission to go after people in the government they deem a nuisance.
