Debt Ceiling Unconstitutional?  RFK jr. says CIA took out JFK.  Headline Update 5.8.23

On Today’s Headline Update Show for Ranting Politics, we cover the following headlines:   The Debt Ceiling: Are Biden and Yellen setting up an Unconstitutional Maneuver? & Did RFK jr. Just tell the World the CIA
killed his Uncle JFK?

Key Moments:

President Biden and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen seem to be toying with the idea of declaring the debt ceiling unconstitutional. As the government's borrowing limit remains unresolved between Democrats and Republicans, the US could start defaulting on some payments as early as June.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Democratic presidential candidate polling at around 20% so far in the primaries, recently claimed that the CIA was involved in the assassination of his uncle, former President John F. Kennedy, and that there has been a 60-year coverup to hide the truth.

WHO Pandemic Treaty, You Need to Know
On today's episode of You Need to Know,  we'll be discussing the highly contentious WHO proposed pandemic treaty, called the CA+. With some flaws and areas of concern within the current draft, it's crucial to examine this treaty and its implications for the United States and the rest of the world. 

The treaty's scope is enormous, committing parties to providing funding, enacting policies, and adopting legislation and other measures not just during a pandemic, but also during "inter-pandemic times." This means that even though treaty parties technically retain their sovereign control over domestic pandemic response, complying with the treaty will require significant policy changes and implementation whether a pandemic is declared or not.

Good Credit? You Pay More!  New Rule from Federal Housing Finance Agency.

On today's episode of You Need to Know, we'll be looking at a new Federal Rule that has been making headlines recently but not nearly enough. Its The Biden Administration's Upside-Down Mortgage Policy from the Federal Housing Finance Agency: We discuss the Baffling Redistribution of Risk, Lessons from the Subprime Mortgage Crisis, and explain PMI Insurance.

Key details:

In a perplexing move reminiscent of the flawed policies that led to the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis, the Biden Administration is introducing a new mortgage rule that forces homebuyers with good credit scores to subsidize those with riskier credit ratings. Effective May 1, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) will implement new fees, causing borrowers with credit scores above 680 to pay approximately $40 more per month on a $400,000 home loan. Those making down payments of 20% will shoulder the highest fees, which will be used to lower fees for riskier borrowers.
