- 50-year mortgages and 2-thousand-dollar checks S4E228 11.19.2025

Today we hear from Lester, who lives in Pittsburgh, PA Lester asks, "So, Trump is trying to regain some popularity by floating short-term promises to his base." His 50-year mortgage idea and telling people he wants to give everyone a $2000 check. Does the panel think this will affect his popularity? In my opinion, a 50-year mortgage would primarily benefit mortgage lenders, allowing them to collect more interest, and placing people with these long mortgage terms into lifelong payments.

...13 min - The Democrats Cave, What it might mean S4E227 11.18.2025
Do you have a question or comment? Want to suggest a topic for our panel or be a guest on the Nova Society? Send us a message!
Today, our email is from Jessica, who lives in Syracuse, NY. Jessica asks, so it comes as no surprise to me, but 8 Democrats caved in the Senate, and it looks like the government may reopen soon. So, I was wondering if this turn of events is a surprise to the panel. Also, it seems that this might turn back the Blue wave of last week's election results. What do you see as the fallout from this change of heart by these Democrats? Will their base punish them for just giving in?
