Economy unites generations; Parents, grandparents live together to make ends meet

Things are bad, and will continue to get worse as the Government keeps spending more money, putting our future and our Childrens future in doubt. Mr Biden, the only thing you "misread" is how much your spending will crush the economy.

Anytime you see mass personal finance issues, why don't we look at the biggest expense every budget faces. When modest little homes take up over 30% of most budgets, I think we know where the biggest slice of the problem is. While the housing "collapse" (aka prices returning to a reasonable level) has been the mascot of the recession, I would think that the housing price BOOM is the mascot of most families' impossibly overburdened checkbooks. Why is this not getting the attention it deserves? It is a huge part of the problem.
