, all suggested that gerry himself was not especially keen on the plan.thought that it was overly partisan. he thought that it was untoward and nefarious, but he kind of went along with it because more than that, he wanted to get the stuff done that he had been elected to do, and getting that done meant controlling the state legislature. so while the original gerrymander was created by the massachusetts state legislature, it was gerry's name that became attached to it. so, if there's one thing that i hope this book does, it's that it at least to some extent, vindicates the historical legacy of elbridge gerry, who is remembered chiefly for this. even though he went on to serve as vice-president of the united states under james madison. even though he was one of the massachusetts delegates to the constitutional convention in philadelphia, and was extremely influential in the creation of the bill of rights. gerry, i think, would have made a great presidential candidate as well if he were a younger man and his age was pretty much the only thing that prevented

gerri willis with us now. how much is that up from last year?under one hundred thousand, we now have 45 metro areas in the country, members of the hundred grand club compared to 16 last year. we had this huge delta in interest rates and that is what has happened but these days if you want to be a homeowner you need to earn at least 6 figures with spiking mortgage rates and's rising housing prices pushing monthly mortgage payments through the roof. new data showing a home buyer has to earn as you said $107,281 to afford the 2682 monthly mortgage payment on a typical us home. that is up 45.6% from 70,000 a year ago. mortgage rates rising at their fastest rate on record this year. today the number at 7. 08%, these are freddie mac numbers we will update at noon and incomes have not kept up. listen. >> income needed to buy home is well above what median income is in this country and that means you have to be part of the upper-class to afford a home now and previously homeownership was seen as a way to enter into the upper-class, now you have to alrea

gerri willis joins me this morning. great to see you, gerri.ss the question is, how much are americans charging to their credit cards? reporter: 866 billion-dollars, think about that, big numbers as cyber monday gears up, americans are charging more than ever on their credit cards as interest rates soar above 19% on average, that is the credit card interest rate and the highest in 31 years. inflation rates at levels wage growth failing to match, no surprise, credit card balances hitting a rise, record 866 billion in the third quarter, 19% liar than the same period last year. according to trans union, the credit reporting agency. now some cash-strapped households are using credit cards to pay for necessities like utility bills. christmas bills will no doubt end up on plastic too as 48% of americans in a deloitte survey will use old-fashioned credit cards to pay for presents. americans are loading up on debt at a time savings levels are plunging, look at these numbers, falling to 626 billion, from 4.85 trillion in 2020. today's levels the lowest

gerri willis is live in east chester, new york. gerri. >> reporter: hey, cheryl, that's right.in stocks yesterday, right? but even though we've given some of that back, i have to tell you american families are not impressed by that 7.7% inflation number. they say it's painful. so we came to east chester to explain why. let's start with some of these year-over-year comparisons of costs. you think that a carton of eggs, like, that's the cheap way to get protein. not so much this year. up 43% year-over-year. milk higher by 14% year-over-year. you think you can save money on fruiters and vegetables, they're up 9% year-over-year with. so that's painful too. coffee is up 14% and butter, if you're a cook, you know what i'm talking about, this is up 33% year-over-year. and, of course, that means that thanksgiving is going to be more expensive, right? and we need to trade out some of those things you have every year. the thanksgiving turkey, it's higher by 16% since last october. and when you're looking at potatoes, that's something people use to stretch their males, that's -- meals, th

gerri willis joins us now with more. hey, gerri. >> reporter: cheryl, that is absolutely right.those interest rates. want to explain what is going on there. they are falling down to 6.6%. that is nearly half a percentage point today. so that is a big change, but when we look at what is going on with the affordability, that is, really testing americans. these days if you want to be a homeowner you need to earn at least six figures as spiking mortgage rates and housing prices push monthly mortgage payments through the roof. new data from redfin showing a homebuyer has to earn $107,000 as you see right here to afford the 2600-dollar monthly mortgage payment on a typical home. that is up 45% from a year ago. listen. >> the income needed to buy a home is well above the what what the median income is in this country. that means you have to be a part of the upper class to be able to afford a home now. previously homeownership was a way to enter into the upper class. now you have to already be there to be able to afford that starter home. >> reporter: meanwhile home construction decline

ironically he was responsible for doing what elbridge gerry is accused of get i have tried in vain but i think it's probably too late to introduce the term into the american political way but i will keep trying because this is the guy it should be named after. so he was the british colonial governor of north carolina in the 1730sga and by the time he got around to engaging in the practice of gerrymandering, he was on his second stint in that particular position. there's an interesting story how he and his of losing and regaining his job but at the risk of spoiling it, it involves threatening to murder chief justice of the north carolina colony and assaulting the attorney general with the chair. more on that in the book. but like gary, he is frustrated by the opposition to his school he was returning from the legislature. the colonial legislature consisted of two houses. an opera house made up of abutments of the governor himself represented the britisha crown in the lower house elected by the colonists and represented their. it wasar the lower house he foud himself frustrated with so i
