and they're looking to the federal government congress, the administration to do something about it. well, do you think they can actually get to the core of that? i mean, the counselor harris has said im going to build 3000000 new homes. and then after that, everyone gets $25000.00 for down payment. i've heard a lot of economists say that's an absolutely horrible idea and it's just gonna make housing prices that much more expensive. i mean, i think that, you know, vice president harris is focused on the both, you know, obvious and under rated areas that are causing families financial, you know, pressure at this point. so whether we're talking about building a bunch of new units, which are kind of a say we need to build farm or housing units in this country to make it affordable, offering some down payment assistance, as you mentioned, or leaving the burden of student that bring back the child tax credit, the really expanded child tax credit, which, you know, when it was implemented to reduce child poverty by a 3rd in this country, that's more money back in people's pockets. they can

federal government. i think having congress come in and having the federal government take over housing or start turning the knobs on the market, usually that ends up making things worse. we've seen that in education where we started federally backed student loans and cost of education goes through the roof. and you know, billing regulation has lead is lot of building around the country, here in montana, we've seen massive growth and only handful of our communities across the state while other communities are suffering and they would like to have economic growth. incentivizing folks to grow businesses that were not under missoula because those housing marks are running way from us so fast. john: senator tester. jon: housing is a huge issue. i'm not talk about regulation. i'm not talk about price fixing. what i'm talking about is giving people a hand up. look, my grandparents moved here in 1910 because of policy that is were put forth in the lincoln administration with the homestead act. that aloud us to be here for over 110 years and still going strong i'm asking for the federal government to do the sam
