A Resolution for Universal Public Housing - Senator Adam Sykes
Resolved:
The state governments of the United States of America shall install universal housing utilizing a low, flat price and standardized mortgage rates.
Whereas, the US economy will only grow if the American consumer resumes spending.
Whereas, a lower standardized rate will encourage economic growth with a fixed mortgage rate, halting the numerous cases of negative equity.
Whereas, the construction of multimillion dollar homes is detrimental to fiscal expansion, for no one will purchase the homes, and their value will depreciate.
Therefore, let it be resolved that universal housing and standardized mortgage rates be uniformly mandated across the country.
