Tom Basile dropped a truth bomb on Saturday that every patriotic American needs to hear. The Newsmax host warned that President Trump’s housing emergency declaration could be a dangerous trap set by the radical Left. While Trump wants to help hardworking families afford homes, the Democrats are salivating at the chance to expand government control.
The housing crisis in America is real, but big government is not the answer. Families across the country are struggling to buy their first home or even pay rent. But every time Washington gets involved, prices go up and freedom goes down.
Basile knows exactly what he’s talking about when he warns about this trap. The Left has been pushing their socialist housing agenda for decades. They want government-controlled housing, rent control, and massive spending programs that will bankrupt our nation.
President Trump genuinely wants to help American families achieve the American Dream of homeownership. His heart is in the right place, and he understands the pain families feel. But declaring a housing emergency gives Democrats the opening they’ve been waiting for to push their radical agenda.
The real solution to housing costs is getting government out of the way, not giving it more power. We need to cut regulations that make building homes expensive. Local zoning laws and environmental red tape are driving up costs for everyone.
Free market capitalism built the greatest nation on earth, and it can solve our housing problems too. When builders can build and buyers can buy without government interference, prices come down naturally. Competition works better than any government program ever will.
Republicans must not fall for the Left’s trap of thinking more government spending will fix this crisis. Every dollar Washington spends comes from the pockets of hardworking taxpayers. Every new program creates more bureaucrats and less freedom.
Tom Basile is absolutely right to sound the alarm before it’s too late. The GOP needs to stay true to conservative principles and reject the siren call of big government solutions. America’s families deserve better than socialist housing schemes disguised as emergency relief.
