- paganel 4y agoSince the famous “it’s the economy, stupid!” each and every US President has taken upon himself to support said economy and to make it thrive, because that’s what was getting the electorate’s votes. That has mostly meant trying to support the stock market/share prices, but under the current ideological circumstances it wouldn’t surprise me if the US Government were to help other sections of the economy, like housing.
