If you come on my show, expect to be challenged on the housing crisis facing young Americans, The theft of the American Dream.
Housing is unattainable and no one wants to talk about it.
- Only 10% of 30-year-olds are married and own a home
- The average homeowner is 59-years-old
- The average first-time buyer is 40
- 40% of homeowners say they couldn’t afford their house if they bought it today
- June 2025, sellers out numbered buyers by 500,000.
Sen. Ron Johnson points to one of the biggest factors being our broken education system that lures people into lifelong debt for useless degrees, trapping them before they have a chance to build anything at all:
"We have enticed out children to collectively incur, $1.7 trillion in debt. Degrees that employers could care less about. They dig an enormous hole difficult to get out of."
"We have to make sure young people know they have options, it's not just about a four year degree. The cost of college is absurd and not worth it. It starts with our broken system."
