New regulations and low wages prohibit many from buying homes. Also, many people do not save and need the newest cell phone, fashion, and cars. If more people were focused, they can buy a house.
Check out the stock market - I think 10k points higher in 8 years, more than double. It's difficult to fix the economy when the Congress doesn't know how to work together. I can see where you think he negotiated with Iran but that payment was already was supposed to be sent.
