Given my back of the napkin calculation, I also wouldn't do it. But I don't know what Biden's risk tolerance was in 1974. Many bet on themselves when it comes to home purchases, and I have no idea if he had more to put down or whether there was supplemental income that helped here. He also was making more a few years later, and I don't know but I suspect senators who serve on committees make more. Worst case for him if he couldn't keep up mortgage payments is he puts it back in the market.

In terms of the tax bill counterpoint, the message Eric Trump was trying to send with his tweet was that Biden is somehow corrupt, because it's the only way he could have afforded that house. I outlined that it's not completely unreasonable for Joe to have been able to purchase that property on his salary. And he did have a law practice prior to becoming a senator, though I have no idea how successful. Contrast that with Trump living in great luxury while only paying $750 in taxes, and I think that sends a message that Trump is being hypocritical.

The Trump family accusing anyone of corruption is like OJ Simpson trying to accuse someone of being a bad husband. It's legitimately insane.

October 20, 20205 yr Apparently old puddin' head (Aikman, not Biden) thinks the president dictates flyovers on game day Aikman: "That’s a lot of jet fuel just to do a little flyover.” Buck: "That’s your hard-earned money and your tax dollars at work.” Aikman: "That stuff ain’t happening with [a] Kamala-Biden ticket, I’ll tell you that right now partner.”
