Do you know anything about the military?

One of the biggest draws for people is the paycheck, a lot see military service as a way out of poverty. It's like one of their main points for recruitment...

Right, exactly. The paycheck is not just this week the paycheck is Mortgage rates, Interest rate rates on loans, Education funding,etc.

They will never give that up. They will mow down parking lots of people for that mortgage rate, especially now that Trump is screaming about 50 year mortgages
