The usefulness of our evening ‘left and right’ headline news recap for busy manufactured housing industry professionals is perhaps more useful than ever since we began the practice some years ago. In about a minute or two, most pros can get the top headlines from across the political divide. That said, tonight’s feature will be two different but interrelated topics. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (CA-D) says she’s of the mind that President Trump isn’t qualified, but she is against impeachment. That will stir some buzz for a while. Plus, the White House has rolled out the 2020 Trump Administration budget proposal for the federal government. On a day when markets rebounded, as did most manufactured housing tracked stocks, those the Trump Budget and Pelosi items make up our featured reports for this evening.
If you’re new, already hooked on our new spotlight feature – or are ready to get the MH professional fever – our headline report is found further below, after the newsmaker bullets and major indexes closing tickers.

Today’s MH Market Spotlight Report –
In an interview with the Jeff Bezos owned Washington Post, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said today “I’m not for impeachment [of President Trump].”
“This is news. I’m going to give you some news right now because I haven’t said this to any press person before. But since you asked, and I’ve been thinking about this: Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path, because it divides the country.”
Put differently, it’s a bland admission that there is a lack of such compelling and overwhelming evidence.
Pelosi may also be making a tacit admission that it didn’t work for the GOP against then President Bill Clinton in the late 1990s, and it may backfire for Democrats if they tried it today. Don’t expect any bombshells from Special Counsel Mueller’s looming report that will show the president colluded with Russians in 2016. If that’s so, keep in mind that MHProNews signaled that 2 years ago.
“And he’s [President Trump] just not worth it,” Pelosi said.
The Washington Post asked Pelosi if Trump was “fit to be president.” Pelosi responded with “Are we talking ethically? Intellectually? Politically? What are we talking here?…All — All of the above. No. No. I don’t think he is. I mean, ethically unfit. Intellectually unfit. Curiosity-wise unfit,” the Democratic Speaker of the House said. “No, I don’t think he’s fit to be president of the United States.”
While there are bound to be firebrands push back on that ‘no impeachment’ call, including from her own party, it may help with more financial market stability. Investors like more certainty.
Speaking of markets, Fox Business reported this evening that President Donald. J. Trump’s budget calls for reforming the nation’s welfare programs. It starts with strengthening work requirements for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, also referred to as food stamps), Medicaid and HUD housing assistance.
While a hardship exemption will exist, most able-bodied individuals between 18 and 65 will generally be required to work at least 20 hours per week in order to receive assistance, get job training or community service, Fox said according to senior administration officials. It’s projected to save some $327 billion over 10 years.
Other changes – 5 percent more for the military, but numerous other cuts equal to about 5 percent, are supposed to save “trillions of dollars” over recent federal spending practices.
Administration officials told Fox that the proposed budget, along with the last two budget proposals, contain more reductions in spending than any president has ever proposed.
That may be true, but even with increased federal tax revenue collections, and with fewer federal workers since the tax cuts act, the deficit continues to grow.
CBS notes that over 8 billion more is being requested for border wall or fencing funding.
In case you didn’t notice, the seemingly non-stop campaign season – now for the 2020 election cycle – is also in full swing.
