Back in 2005, '06, '07, '08, '09, and '10, in Ohio, we saw a housing crisis unlike anything we had ever seen before. We saw almost 400,000 people in Ohio, families, lose their home. We saw over 400,000 job losses. We saw a 16 percent decrease in housing values in Ohio. All the while, hundreds of miles away, perched in the gold-plated towers of the Trump building in New York City, there was a billionaire saying: I hope this happens. I hope the housing market collapses. I hope people get thrown from their homes. I hope they file bankruptcy because that will be good for me. Shame. Shame that we have a major leader of a major party rooting against families in Ohio, in Pennsylvania, in Florida, in Colorado. Shame on you, Mr. Trump. You are supposed to be rooting for the American people, not rooting against them. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair would like to remind Members, once again, to refrain from engaging in personalities toward presumptive nominees for the Office of President. ____________________
