Phil Berger's response? A new private school voucher scheme. Half a billion dollars of taxpayer money will mostly go to help wealthy citizens pay for private schools.

American renters are paying an unaffordable amount of their salary to rent according to government data. Renters are cost burdened if they pay more than thirty percent of income on rent. The majority of renters in most states and the twenty biggest cities and counties are cost burdened under that definition. During the pandemic it was very hard to find a lightly used car under twenty thousand dollars. But a study by automotive website iccars.com shows sub twenty thousand dollar vehicle inventory is up by thirty percent since last year. Giving the budget conscious buyer a lot more choices. What happens when mortgage rates start to fall? The Mortgage Bankers Association reports mortgage applications surged eleven percent in just one week. Not surprisingly, most of the new applications are to refinance an existing mortgage taken out when rates were much higher. I'm Mark Huffman. Learn more at consumeraffairs.com.

Welcome to September 27th on the National Day Calendar. Today we're mending hearts and exploring new horizons. Forgiveness is a powerful act that can heal relationships and bring about emotional freedom. It's not just about pardoning others, but also about forgiving yourself. So, today is a gentle reminder to release any lingering resentment and embrace the opportunity to start anew. Reach out, make amends and feel the weight live from your shoulders because today is the National Day of Forgiveness. When you ate the last apple when we were on that hike up the mountain. Yes. I forgive you. Aww, thank you, Marlowe. And I also forgive you too. For not packing an extra apple. No, for being so annoying sometimes. But you're welcome. I love you. No, let's turn our attention to the wonders of the world and the joy of discovering new places. Tourism brings people together, fosters cultural understanding and supports local economies. From iconic landmarks and natural wonders to hidden gems and local traditions, traveling opens our eyes to the beauty and diversity of our planet. Whether you're planning your next big adventure or exploring your own backyard, take a moment to appreciate the journey and the stories it brings. So pack your bags or dream of future explorations because today is World Tourism Day. [Music] [Music] I think we should totally go be a tourist today. You know one of the best places to go around your neck of the woods is Boulder City. Yeah? It's a cool place to hang out and be a tourist. Alright, I think I'd be open to that. Okay. Or maybe like Desert Valley. That would be cool too. I don't know where that's at, but let's do it. Alright, let's go. I'm Latoya Johnson. I'm Marlo Anderson.
