The reason the front loading isn't as apparent with car loans is just because of their shorter terms. But Clayton is right, if you pay off a loan with equal payments spread out over time, then it's mathematically required that the earlier...

"The White House" meaning whom? How can Trump be mad at someone for convincing Trump to propose something that Trump likes? Did Trump change his mind? Or does "the White House" here refer to someone else?
