And if a bunch of money floods into the market, without building much more? Home prices will respond by going UP. Higher demand, lower supply pretty much does that. And IQ47 DID SAY he wants real estate prices to be high like a month ago. Probably a coincidence that he owns a bunch of real estate himself.

where the "credit default swaps" may make a more deregulated return as the GOP further weakens Dodd-Frank.

So they are artificially improving the credit scores of those with a credit score that is, well, not so good. And this is supposed to help? What's that smell? Defaults? Foreclosures?

Anyone who wants to understand why this is not a good idea I highly recommend watching the movie "The Big Short." The movie is entertaining and it explains what happened in the financial crisis and the "great recession" back in 2007-2010 when the housing market crashed, many big investment firms went bankrupt and thousands and thousands (millions actually) of average Americans lost their jobs and their homes. It is actually one of my favorite movies. And it appears as though America never learned. We are headed into the same abyss but I fear it will be worse this time. Do we really want to do this again? Really, again?

Here's a clip:

It just more people competing for dwindling resources. It will reduce affordability and increase scarcity.

“Homeownership” is a luxury. Renting is a necessity.

"Liar real estate loans" were the main reason for the collapse in 2008.
Lenders were allowed to accept "stated income" on loan applications to qualify for a real estate loan.

For example, applicants earning under
$100k per year were qualifying for million dollar+ loans by lying about their income. There is a reason there are guidelines to qualifying for a loan. It's to increase the likelihood the applicant can pay for the purchase. In many cases, the government guarantees these loans so lenders will make loans they wouldn't otherwise provide. But, the gov't. currently has strict guidelines. Republicans want to change that and they also want lower interest rates. But without having to put in the work to actually make our economy stronger. That requires time, work and sacrifice.

These bad loans were bundled with good loans and sold to banks on the secondary market until it collapsed.
The taxpayer paid for the f*ckup.

Here we go again. Fake it until you break it. Republicans will give a false sense of a robust economy. The Democrats will have to clean it up again and get the blame because the bubble will burst, once again, on their watch.
