Aye carumba! Suddenly someone doesnt want free markets without gov’t intervention any more. That is unless it is the gov’t intervention and market manipulation that favors your viewpoint. Yikes!

BTW, Shelter is a need but home ownership is not. Just ask all the happy renters out there. I would venture to guess that a retired renter with $700,000 of cash in the bank would be just fine relative to a retired homeowner with a paid off $700,000 home. Perhaps even better off. Of course they would not have the stability or joy of home ownership but that is a privilege in this country not a right.
