[quote=CONCHO]….I’ve never heard a single politician run on a platform of keeping home prices high….[/quote]
I think Chris Dodd and Barney Frank have made it pretty clear that is their priority. Of course, no one comes out and says that they want homes to be overpriced, or artificially manipulated up. Instead, they talk about the need for a “stable” market during natural downturns, and “more affordability” (read: cheap easy money) during upturns. Same outcome -higher home prices.
