What happens if the Tea Party is successful at eliminating government support of the mortgage market?

If the Tea Party can do that they will have served at least one useful purpose. I’d like to see all government support of the mortgage market eliminated. I don’t see why my tax money should be used to help someone buy an overpriced house.[/quote]
Agreed, with the possible exception of the government backing mortgage loans for a **single, primary residence** only, and even then, there should be a minimum 20% down payment requirement, and 28/33% DTI ratios on fully-verified income, at most.
