My jaw nearly dropped while reading THIS ARTICLE advocating special privilege to low-income people in expanding home ownership efforts (presumably through government subsidy).
To quote:
The timing is right. Now that prices have collapsed in many areas, low-income Americans might be able to afford to purchase homes for the first time in years. Sales of new homes in June were down 21 percent from last year. This would seem an ideal time to encourage low-income families to buy homes.

I continue to read the New York Times to explore the thoughts of the seriously misguided. Yet again, no disappointment there. THIS EDITORIAL falls squarely in the misguided column.
What’s amazing to me, is that the Editors are SO close to the truth here, but they just can’t seem to understand the fundamental problem. They suggest, correctly, that through government subsidization for health care insurance to an increasing number of citizens that total system costs will inevitably go up. Oh, so true.
