The mortgage interest deduction is the government pretending to give you something, and you believing it.

The net result is to pump up the price of houses.

No, the mortgage interest deduction is the government taking less of your money, just like every other deduction.

The net result of eliminating it right now would be to further depress the price of homes.

No sale.
