Come on Laz if you recall a little American history the involvement of the State governments in land speculation and assistence to speculators topped anything you see with the program discussed.

At one time the NY legislature allowed its lands to be sold to speculators for the face value of state and continental debts which could be bought for 10 cents on the dollar. This was one of the principal reasons Hamilton's program of funding the debt met with such opposition. It drove up the price of debt and made it unprofitable to use if for land speculations.

Bringing in new homeowners is not necessarily a bad thing and benefits the community and other taxpayers in many ways.

Don't confuse socialism with the welfare state at any rate and the homowner program is certainly closer to the latter than the former. In fact, no part of socialism calls for more private ownership.

Your argument was made in a very eloquent way by hchutch. So I am willing to consider this valid point. However, the present schema proposed is RIFE for abuse if a Democrat becomes president.
