Wasn't that the Clintons and to be fair Bush also, having the gumberment strong arm banks into making loans to people that they knew could not afford them, in order to get home ownership up in certain demographics.

To not do so would have been racist.

These tax expenditures go primarily, as I said, to the upper middle class and wealthy, because the middle and lower middle class, and poor, usually use the standard deduction and don't itemize.

Not sure where you’re getting your inaccurate info, but the middle class and even upper middle classes often take the standard deduction.  A mortgage doesn’t mean you can automatically itemize.

Back when I had just gotten out of active duty and used my VA benefit.

They also loan money to people who have jobs and don't have bad credit.

So you're saying that just by being a CEHST member, your status in life is now a couple of notches higher? Improved you, and you didn't even KNOW it!!  ($hhh, if the mods find out, they might start charging us!)
