Nearly a century of Washington's efforts to
promote homeownership has produced one calamity after another. Time to stop.
In December, the New York Times published a
5,100-word article charging that the Bush
administration's housing policies had "stoked"
the foreclosure crisisâand thus the financial
meltdown. By pushing for lax lending standards,
encouraging government enterprises to make
mortgages more available, and leaning on
private lenders to come up with innovative ways
to lend to ever more Americansusing "the
mighty muscle of the federal government,"" as
the president himself put itBush had lured
millions of people into bad mortgages that they
ultimately couldn't afford, the Times said.
Yet almost everything that the Times accused
the Bush administration of doing has been
pursued many times by earlier administrations,
both Democratic and Republicanand often with
calamitous results. The Times's analysis
exemplified our collective amnesia about
Washington's repeated attempts to expand
homeownership and the disasters they've caused.
The ideal of homeownership has become so
sacrosanct, it seems, that we never learn from
these disasters. Instead, we clean them up and
thenas if under ssome strange compulsionset
in motion the mechanisms of the next houusing catastrophe.
