NYT Supports House Price Support Program

by

The NYT is right to push for mortgage modifications, but the NYT's idea of keeping house prices at bubble inflated levels is bit off the wall. It is especially ironic given the paper's often expressed contempt for farm price support programs. The latter make much sense economically than a house price support program.
