I don't find myself agreeing with David Brooks that much, but he nailed this one with the headline: Money for idiots.
The stimulus package handed tens of billions of dollars to states that spent profligately during the prosperity years. The Obama housing plan will force people who bought sensible homes to subsidize the mortgages of people who bought houses they could not afford. It will almost certainly force people who were honest on their loan forms to subsidize people who were dishonest on theirs.
It just encourages everyone to be an idiot. I honestly can't believe we're even having this discussion in this country.
