“Today, Fannie Mae (nyse: FNM - news - people ) will announce plans to expand its support of a ten-year, $2 trillion, first-time home buyer lending program called American Dream Commitment.”

It now appears that, thanks to the Fed’s ultra-low interest rate policy and the packaging of dollar assets into bonds for Asian central banks to buy with their excess of dollars, everyone who needs a residence can at least purchase one, if not afford it.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
