I think in many markets the inventory at the lower end of the spectrum has shaken out for the most part.

Bryan -I completely agree with you...Historically speaking, taxes are very low right now (the lowest in 60 years according to the Tax Policy Center), and while they'll probably increase a bit over the next couple years, they will continue to be low relative to recent levels of taxation in this country.All that said, reducing Federal income tax at the lower end of the income spectrum would hopefully alleviate some of the pressure middle class folks are having making ends meet and ensuring their families have the basic necessities -- a good thing in my book...

Where there are points of inconsistency, one must wonder if the argument is valid in its entirety.Though, in this case, despite the inconsistency, I think the point about the entire previous administration (both the President and the democratic congress) being to blame, is a good one.Corruption and poor decision making throughout several administrations (on both sides of the political spectrum) have led to the housing crisis.
