The Myth of "Home Ownership"



Congress should:
  • Remember "Vine & Fig Tree," the original "America Dream"
  • Promote ownership by Americans, not by banks

When Americans today think of "the American Dream," they think of "home ownership." They think they've "really arrived" when they qualify for a low-interest, fixed-rate mortgage.

This is not the "American Dream."

This is a nightmare.

The original American Dream was not a low-interest mortgage, in which you pay the banks more in interest over 30 years than the value of the home. The original American Dream was owning your own home free and clear.

Both Republicans and Democrats say they want to give ordinary Americans "the benefits of home ownership." Over the last few decades, the government has inflated the money supply by trillions of dollars to promote "home ownership." But this newly-created money was not given to ordinary Americans so that they could buy a home for themselves and own it free and clear. All this money was given to banks so they could lend it to ordinary Americans and make trillions of dollars in interest.

It is not just that the government looks after bankers more than ordinary Americans It's that bankers make up the government. Timothy Geithner, Obama's Secretary of the Treasury, and Henry Paulson, Bush's Treasury Secretary, were both bankers. They will return to their banks when they leave government. Robert Rubin, Clinton's Treasury Secretary, was also a banker with the same bank as Henry Paulson (Goldman Sachs). Laurence Summers was also Secretary of the Treasury under Clinton, and "Since returning to government in the Obama administration, he has come under fire for his numerous financial ties to Wall Street."

Politicians who voted in favor of the Bush-Obama bailout/stimulus packages received more of the contributions made by bankers than those who voted against the bailouts.

The idea that strengthening the power of government will help ordinary Americans live safely under their own vine and fig tree is a delusion.

Here are a few occasions when Presidents have used the phrase "home ownership." The concept of home ownership is found in too many documents to list.
