clipped by: Victoria Barret clipper's remarks: Fan & Fred pass some cheap money to home buyers, but the majority of it goes to banks. Why is the U.S. government subsidizing lenders? Instead, pass along the savings directly to homeowners. Clip Source: online.wsj.com In addition, the assumption that U.S. taxpayers would stand behind Fannie and Freddie's bonds allowed them to get by with far less capital than their private market competitors (less than 1% capital to assets versus the market standard of 6% to 8%). Fannie and Freddie successfully fought back, arguing that they pass on to borrowers most of the savings from their below-market-rate prices for capital. But that is debatable. Most economists believe borrowers get at most 10 basis points of Fannie and Freddie's built-in market advantage of 25 to 40 basis points. That Credit, if set to equal 10 basis points of the total mortgage rate, would be worth $400 a year on a $400,000 loan, about equal to what Fannie and Freddie provide indirectly to homeowners, and with considerably less noise and risk. Don't hide a housing subsidy by outsourcing government policy to a semi-private, for-profit corporation that exposes the taxpayers to $5 trillion in potential liabilities.

It doesn't look like Tax credits for special-needs students will get state legislative approval this year. As noted in today's article, legislation that would allow parents of special-needs students to get a $6,000 a year Tax Credit for tuition at private schools is locked in committee. Both supporters and opponents concede it's unlikely the legislation will be voted on before the General Assembly recesses this month. Legislators seem to be heeding the state's education lobby, which uniformly has opposed the bill as being a backdoor attempt toward vouchers for all families. Aside from concerns about the precedent that would be set, education groups have specific problems with the legislation itself. Leanne Winner, lobbyist for the N.C. School Boards Association , said the wording is so vague that a special-needs student who has a daily 25-minute study skills class could be eligible for the Tax Credit. Winner said the legislation would only benefit parents who could already afford to send their children to private schools. Cecil Banks, chief lobbyist for the N.C. Association of Educators , pointed out that parents can work with school districts to get their special-needs children sent to a private school. (Of course, that's something that public schools fight to avoid since it can be expensive.) Banks said the vast majority of special-needs students are going to be in the public schools so the focus should be on improving funding th ...

(From The Times-Picayune ) After Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the federal government tried to speed the restoration of affordable rental housing by channeling a vast number of Tax credits to Louisiana. Many developers nonetheless struggled to secure private investors and begin construction of this critical type of housing. In a recent report, an independent real estate consultant blames the frequent delays partly on the way the state designed and implemented the Gulf Opportunity Zone Tax Credit program. ...
