No actually not http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_home_ownership_rate

Italy, Norway, UK, Spain, Ireland - Even SLOVENIA have home ownership rates HIGHER than the USA (and at 62% so does Portugal and Finland)


So its not an issue of "free government cheese". In fact the USA's drop in home ownership would have been MUCH GREATERwithout "free cheese" - becuase unemployment payments are the thing that has kept many from defaulting on their mortgages.


FACTS MATTER Sgt. Made up crap? Not so much

"Made up crap" is their stock in trade. I never open a Winger post expecting anything except bullshit and I am rarely disappointed.

Curiously even Norm Orenstein of the AEI is starting to recognize that.
