Freedom Guard Issues of Concern

Democrats Vote Down 5 Percent Rule for mortgages In a bid to stem taxpayer losses for bad loans guaranteed by federal housing agencies, Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac, Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn) proposed that borrowers be required to make a 5% down payment in order to qualify. His proposal was rejected 57-42 on a party-line vote because, as Senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn) explained, "passage of such a requirement would restrict home ownership to only those who can afford it." I can't add anything to this.
