House Passes Sweeping Housing Legislation
From the NYT:
"Lawmakers and experts described the legislation as a landmark shift in the government’s role in the housing market, extending a helping hand to both Wall Street and Main Street. They said it would rank in importance with the creation of the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation to prevent foreclosures in the 1930s as part of the New Deal, and legislation in 1989 responding to the savings and loan crisis."
Remember my post about whether or not we were witnessing a repudiation of neo-liberalism? Well, are we?

I have a hunch that your hunch is on to something.
