It's about time someone thought about revising the upper limits of FHA loans. Workers in states like California and New York have been frozen out by high prices in those states. Move away you say? Don't forget these big, dense states also contribute hugely to national GDP!

Jim's comment is good one and I support it. He says it's about time that someone thought about revising the upper limits of the FHA loans. I live in New Jersey and I want my state to survivie and thrive.

I think if you folks in CA and NY would allow your residential properties to come to a level that more people could purchase them is a more realistic idea than going for higher limits of FHA loans.
After all these programs were never for folks to get $400,000 loans. They are for people who actually need help with purchasing a modest first home.
I don't think any of this is a good idea. After all, hotel maids in NYC get $22 an hour and in California, Walmart has to pay $18 per hour to their employees. Now we are supposed to get "welfare" to the rich????????
I think the government again is trying to make sweetheart deals for the truly wealthy. Sorry folks, this has got to be a joke.

The govt put America in this mess with sub-prime lending!!! They made it so easy for everyone to get a mortgage, even those who couldnt afford it

Citizen taxpayers should not be responsible for bailing out those who CHOOSE to live beyond their means. Period.

Is this a bailout of sorts? I hope so, because our market in Seattle is starting to show signs of fatigue...we need a boost.

Elain, the rich have ALWAYS got the majority of welfare.
Kim, we pay congress, don't we ?
Jim, in my fathers childhood, California population was smaller then Iowa. Are you saying it contributes more tax money then it takes? Check your math!
