A presidential deficit commission proposed reducing the mortgage-interest deduction, the largest government subsidy for housing. The real-estate industry is warning that any policy changes could be disastrous for the beleaguered housing market, dissuading would-be buyers and depressing prices further. On the other hand, lawmakers are asking, does it really make sense to incentivize people to take out loans? And might the elimination of this deduction go a long way towards reducing the deficit? What do you think? Should the government be underwriting the American dream, to the detriment of taxpayers? Or would changes to the mortgage tax deduction imperil the economic recovery by depressing consumer demand and lengthening the construction-industry downturn?
