The biggest problem, at least as I see it, with government intervention in mortgage rates is... well... government intervention. I just don't see how they could swing something like that and provide anything useful without lobbyists for the banks getting in the way.
The other problem is that while I would like to think that people would make smart use of the money they would save on interest, I just don't see that happening. It was irresponsible spending on both the part of the consumer and the banks that got us into this mess in the first place and I don't think giving people even more money to waste is really going to solve anything. It's not that I don't think some people would be smart with it, I just think that too many people would squander the opportunity on immediate gratification purchases.

Bring back  Windows™ XP and 7. 
Windows™ Vista and Windows™ 8 is a pain in my a$$! 
Windows™ 10 is only slightly less annoying! 
Windows™ 11 is garbage! 
Much to my surprise, I'm actually quite enjoying Linux!
