How To Solve The U.S. Housing Problem And Avoid A Recession: A Revived HOLC And RTC

Abstract: The Federal Reserve pumping in more liquidity and the government's fiscal "stimulus" plan does not directly address the housing insolvency problem for millions of U.S. households. Instead, the author suggests a comprehensive program to create a major federal facility to refinance mortgages at low rates and extended maturities, and to finance new investment in private sector housing.
