One has nothing to do with the other.

The financial crisis was the result of expansion of credit. What I suggest is a reduction in the tax burden of owning a home.

There are many valid reasons to be against my suggestion; the subprime crisis is not one of them.

EDIT: There was definitely some sarcasm in my suggestion. This is a hot button topic for a lot of progressives because the impact of being able to right off one's interest payments is viewed as regressive. I see arguments both ways.
