Time to Reform the Mortgage Interest Deduction
The Hill, Feb. 6, 2017–Diane Yentel; Mark Calabria
Yentel, with the National Low Income Housing Coalition, and Calabria, with the Cato Institute, call the mortgage interest deduction “a wasteful use of federal resources that encourages households to take on higher levels of debt, disrupts the housing market by increasing costs for everyone, and mostly benefits those who do not need federal assistance to live in a stable home.”
