@phocks@bne.social I'm all for government provided home loans with fixed interest rates that aren't tied to "the interest rate". They could be provided by some sort of hypothetical "Government Bank of the Commonwealth".

@phocks@bne.social @chrisp@cyberplace.social That's what Fannie Mae is for (or is it Freddie Mac? One's for mortgages, the other's for student loans). We already have that, in other words, but we need it to be politics-proofed and we need them to actually work, safe from any GOP hobbling.
