]]> Comment on Down Payment Assistance Now A Memory by Tamara Inzunza http://movingtonovabuzz.com/2008/09/05/down-payment-assistance-now-a-memory/#comment-199 Tamara Inzunza Fri, 12 Sep 2008 00:06:05 +0000 http://movingtonovabuzz.com/2008/09/05/down-payment-assistance-now-a-memory/#comment-199 I agree that if these programs are not available, the pool of buyers will indeed get smaller. However, I can also understand that if these programs have a high rate of default that the government would want to eliminate them. It's all about mitigating the losses right now, and the government is looking at everything...including the down payment assistance programs. What escapes me is why there is no push to make financial education mandatory is high school, and especially in college where credit card companies can easily entice college students with credit cards. When they get out of school, they are riddled with debt and the cycle of high debt and no savings has already begun.
