Who was the first one to say everyone in America should own their own home? After that was said, their was no longer any down payments on a mortgage, the loan qualifications were relaxed, and building accelerated. big mistake, you can only build so many units a year for responsible borrowers. After the foreclosures started on unresponsible people, and everyone related to construction, which is almost every industry, started getting laid off, the foreclosures accelerated.
