Down at the Essence festival in NOLA, Harris tells participants (black folks) that home ownership is the key to wealth building. She is right about that but since 67% of black people live in an urban environment there is little chance for ownership. So Harris promises that as president she will allocate 100 billion dollars for BLACK people to get home loans and provide down payments. So my dad, who never grossed over 17,000 a year, would not qualify but almost any pro ball player will welcomed with open arms.
Let's not forget how the last housing bubble was created and what was the result. Giving people money to buy a house that they can't afford will end in default and cultural devastation. Imagine a single black mother with three kids...she dropped out of school and now she is given $20,000 as a down payment for a house in the suburbs. A house with a $1000 mortgage payment. What job is she going to find to make the payment? Suppose she decides to sell the house after six months and pocket the difference? Do the taxpayers get their money back?
So for Harris it is about race just like almost any other democrat but it also shows an economic ignorance on a grand scale.
