“Speaker Gingrich has always believed that America should have programs to help low income people acquire the ability to buy homes.”

Sounds dumb to me. The same characteristics that cause such individuals to be low-income are likely to make them incompatible with responsible home ownership.

What and absurd statement. You should buy a home if you can pay for it and no other reason. Th govt. subsidizing the process is foolish because it is unsustainable.
Its just economics. Instead you feel you should make an inference on their ability to make money or undertake responsible home ownership? So everyone in America who could be rich is already so?
Or maybe I am over-reading into what you are saying. In which case, apologies.
And no I am not voting for RINO Newt, however awesome his debate performances.
