Sounds like more of what didn't work the last time around... Putting people into homes that can't afford them. The tax break for investors has some merit but it will cause similar problems in that people that have no idea what they are doing will end up in the rental business resulting in more failures. Giving people $20,000 to go buy a house is just as dumb as "Cash for Clunkers" was. These government programs always fail when they try to pick winners and losers... The market place has to do that.
