- Current discussions Getting the private market to take on more mortgage credit risk is a goal of many Republicans, even if it comes with higher mortgage rates, lower homeownership or even the death of the 30-year mortgage.
- In 2005 and 2006, the private market took on well over half of mortgages without any sort of government backstop, according to the Urban Institute Housing Finance Policy Center.
- Ben Carson, Trump’s nominee to be secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, told senators Thursday that the 30-year mortgage could survive without a government guarantee.
