This Week in Government Failure

Posted by Tad DeHaven

Over at Downsizing Government, we focused on the following issues this week:

• Complications with the homebuyer tax credit is evidence that the government needs to get out of the social engineering business.
• The Federal Housing Administration’s new “stringent” standards aren’t stringent enough.
• Federal transportation follies point to the need for privatization.
• The Economic Development Administration still “deserves to die.”
