Summary

David Bahnsen (TheBahnsenGroup.com) dismantles the populist economic shortcuts coming out of Washington—warning that banning institutional homebuyers, capping credit card rates, and manipulating mortgage markets won’t fix housing affordability or debt, but will distort supply and invite unintended consequences.

1:58.0

What did he say the problem was?

1:59.9

How did we get to this?

2:01.7
