Good read on a program intended to help low income people buy homes in rural areas that has spread to near millionaires in urban areas. Payments by the Dept of Agriculture to lenders on losses are rising fast and homebuilders are lobbying to extend the program that expires when the continuing...

Just went to their website and their motto is "a sustainable agriculture company" I laughed so hard. Maybe they meant sustainable profits because they force you to buy every year?
