Let me put this way to you in-case you missed econ class in school.......So what's the difference between 68 billion tax dollars going to a tax break for homeowners?
Versus welfare?
They both are government handouts
A house is more beneficial to the state than welfare....and you ask why?
A house can appreciate in value and when sold...the states gets money when the final sale is taxed.
There is an incentive for the state to give tax breaks to entities which provide it money.
That's why big corporations and big oil get tax breaks in most countries because the government stands to make more than what's it's giving out.
Clearly this is not the case with welfare( and I'm not bashing welfare...there some people who truly need help).
No one will even make the comparison you are making in real life...this is just an internet debate and I don't even know why I'm participating
