Is the FTHB Tax Credit Stealing From Future Demand?

Instead of asking if we are stealing from future demand, maybe the better question is will there be any future demand? If you agree with ex-FHFA regulator James Lockhart's outlook..will that demand even be able qualify for a mortgage? There are bigger problems than the expiration of the $8,000 tax credit. Maybe those issues should be addressed too....
