| MBA Advocacy Update Summary: February 8, 2010
Fresh off the president's first State of the Union address, the Obama administration last week unveiled its proposed $3.8 trillion budget for fiscal year 2011. The budget included a reduction of the mortgage interest deduction for higher-income tax filers, as well as the recently-announced tax on larger financial institutions. It also included new funding for housing counseling, mortgage fraud prevention, foreclosure avoidance and improved risk management systems at FHA.
The budget was as noteworthy for what it did not include: a proposal to deal with the status of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. MBA was quick to provide a summary and analysis of the budget for its members. Meanwhile, the Senate Banking Committee continued its work on regulatory reform, hearing testimony from former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker on the administration's newest proposal to limit the size and scope of financial services firms.
