The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) recently applauded the GOP Platform Drafting Committee for recognizing the importance of the mortgage interest deduction within its proposed platform.
"We are very pleased that the committee has recognized the crucial importance of the mortgage interest deduction," said NAHB Chief Executive Officer Jerry Howard. "At a time when so many are struggling to recover from the recession, this action helps cement much-needed political support for a tax break that primarily benefits middle-income families."
