Red Blue state difference on the MIDReader comment on: Amity Shlaes on the Mortgage Deduction Submitted by lyle (United States), Aug 31, 2012 14:33 Combine the lower cost of housing in the Republican states with the low interest rates, and the elimination of the mortgage interest deduction won't make as much difference as on the high cost coasts which are the Democratic coasts. Today in the middle an average cost house might run up 6k in interests in the middle versus 20k + on the coasts. Note: Comments are moderated by the editor and are subject to editing.
