As a renter, who cannot afford to buy, I am getting tired of hearing about "homeowners" [View All]

A very large chunk of Americans are renters.

I am 29, have a "good" job, and cannot even begin to think about buying - "starter" homes and condos in my region start about $200,000 out of my price range. Nevermind that like most middle- and lower-class college graduates my age, I have significant student debt and very limited job options at this point. I was also smart enough not to try to get a 120%, 50-year, variable rate mortgage.

I realize that a lot of homeowners who did nothing wrong, who are responsible, are in a position to lose their homes, and I want the government to do something about it. But I am tired of all the pandering to "homeowners" and resent the implication that my money will be used to bail them out. Who's going to bail me out? When do I get to own a home?
