KEY VOTE ALERT s 2011 Congressional Scorecard. This housing rider would reinstate the recently expired conforming loan limit to $729,750, an increase from the previous limit of $625,500. By increasing the limit, the government increases the risk that taxpayers will end up on the hook for non-performing loans. Government housing subsidies greatly contributed to the 2008 housing crisis. We should not make that mistake again expecting a different result. A better approach would be to end the subsidies completely to avoid future bailouts and market distortions. Our Congressional Scorecard for the 112th Congress provides a comprehensive rating of how well or how poorly each member of Congress supports pro-growth, free-market policies and will be distributed to our members and to the public.
