I just don't see how this can be a direct loan program - who in the federal government has the infrastructure for that? The Treasury department damn sure isn't geared up to accept millions of credit applications.

That just cannot be right.

Only way I could see is if they use existing USDA/HUD/whatever infrastructure. If so watch out.
