Republicans in the House of Representatives are busily assembling several legislative proposals to reform the housing sector and reduce government support for the secondary market in home loans used by banks to manage their liquidity.

The President has also embarked upon an ambitious schedule of foreign tourism and domestic campaign stops, but nothing of substance.
