Many inside-the-beltway think tanks and advocacy groups appear to support Johnson-Crapo, in part because the bill calls for some modest funding streams for affordable housing and community development. However, opposition from the libertarian right, led by House Republican Jeb Henserling,\u0026nbsp;argues for a system in which the private sector takes all of the gains but also accepts the full losses. Immergluck, however, believes that this is na\u00efve. The housing market is too big\u2014and intertwined with the broader economy\u2014to fail, he argues.
