    The only people at risk are those who could not afford the houses they bought and were only able to get in because of poor lending practice. They got an adjustable rate mortgage with the full understanding that they would be facing a rate jump after the initial teaser rate ran out. That's just plain stupidity. The businesses at risk are those who made risky loans. There is certainly no reason to bail them out; these are not the type of companies this country needs. It may sound cruel but you have to keep in mind that lowering rates also has an impact to the economy.

    Think of what happens when you lower rates.
    – It becomes more difficult to sell federal debt.
    -The USD would further weaken
    – Cost of goods rise…inflation.

    These problems will affect EVERYONE, not just the people who spent beyond their means.

    BTW, your scenario is unlikely as only a small percentage of the mortgages are those given to the unqualified. Not everybody is a CFC or WAMU. The "bubble" in certain areas of the country is not directly related to the credit squeeze and lowering rates would simply restart feeding the bubble.

    You have over looked the immigrant factor. To people from china and Europe our prices are cheap. And the United States is one of the few countries in the world where people who are not citizens can buy property.

    You are right to blame it on Greedy Realtors, Developers, Banks, and Politicians.

    Well, where is all this hyperinflation all the bears are talking about.

    What the hell is so new about the fractional reserve system ? I studied it 40 years ago in college. These people seen to think its was some secret just discovered.

    my teacher told me the terms right but my quote is against the media using the word resession (slower groth) as if its a real big deal they use it to cause fear of the economy and take economic controles

  6. DAR on July 19th, 2009 7:17 am

    Yes.

    What's most frustrating is the daily – if not hourly – discovery of yet another article or video showing a set of people in one party trying desperately to open the eyes of people of the other party on the issue. Dem's demanding restraint as repubs fight it. Repubs demanding oversight of Fannie and Freddie as dems fight it.

    What could be worse? That so many people remain unaware that Government – NOT an 'opposing party' – is the problem.

    We are the solution.

    The thing with major banks (Regions, Bank of America, etc.) are that a lot of times their guidelines are way stricter than if you were to go to a mortgage company. At major banks your credit scores have to be higher,employment history has to be longer, need more credit history etc. Most mortgage companies only need 2 years employment history,two years rentals history,12 months positive credit history. A friend of mine use to work for a bank in the mortgage department and I work for a mortgage company she would send me scores ranging from 595-650 because her bank wouldn't be able to get them approved and I would turn around and get them approved for 100% loans. Most banks only will deal with people with really good credit and excellent payment history. So should probably try a mortgage company. Mortgage companies deal with a lot of different banks/lenders who criteria for home loans and are not as strict as major banks. Good Luck !

    The CRA argument is baseless since 50% of subprime loans were made by mortgage service companies not subject comprehensive federal supervision and another 30% were made by affiliates of banks.

    REAL occurrence and HOW this mess happened:

    Here are some of the specific regulations of the financial system that the Bush administration has eliminated:

    - State Laws Against Predatory Lending: In 2003, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) issued regulations that exempted national banks from state laws against predatory lending. As Slate reported, “with the state laws nullified, national banks were free to engage in the sharp practices the states were hoping to stamp out.”

    http://www.slate.com/id/2182709/pagenum/2/

    - The Net Capital Rule: In 2004, the SEC loosened the “net capital” rule, which required “that broker dealers limit their debt-to-net capital ratio to 12-to-1.” The five investment banks that qualified for an alternative rule – Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley – were allowed “to increase their debt-to-net capital ratios, sometimes, as in the case of Merrill Lynch, to as high as 40-to-1.”
    http://www.nysun.com/business/ex-sec-official-blames-agency-for-blow-up/86130/

    - The Uptick Rule: In July 2007, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) eliminated the “uptick rule,” which “made it hard for speculators to push the price of a stock down after betting it would fall.” “Since then, legions of short sellers have progressively hammered Wall Street, contributing greatly to the current stock market crisis.”

    there is negative growth! Tell your teacher I gave him a big fat “F”

    Do your own research, don’t believe everything you learn in school, 1/2 the teachers are illiterate the other 1/2 have an agenda.
