When WILL OUR government wake up and change regulations on mortgages and loans?!?
Deal Score0
Lack of regulation and oversight has caused this mess, and still NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO PROTECT US!! Some people are sitting in mortgages that have creeped up $ 1000 a month more then 3 years ago./ WHY ARE YOU PROTECTING BIG BUSINESS WITH A 700 billion BAILOUT WHEN we the average american haven’t had any protections at all?!
it is all about the rich people. i think this whole thing was planned.
You are going to have to pull Bwany Fwank out of his mountain climbing underwear first!! They tried in 2002 and it did not work.
Congress is filled with unthinking posturing dolts.
The “teaser rate ARM” got us into this mess — people qualified for them at historic low rates instead of the rate that the loan would have during most of its lifetime. Most “lost the house” sob stories printed in the newspaper have the phrase “the rate reset to a higher amount.”
Congress should abolish the teaser rate ARM, which is a ticking time bomb, and strongly consider abolishing the ARM altogether.
P.S. I blame Greenspan.
When Democrats and Republicans both pull their heads out of their ***es, and listen to each other and compromise. That is how we start by fixing the problem.
the ONLY thing we as homeowners can do, is either let them have the houses back….
or suffer.
The Bush bill helps the Government because if they ” help” you, you will have to pay them a 3% exit fee when you sell the home, AND if you sell in 1 year after they basically bail you out from your current mortgage, they get 100% of your profit. 2 years after, 90%, and so on until the 5th year. At which point, they get 50% of your profit forever if the home is sold.
Happened at perfect timing! Anyone trying to sway an election, perhaps?
The people incharge of congress just don’t seem to care, since they are the once most responsible.
Here’s and informative read by a leftist journalist/author.
