Quote from antitrust:
i would hope to be fair you would put all of the banking industry in prison as well,since they lend money they don't have
I think you're stretching the truth just a tad beyond the point of recognizability. But your use of a kernel of truth almost makes it edible.Quote from gnome:
I don't think that's quite right.
Bankers who made the loans (1) were forced to by Congress, and (2) knew they could offload ANY mortgage loan to Fannie/Freddie (Congress made that mandatory, too).
Therefore, bankers not only didn't need to be concerned about "prudent underwriting", they were DISCOURAGED from doing so. And that was the Congress' fault... specifically, the 1999 DemoCraps who initiated Afirmative Action Lending.
Quote from riggz:
it's easy to find someone to blame, and this lady should definitely go into foreclosure and starting renting, but i dont understand the whole "you're paying" for her house bit. are you talking about the thing that the president just passed? if so, there's no way this lady would qualify for that program.
