Housing Boom and Bust. The same discredited assumptions and the same disregard of repercussions.

Lmao!!!

"Yep.

This administration has engaged in more disastrous monetary policy in 6 months than I've seen in my lifetime. Combine this with the fact that there is still a hell of a lot of residential real estate to crash and burn and commercial real estate and all the other issues still out there, we are not remotely through the worst of this mess, not even close.

Had the Marxist-in-Chief done nothing, I would have said recovery late this year to mid next, but with the crap they've done, it's exacerbated the problems, and now they will be more drawn out and even worse.

Dow is either going to be at 4k before this is all over, or inflation will devalue it to the equivalent value.

Tough times ahead because America decided to give Jimmy Carter a second term."



Sheriff Joe is hilarious!!

read some of the thread....DonkStomper = Festeringzit right?

Not sure but festeringZit does post on the last page calling Guesser a vile sewer rat. Pretty much festeringZit's go to move, since he's too dumb to have a coherent argument.

Plenty of "conservatives" loved creating a housing bubble.....Growth fuels our economy more than sustainability (in the short-term) and this creates a lot of interest in bubbles being created, whether intended or unintended.

Like Sowell says in the piece...Builders, lenders, investors....Who the hell is gonna object to soaring asset prices as it is happening? Unfortunately not many...

"Ownership society" as that 1 WSJ economist who is a republican called it (forget his name)

Of course not - it's called pure greed and human nature.

But who sets the rules and controls interest rates (the level of 'greed')? The free market or Big Govt?

Anyone who believes they can socially-engineer outcomes by 'outsmarting' the market is a fool (mostly academics who's ideas are mostly abstract ideology insulated from real world consequences).

Who sent the link? Who is the snitch?

And a 9 year old thread to boot. There are too many people with too much time on their hands in today’s society.

I’ll bet the person that PMed AK is tenured Liberal Arts college prof.

Liberal Arts college prof = 4 years of being lectured by the Jon Grubers of the world

The housing industry was perfectly fine with government involvement. It wasn't until Wall St and the private sector got their greedy little hands involved did things go to shit. As long as we keep an eye on private mortgage lenders, the housing market should be fine.

You are a laughable, clueless idiot. You don't even own a home.

But please, go on with silly, generic statements like this and pretend they correspond to reality.

Well studies before the housing bust show that these government programs actually were legit because of how much regulation there is behind them. Default rates weren't extraordinarily high, the government backs the loan, which takes the risk away from the banks. The government wasn't even allowed to deal with the sub prime junk loans that the private mortgage lenders were creating. Even the poor people who take advantage of these loans still have to prove they are credit worthy to the government. Most of the loans they gave in these programs were prime loans.

You do nothing but come on this Web site and lie all day.

You are so fucking dumb it is surreal.

Here is the proof of your dumb shit lie. Now this is the part where you start arguing that when Fannie actually bought Sub Prime loans they weren't actually dealing with the banks. {Note: Fannie and Freddie bought 25.2% of the record $272.81 billion in subprime MBS [mortgage-backed securities] sold in the first half of 2006}

Or something.

The government totally wasn't allowed to deal with the subprime loans guys!!! [In 2005, Fannie and Freddie purchased 35.3% of all subprime MBS]

I mean, other than buying them, that is.

Why does this idiot little kid comment on these topics?

In 2004, as regulators warned that subprime lenders were saddling borrowers with mortgages they could not afford, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development helped fuel more of that risky lending.
Eager to put more low-income and minority families into their own homes, the agency required that two government-chartered mortgage finance firms purchase far more "affordable" loans made to these borrowers. HUD stuck with an outdated policy that allowed Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to count billions of dollars they invested in subprime loans as a public good that would foster affordable housing.

From 2004 to 2006, the two purchased $434 billion in securities backed by subprime loans, creating a market for more such lending.

Why does this idiot little kid comment on these topics?

Between 2005 and 2008, Fannie purchased or guaranteed at least $270 billion in loans to risky borrowers — more than three times as much as in all its earlier years combined, according to company filings and industry data.


We didn’t really know what we were buying,” said Marc Gott, a former director in Fannie’s loan servicing department. “

Capitol Hill bore down on Mr. Mudd as well. The same year he took the top position, regulators sharply increased Fannie’s affordable-housing goals. Democratic lawmakers demanded that the company buy more loans that had been made to low-income and minority homebuyers.

Good thing there was like so much super-duper regulations and stuff! I mean, you had to prove to the government that you were credit worthy!

What a fucking moron this kid is.

Unreal.

My two fav shows of all time both involved HUD scams. All I need to know about how corrupt that agency is.
