Government-backed liar loans
At least one good thing came out of the housing fiasco. We’ll never have to clean up after another mess made by mortgage brokers selling liar loans to borrowers who can’t afford to repay.
No more exploitation of the dreams of new entrants to the middle class, built on the fantasy that they can afford a home that sports a price that has been inflated by decades of government loan subsidies.
No more Fed buying blown up asset-backed securities that backed bogus sub-prime mortgages to rescue banks that should be allowed to fail.
That’s all behind us. We learned our lesson! The government will prohibit these kinds of loans, prosecute violators, and never allow this mistake to happen, again.
Wait. What?
Under new
The Making Homes Affordable Again to People Who Can’t Afford Them program the government is now not only allowing liar loans, it’s backing them with
your tax dollars.
