Legislature to retroactively sanction MERS?

13-Nov-10

I would not be surprised. Holding the industry accountable…well, that would just be too hard. Instead, they will probably “whitewash” the whole thing, forgive the billions in fees owed to the States, and give the banks some more money for their troubles.

Mozilo must pay $67.5M, but “nothing to see hear” on VIP mortgages…

16-Oct-10

So Angel Mozilo gets a hefty fine (well deserved), but the Senators who got sweetheart deals…well, there’s nothing to see there, so move on. UPDATE: The rabbit hole gets deeper, folks. Mozilo will not be required to pay a dime. Countrywide will pay $25M from a fund established to bail out the company from its […]

Underwater mortgages strain lives, economy…

19-Sep-10

…this is an argument I was making a couple of years ago, when the market went south and the banks started screwing with people. There are going to be significant long-term ramifications of this bubble bursting. This is only the start. On another note, it’s been…interesting as well as extremely aggravating…to see the mood shift […]

TheStreet: A Bitter Pill for Mortgage Borrrowers

Any article that starts with, “Top banking executives said…” is automatically suspect. That said, the government is not itself hindering the recovery; the real culprit is Wall St. They could resolve this thing quickly; however, the economic incentive is not there, so they will not. This is not necessarily wrong, it’s just inhuman. Bookmark on […]

Dodd: concern about Warren, blah, blah, blah…

17-Sep-10

…the only reason any member of the legislature opposes Elizabeth Warren is money. They are so buried in the pockets of special interests it’s a wonder they even bother to put on a show. With this move, President Obama sends the message that his agenda for change is officially dead. Appointing Ms. Warren as an […]

No surprise: fed mortgage program a dud…

21-Aug-10

…I am here to tell you, from first-hand experience, the problem is not homeowners who are unwilling or unable to make payments, the problem is the banks giving homeowners the run around. They don’t call back, they lie, they give you bad information, they make promises they can’t back or won’t back up, and one […]

Harry Reid is a donut hole…

15-Aug-10

…that is, wasted space.  Nevada, if you reelect this guy, I am done with you. Seriously. I will change my state of residence and pay taxes to another state. And I hate taxes. That’s how much you will suck if you keep this guy in office. Bookmark on DeliciousDigg this postRecommend on Facebookshare via RedditShare […]

Rangel: Don’t leave me swinging in the wind…

11-Aug-10

…this guy is a hoot.  He’s asking for a pass, or a break, on ethics violations.  Who does he think he is, a member of Congress? Bookmark on DeliciousDigg this postRecommend on Facebookshare via RedditShare with StumblersTweet about itSubscribe to the comments on this post
