Mortgage Loans and the FRB

By Mijnadviseur

There has never been more confusion about mortgages than at this particular time in history. The collapse of the world economy can, in broad strokes, be laid at the feet of three parties; the Federal Reserve, mortgage lenders, and American home buyers. But mostly it was the fault of the private, for-profit company that manages our money supply - the Federal Reserve Bank.

The Federal Reserve is the party most responsible for destroying the global economy. This private corporation, charged by Congress with managing our money supply, cannot be trusted. Did you see Jon Stewart hammer Jim Cramer, the host of CNBC's Mad Money, on who did this? Well, the answer is, the Federal Reserve Bank did it. President Barack Obama's failure to replace Ben Bernake at Treasury and the failure of Congress to set about replacing the Federal Reserve Banking System are unconscionable.

Mortgage contracts were made with such low standards that mortgage brokers tried selling a subprime mortgage to every living, breathing person they spotted.. Millions who trusted their financial advisors had no idea there money was getting tied up in mortgages to unqualified people.

These shaky mortgages were then bundled and sold to financial firms as 'asset backed paper,' the now infamous 'toxic assets' we, the taxpayer, are buying from the banks. An other word for a so called toxic asses is a liability. And that's what the governement is buying. Your tax money is being used to the American government.

And lastly are the people who bought homes they couldn't afford, and then started whining that they didn't know they had an adjustable rate mortgage. If not, things that are bad now are going to get worse and they may not ever get better again. Does that sound pessimistic? Good, because if you are not pessimistic now, you are a fool. - 16931
