The Mortgage Meltdown and Who Is To Responsible
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.
It was the Federal Reserve Bank, and only the Federal Reserve, that was responsible for increasing the ratio between how much money a bank had on deposit and how much it could lend to 30-1. When Jon Stewart repeatedly asked Jim Cramer, “Who thought a 30-1 leverage was a good idea?” he was referring to the Federal Reserve upping the deposit-to-loan ratio to 30-1 for American banks. The answer to who did it, Jon, is: The Federal Reserve Bank. 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.
When the FRB raised the ratio it flooded the market with more money, which went out in loans to unqualified buyers which were then bundled as the infamous ‘asset backed paper.’. Question: What is another word for a toxic asset? Answer: A liability. The government is effectively using your money to buy these liabilities named toxic assets.

Finally, the people who sit and tell CNN cameras that they didn’t know that they had an adjustable rate mortgage are simply too stupid to own a home. If not, things that are bad now are going to get worse and they may not ever get better again. These people should never have been allowed to purchase a home, and they certainly shouldn’t be rescued from foreclosure.
