Robert,
I agree with your take on the housing market today. The idea of America becoming a renting country is disgraceful to America, this is what we have wanted to steer clear of. If things continue this way we may be at a major disadvantage. I appreciate this post because people need to hear about what is going on with the housing market. T
This really a alarming condition, if these rules start coming down after the election on Nov. 6, the administration is going to face not only a protracted unemployment of 8 percent, but a draconian drop in consumer confidence as housing becomes out of reach for almost everybody.

Let the mortgage lenders lend to those they wish to lend to. Get the government out of the private lenders market. If the government wants to, let the government regulate the hell out of Fannie/Freddie/FHA, but leave the private lenders alone. If the private lenders get in trouble, hell, let’em collapse. Other investors will pick up the pieces. The homes, the dirt will not disappear. Investors will snatch up the assets and life goes on.
Why must the government be involved in everything?
If the government would come down really hard on the fraudsters who sold the faulty mortgage backed securities and the mortgage brokers who made the fraudulent loans and give the PEOPLE some really serious prison time – instead of just assessing fines on the companies – all the goverment regulations would not be necessary.
The traders in securities were the criminals and made millions, billions of dollars, yet no one goes to the big house for 20-50 years. The government lets the companies pay a million dollar fine and the criminals laugh all the way to the bank.
Crime DOES pay if you steal enough!
