Nearly half of all mortgage defaults from the housing bust might have been prevented by forthcoming consumer-protection regulations, but another 25% of loans that didn’t default might not have been made, according to an analysis by economists at Goldman SachsGS -1.07%.
Once again, you read, but do not comprehend. Just for you dimwit; I bolded the relevant parts that suggest this prattle is hypothetical in nature and not factual.
The Goldman analysis tries to quantify the impact of the forthcoming “qualified mortgage” regulations, which were part of the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial-regulatory overhaul. The law changed lending rules so that mortgage lenders are legally responsible for ensuring a borrower can repay a loan. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was tasked with writing rules for a “qualified mortgage” that lenders could make that would automatically satisfy the new ability-to-repay mandate.
a report from Goldman Sacks no less.
Once again, writing these rules would not have prevented the mortgage implosion which was the result of zero down interest only loans by unqualified purchasers or speculators. It would have done NOTHING to prevent the disaster caused by Democrats who played the race hustling game and diminished traditional loan approvals making it easier for less qualified individuals to obtain them in an attempt to be "arbiters" of what is fair.
Now I guess yu have to hate them too huh you fucking pablum lapper
No, but I am sure that you will continue ranting ignorant about things you know nothing about because you have the intelligence of an earthworm and the comprehension skills of a lemming.
Let me give you a tiny clue about how dumb this is:
The law changed lending rules so that mortgage lenders are legally responsible for ensuring a borrower can repay a loan.
How does one make a mortgage lender responsible for ensuring borrowers will pay back their loans? How does one know a mortgage holder will not lose their job? How does one prevent a borrower from deciding to buy that new car instead of paying his/her mortgage?
Such poorly thought out idiot laws only do one thing; destroy markets and make the economic recovery less possible.
But you're a brain dead dimwit who parrots leftist talking points like a trained circus monkey who cannot possibly comprehend anything you read, let alone think for yourself.
Who is responsible? For you dimwit:
2004 - The Democratic Majority in action. Using the word "lynching" in reference to the digraced Franklin Raines for cooking the books at Fannie Mae. Long before the $hit hit the fan and brought down Wall Street & banks that were forced to make these bogus loans
