5/1/23.....Biden to hike payments for good-credit homebuyers to subsidize high-risk mortgages

[Hellokitty]

Which does not accrue interest.
Why does this concern you?

Because my husband buys too much car junk...

Sealy-The housing crisis was awful!!!

Also Sealy-Let's do it again!!!

Nothing bad ever happened on Clinton, Obama or Biden's watch. We should have elected Gore. Republicans make horrible presidents.

 

[ActionJackson]

Libertarianism doesn't work either.

Keeping what I earn or spending it on what I want has always worked fine for me. If others can't spend or save responsibly ... that shouldn't be my problem.

Sorry but look it up. Bush 1 invented NAFTA and free trade with China. Probably started on Reagan's watch. You cons can't pretend you were against it. You sure weren't in the 2000's. You loved Walmart and the cheap shit they were getting from China. You argued it made shit affordable and FREE TRADE and all that shit in the 2000's. Hell you even argued for illegals. They were only here doing jobs Americans won't do. Remember you said that? And Bill Clinton put labor and environmental protections in NAFTA before he signed it. Bush/Chaney removed those protections.

Free trade with china was a bipartisan policy

But clinton had the honor of putting the decision into action

So dont try and rewrite history to blame it all on republicans

Helping less qualified buyers get a house worked so well last time.

I loved watching my house drop in value by a third. So much fun.

Are you expecting Trump to trash the economy again? Ever notice that Republicans always hand Democrats a shitty economy? Bush 1 and 2 and Trump handed Biden a pandemic he was not handling well.

The economy was roaring before Clinton took office.

On Clinton's watch, what percentage of subprime mortgages were Fannie and Freddie
forced to purchase?

No, don't you try to pin NAFTA on Clinton just because he signed it. It was a done deal by then. And for the record, it was us liberals he pissed off back then when he signed it, not you. That's revisionist history. Unless you were a liberal like I was back then we was upset after he signed it? I doubt that. You probably don't even remember what your position was back then. Flip flop.

Wait. So you charge me a higher rate because other people don't make payments on time? So I'm paying for other people's bad behavior? Just because, for whatever reason, my credit score is the same as those people who tend to be late on payments? What ever happened to innocent until guilty? You know what I mean.

Now tell me this. If you are charging me extra because I'm in a category of people who tend to be late on payments, how is adding on $30 more a month a good idea? Seems like now you are making it even harder for them to make their payments.

This should be outlawed. A bill should be passed in congress stopping this practice. Of course Republicans will defend it.

This is a load of psycho babble

If you don't make payments on time you have a bad credit score

If you pay on time you have a high credit score

Money gets added on when you miss or are late on payments. Maybe pay your bills on time.

I have 1 credit card. I buy things with it 3 days before I get paid and then immediately after payment pay it off. My FICO score is 798

Stupid people think their credit card is anytime money, run up charges they can't pay back thus ruining their credit score

IDK but a lot happened after he left office. For example. Bush deregulated the banks. Said they didn't have to keep as much $ in the reserves in case of an emergency. Because his economy was flailing and you couldn't pretend it was good any more. The value of the dollar was so low. You even spun that. Said foreigners will come spend their money here if the dollar is low. I remember it all.

So anyways, when the Bush Great Recession hit, bankers didn't have enough emergency money in the till. Why? Bush Deregulations. Remember that?

What a joke. First of all, I make all my payments on time. So I should have PERFECT score. Do I? No. Why? Who knows.

In fact, I don't even know my score. What a scam. And of course you being a Republican will defend this hoax being perpetrated on the American people.

50%. Half of all their mortgage purchases had to be subprime.

Bush deregulated the banks.

Post your evidence.

Sorry, deregulation happened under Clinton.

Credit Karma will give you your score at no cost to you. Yes, it's correct.

You don't know your score tells me you're not financially astute. And I believe usury debts should be abolished so don't lump me in with your bs

I did not try to“pin” NAFTA on clinton alone

But he did sign it it and AlGore had his famous debate with Ross Perot on the Larry King show defending NAFTA

Remember the “Giant sucking sound?”

Thats part of Clinton's legacy that you are trying to forget

Credit scores are a Republican "hoax"?
Maybe if you made the effort to understand your credit score, you might not post such stupid shit.
Dumb ass.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

Oddly you can't actually address what I posted.

Banks wanted less regulations. Politicians wanted expanded housing. They both got what they wanted in a quid pro quo and it turned out really poorly.

Yes, I know what you’ve been told to believe.

 

[LibertyKid]

You said you didn't support it but helping unqualified buyers will increase home values.
How'd that work in 2008?

For the sake of fairness, these new rules are affecting federally backed loans: FHA, First time home buyers. What they are trying to do is socialize the closing costs for those loans backed by Fannie and Freddie.
They did not say anything about lessening buyer qualifications and giving loans out to those not qualified.

However, it is still unfair that someone who is more financially sound has to pay more for someone who isn't. It's absolute BS and another step towards socialism.

Sadly, the only joke is that you haven't taken the time to understand more about how the credit system works.
It's a calculated score based on many variables. The three primary credit bureaus all have a slightly different algorithm that calculates your FICO, but they are usually within 20-40 points of each other.

In fact, I don't even know my score. What a scam. And of course you being a Republican will defend this hoax being perpetrated on the American people.

There are plenty of resources out there. You say you have a Credit Card, my guess is the company has a free Credit review that you can see on their app. Most Credit Card companies offer this now free of charge so there is no need for "Credit Karma" or other "pay to see your credit rating" BS services.

Your ignorance and lack of research, understanding and or know how does not help you in anyway.
