Rendargment is just ghost written by AEI, lol
 

simple and obvious causes:

1) 132 Federal and state liberal programs to regulate the free market in order get people into homes the free market said they could not afford. When they indeed could not afford the homes, of course, it had nothing to do with the liberal regulations but miraculously with the free market that no longer existed.

2) banks, mortgage companies, home buyers, and derivative/security buyers all over the world bought into the housing market, not the banana market, wheat market, or iron ore market counting on liberal regulation or subversion of the free market money supply to always inflate the value of the housing market. Obviously, this was a free market failure , according to liberals, even though they had eliminated the free market.

See why we are 100% positive that liberalism is based in pure ignorance. Is any other conclusion possible?
 
The fact is the book got it 100% wrong. Why was there a WORLD WIDE credit bubble if US Gov't policy forced Banksters to loan to the 'poor'? lol

The worldwide rise in house prices is the biggest bubble in history. Prepare for the economic pain when it pops

NEVER before have real house prices risen so fast, for so long, in so many countries. Property markets have been frothing from America, Britain and Australia to France, Spain and China. Rising property prices helped to prop up the world economy after the stockmarket bubble burst in 2000. What if the housing boom now turns to bust?

According to estimates by The Economist, the total value of residential property in developed economies rose by more than $30 trillion over the past five years, to over $70 trillion, an increase equivalent to 100% of those countries' combined GDPs. Not only does this dwarf any previous house-price boom, it is larger than the global stockmarket bubble in the late 1990s (an increase over five years of 80% of GDP) or America's stockmarket bubble in the late 1920s (55% of GDP). In other words, it looks like the biggest bubble in history.

The global housing boom In come the waves The Economist



The fact is the book got it 100% wrong. Why was there a WORLD WIDE credit bubble if US Gov't policy forced Banksters to loan to the 'poor'? lol
 
Why was there a WORLD WIDE credit bubble if US Gov't policy forced Banksters to loan to the 'poor'? lol

1) because most countries pursued the same policies
2) according to Greenspan there was a world wide glut of Western currency in China India and Japan that became easy credit in the West.

Any more questions,liberal.

It is clear to anyone who has studied the financial crisis of 2008 that the private sector’s drive for short-term profit was behind it.

More than 84 percent of the sub-prime mortgages in 2006 were issued by private lending. These private firms made nearly 83 percent of the subprime loans to low- and moderate-income borrowers that year. Out of the top 25 subprime lenders in 2006, only one was subject to the usual mortgage laws and regulations.

The nonbank underwriters made more than 12 million subprime mortgages with a value of nearly $2 trillion. The lenders who made these were exempt from federal regulations.

What's that, that loans done under Gov't regulations 2004-2007 were better performing by 450%-600%? lol

VA loans are a very small percentage of the overall mortgage portfolio, in fact when a VA loan is 30 days late the VA has created The Loan Guaranty Program to assist in helping veterans avoid foreclosure. The Zero Down Payment VA Loan doesn't really exist anymore. There is a funding fee that starts at 3% and varies depending on a number of issues, i.e. disability, number of times it has been used by the veteran, not to mention it is one of the toughest to make appraised value, and in most cases the seller will not come down so the veteran has to make up the difference out of pocket or walk away. But you would have to know what you where talking about. I'll keep teeing your dumb dumb ass up...

Your buddy Jimmy Carter the 2nd biggest f'up behind Oblammer to occupy the POTUS created CRA in '77. In 1995 Bubba Clintoon revised CRA and by the 4th quarter of '96 he created FHA Down Payment Assistance. This FHA program dominated the FHA portfolio for over the next decade plus. For as little as $0 down you could own the American Dream. During this housing boom FHA Loans were 40% of Loan Originations. These are simple facts you can find with your friend Google.

Just a little fact that you seem to not know about...

"Elimination of Non Profit Down Payment Assistance: On July 30, 2008, President Bush signed the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 which prohibits seller-funded DPA (Down Payment Assistance) for loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration. Prior to this bill, the seller could contribute up to 6% to the buyer to cover either a down payment or closing costs on an FHA loan. The changes took effect on Oct. 1, 2008. We provide this information for reference only. These grants are no longer available."

Funny how the IRS thought Bubba Clintoon's FHA DPA programs where a scam...

"On May 27, 2006, the IRS issued Revenue Ruling 2006-27, categorizing the non-profit seller funded down payment assistance programs (DPA programs) as "scams."[11] The IRS ruled that organizations such as AmeriDream and Partners in Charity are no longer eligible for non-profit status and are not acting as "charitable organizations" as defined by the IRS. This ruling was based largely on the circular nature of the cash flows, in which the seller pays the charity a "fee" after closing. Many believe that the "grant" is really being rolled into the price of the home. According to the Government Accountability Office, there are higher default and foreclosure rates for these mortgages.[12]"

The grant was rolled into the price and absorbed through the appraisal. Today there is a buffer between loan officer and appraisal group by design. LO's cannot speak directly with the appraiser, I wonder why?!?!?!

As I have pointed out before Sub Prime was a minimum 80% to 70% LTV before the FHA DPA mentality was born by Bubba Clintoon, but you would have to know what you were talking about to understand this...

The copy below is where it really sticks to Clintoon's ass, I can't make this shit up...

"Born was appointed to the CFTC on April 15, 1994 by President Bill Clinton. Due to litigation against Bankers Trust Company by Procter and Gamble and other corporate clients, Born and her team at the CFTC sought comments on the regulation of over-the-counter derivatives,[4] a first step in the process of writing CFTC regulations to supplement the existing regulations of the Federal Reserve System, the OCC, and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. Born was particularly concerned about swaps, financial instruments that are traded over the counter between banks, insurance companies or other funds or companies, and thus have no transparency except to the two counterparties and the counterparties' regulators, if any. CFTC regulation was strenuously opposed by Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan, and by Treasury Secretaries Robert Rubin and Lawrence Summers.[5] On May 7, 1998, former SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt joined Rubin and Greenspan in objecting to the issuance of the CFTC’s concept release. Their response dismissed Born's analysis and focused on the hypothetical possibility that CFTC regulation of swaps and other OTC derivative instruments could create a "legal uncertainty" regarding such financial instruments, hypothetically reducing the value of the instruments. They argued that the imposition of regulatory costs would "stifle financial innovation" and encourage financial capital to transfer its transactions offshore.[11] The disagreement between Born and the Executive Office's top economic policy advisors has been described not only as a classic Washington turf war,[9] but also a war of ideologies,[12] insofar as it is possible to argue that Born's actions were consistent with Keynesian and neoclassical economics while Greenspan, Rubin, Levitt, and Summers consistently espoused neoliberal, and neoconservative policies."

Are you having a problem with a rebuttal on USDA Loans Census Tract question I gave you? Did you finally figure out what the population limit is and that one of your hero's keeps signing Executive Orders forgoing the laws requirements on population?

The three year period you keep harping on had a long road before the Mortgage Meltdown and two of your hero's laid the eggs that ultimately hatched the 3rd QTR '08 collapse...

You're not alone, there are a lot of f'ing idiots that will keep you company that do not want to accept the burden is on Carter and Clinton...

It's pretty clear you're lineage was part of the "Flat Earth" society...

Also, I think it's safe to say you will probably never learn the Mortgage Meltdown of 2008 was born long before Bush 43 took office...

I am starting to feel embarrassed for you...

WEIRD YOU CUT OFF THIS THEN WENT ON ABOUT THAT GARBAGE THAT HAD ZERO TO DO WITH DUBYA'S SUBPRIME BUBBLE? WHY IS THATR? LOL

WINGNUTTER

Wall Street firms and the mortgage lenders they bankrolled led the growth of the market for subprime loans and other risky mortgages.

Government data show Fannie and Freddie didn’t take the same risks that Wall Street’s mortgage-backed securities machine did. Mortgages financed by Wall Street from 2001 to 2008 were 4½ times more likely to be seriously delinquent than mortgages backed by Fannie and Freddie.

Wall Street Not Fannie and Freddie Led Mortgage Meltdown - The Daily Beast



WHAT'S ALL THAT GARBAGE GOT TO DO WITH THIS?

Q When did the Bush Mortgage Bubble start?

A The general timeframe is it started late 2004.

From Bush’s President’s Working Group on Financial Markets October 2008

“The Presidents Working Group’s March policy statement acknowledged that turmoil in financial markets clearly was triggered by a dramatic weakening of underwriting standards for U.S. subprime mortgages, beginning in late 2004 and extending into 2007.”

Abstract:



U.S. policymakers often treat market competition as a panacea. However, in the case of mortgage securitization, policymakers’ faith in competition is misplaced. Competitive mortgage securitization has been tried three times in U.S. history - during the 1880s, the 1920s, and the 2000s - and every time it has failed.

Most recently, competition between mortgage securitizers led to a race to the bottom on mortgage underwriting standards that ended in the late 2000s financial crisis. This article provides original evidence that when competition was less intense and securitizers had more market power, securitizers acted to monitor mortgage originators and to maintain prudent underwriting.


However, securitizers’ ability to monitor originators and maintain high standards was undermined as competition shifted market power away from securitizers and toward originators. Although standards declined across the market, the largest and most powerful of the mortgage securitizers, the Government Sponsored Enterprises (“GSEs”), remained more successful than other mortgage securitizers at maintaining prudent underwriting.

You're not alone, there are a lot of f'ing idiots that will keep you company that do not want to accept the burden is on Carter and Clinton...

It's pretty clear you're lineage was part of the "Flat Earth" society...

Also, I think it's safe to say you will probably never learn the Mortgage Meltdown of 2008 was born long before Bush 43 took office...

Does motherto3 know how someone on the internet owns your ass?

On December 16, 2003, President George W. Bush signed into law the American Dream Downpayment Initiative, which was aimed at helping approximately "40,000 families a year" with their down payment and closing costs, and further strengthen America’s housing market.


This legislation complemented the President's "aggressive housing agenda" announced in a speech he gave at the Department of Housing and Urban Development on June 18, 2002

“We can put light where there’s darkness, and hope where there’s despondency in this country. And part of it is working together as a nation to encourage folks to own their own home.” — President Bush, Oct. 15, 2002

Q When did the Bush Mortgage Bubble start?

A The general timeframe is it started late 2004.

From Bush’s President’s Working Group on Financial Markets October 2008

“The Presidents Working Group’s March policy statement acknowledged that turmoil in financial markets clearly was triggered by a dramatic weakening of underwriting standards for U.S. subprime mortgages, beginning in late 2004 and extending into 2007.”



Q Did the Community Reinvestment Act under Carter/Clinton caused it?


A "Since 1995 there has been essentially no change in the basic CRA rules or enforcement process that can be reasonably linked to the subprime lending activity. This fact weakens the link between the CRA and the current crisis since the crisis is rooted in poor performance of mortgage loans made between 2004 and 2007. "

http://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/speech/20081203_analysis.pdf



"Another form of easing facilitated the rapid rise of mortgages that didn't require borrowers to fully document their incomes. In 2006, these low- or no-doc loans comprised 81 percent of near-prime, 55 percent of jumbo, 50 percent of subprime and 36 percent of prime securitized mortgages."

Q HOLY JESUS! DID YOU JUST PROVE THAT OVER 50 % OF ALL MORTGAGES IN 2006 DIDNT REQUIRE BORROWERS TO DOCUMENT THEIR INCOME?!?!?!?

A Yes.




Q WHO THE HELL LOANS HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO PEOPLE WITHOUT CHECKING THEIR INCOMES?!?!?

A Banks.

Q WHY??!?!!!?!

A Two reasons, greed and Bush's regulators let them.

What's that, that loans done under Gov't regulations 2004-2007 were better performing by 450%-600%? lol

VA loans are a very small percentage of the overall mortgage portfolio, in fact when a VA loan is 30 days late the VA has created The Loan Guaranty Program to assist in helping veterans avoid foreclosure. The Zero Down Payment VA Loan doesn't really exist anymore. There is a funding fee that starts at 3% and varies depending on a number of issues, i.e. disability, number of times it has been used by the veteran, not to mention it is one of the toughest to make appraised value, and in most cases the seller will not come down so the veteran has to make up the difference out of pocket or walk away. But you would have to know what you where talking about. I'll keep teeing your dumb dumb ass up...

Your buddy Jimmy Carter the 2nd biggest f'up behind Oblammer to occupy the POTUS created CRA in '77. In 1995 Bubba Clintoon revised CRA and by the 4th quarter of '96 he created FHA Down Payment Assistance. This FHA program dominated the FHA portfolio for over the next decade plus. For as little as $0 down you could own the American Dream. During this housing boom FHA Loans were 40% of Loan Originations. These are simple facts you can find with your friend Google.

Just a little fact that you seem to not know about...

"Elimination of Non Profit Down Payment Assistance: On July 30, 2008, President Bush signed the Housing and Economic Recovery Act of 2008 which prohibits seller-funded DPA (Down Payment Assistance) for loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration. Prior to this bill, the seller could contribute up to 6% to the buyer to cover either a down payment or closing costs on an FHA loan. The changes took effect on Oct. 1, 2008. We provide this information for reference only. These grants are no longer available."

Funny how the IRS thought Bubba Clintoon's FHA DPA programs where a scam...

"On May 27, 2006, the IRS issued Revenue Ruling 2006-27, categorizing the non-profit seller funded down payment assistance programs (DPA programs) as "scams."[11] The IRS ruled that organizations such as AmeriDream and Partners in Charity are no longer eligible for non-profit status and are not acting as "charitable organizations" as defined by the IRS. This ruling was based largely on the circular nature of the cash flows, in which the seller pays the charity a "fee" after closing. Many believe that the "grant" is really being rolled into the price of the home. According to the Government Accountability Office, there are higher default and foreclosure rates for these mortgages.[12]"

The grant was rolled into the price and absorbed through the appraisal. Today there is a buffer between loan officer and appraisal group by design. LO's cannot speak directly with the appraiser, I wonder why?!?!?!

As I have pointed out before Sub Prime was a minimum 80% to 70% LTV before the FHA DPA mentality was born by Bubba Clintoon, but you would have to know what you were talking about to understand this...

"Born was appointed to the CFTC on April 15, 1994 by President Bill Clinton. Due to litigation against Bankers Trust Company by Procter and Gamble and other corporate clients, Born and her team at the CFTC sought comments on the regulation of over-the-counter derivatives,[4] a first step in the process of writing CFTC regulations to supplement the existing regulations of the Federal Reserve System, the OCC, and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. Born was particularly concerned about swaps, financial instruments that are traded over the counter between banks, insurance companies or other funds or companies, and thus have no transparency except to the two counterparties and the counterparties' regulators, if any. CFTC regulation was strenuously opposed by Federal Reserve chairman Alan Greenspan, and by Treasury Secretaries Robert Rubin and Lawrence Summers.[5] On May 7, 1998, former SEC Chairman Arthur Levitt joined Rubin and Greenspan in objecting to the issuance of the CFTC’s concept release. Their response dismissed Born's analysis and focused on the hypothetical possibility that CFTC regulation of swaps and other OTC derivative instruments could create a "legal uncertainty" regarding such financial instruments, hypothetically reducing the value of the instruments. They argued that the imposition of regulatory costs would "stifle financial innovation" and encourage financial capital to transfer its transactions offshore.[11] The disagreement between Born and the Executive Office's top economic policy advisors has been described not only as a classic Washington turf war,[9] but also a war of ideologies,[12] insofar as it is possible to argue that Born's actions were consistent with Keynesian and neoclassical economics while Greenspan, Rubin, Levitt, and Summers consistently espoused neoliberal, and neoconservative policies."

"From 2000 to 2004, the total proportion of FHA-insured single-family purchase money loans that had an LTV ratio greater than 95 percent and that also involved down payment assistance, from any source, grewfrom 35 to nearly 50 percent"


"... Approximately 6 percent of FHA-insured loans received down payment assistance from nonprofit organizations in 2000, but, by 2004 this figure had grown to about 30 percent"


..."As figure 2 illustrates, the total number of FHA-insured loans originated fell dramatically between 2001 and 2005. Realtors that we spoke to from across the country told us that fewer homebuyers were using FHA-insured
mortgages, opting instead for conventional low and zero down payment
mortgage products and loans with secondary financing that do not require
private mortgage insurance. In addition, officials from government
agencies that provide down payment assistance noted either a decrease in
the use of FHA mortgage insurance, an increase in the demand for
conventional mortgages, or both"

WEIRD RIGHT?


"Although the number of FHA-insured loans decreased markedly from 2001
to 2004, the number of FHA-insured loans with down payment assistance
did not. As a result, these loans constitute a growing share of FHA’s total
portfolio"



WHAT? YOU MEAN THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH OVERSIGHT OF DUBYA

"States that have higher-than-average percentages of FHA-insured loans
with nonprofit down payment assistance, primarily from seller-funded
programs, tend to be states with lower-than-average house price
appreciation rates (fig. 3). From May 2004 to April 2005, 34.6 percent of all
FHA-insured purchase money loans nationwide involved down payment
assistance from a nonprofit organization, and 15 states had percentages
that were higher than this nationwide average. Fourteen of these 15 states
also had house price appreciation rates that were below the median rate for
all states. In addition, the eight states with the lowest house appreciation
rates in the nation all had higher-than-average percentages of nonprofit
down payment assistance. Generally, states with high proportions of FHA-
insured loans with nonprofit down payment assistance were concentrated
in the Southwest, Southeast, and Midwest"

OH SO NOT THE AREAS HIT HARD BY DUBYA'S SUBPRIME BUBBLE? LOL


AGAIN, GOV'T BACKED LOANS PERFORMED 450%-600% BETTER THAN PRIVATE MARKET LOANS 2004-2007, HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? lol

"What GAO Found United States Government Accountability Office Why GAO Did This Study Highlights Accountability Integrity Reliability
Highlights of GAO-06-24, a report to the Chairman, Subcommittee on Housing and Community Opportunity, Committee on Financial Services, House of Representatives

November 2005
MORTGAGE FINANCING
Additional Action Needed to Manage Risks of FHA-Insured Loans with Down Payment Assistance
The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) permits borrowers to obtain down payment assistance from third parties; but, research has raised concerns about the performance of loans with such assistance. Due to these concerns, GAO examined the (1) trends in the use of down payment assistance with FHA-insured loans, (2) the impact that the presence of such assistance has on purchase transactions and house prices, (3) how such assistance influences the performance of these loans, and (4) FHA’s standards and controls for these loans.
What GAO Recommends
The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development should direct the FHA Commissioner to implement additional controls to manage the risks associated with loans that involve down payment assistance. Such controls could involve considering the presence and source of down payment assistance when underwriting loans. Further, the FHA Commissioner should consider additional controls for loans with down payment assistance from seller-funded nonprofits. In written comments, HUD generally agreed with the report’s findings. HUD also commented on certain aspects of selected recommendations.
Almost half of all single-family home purchase mortgages that FHA insured in fiscal year 2004 had down payment assistance. Nonprofit organizations that received at least part of their funding from sellers provided assistance for about 30 percent of these loans and represent a growing source of down payment assistance. However, assistance from seller-funded nonprofits alters the structure of the purchase transaction. First, because many seller-funded nonprofits require property sellers to make a payment to their organization; assistance from these nonprofits creates an indirect funding stream from property sellers to homebuyers. Second, GAO analysis indicated that FHA-insured homes bought with seller-funded nonprofit assistance were appraised at and sold for about 2 to 3 percent more than comparable homes bought without such assistance.
Regardless of the source of assistance and holding other variables constant, GAO analysis indicated that FHA-insured loans with down payment assistance have higher delinquency and claim rates than do similar loans without such assistance. Furthermore, loans with assistance from seller-funded nonprofits do not perform as well as loans with assistance from other sources. This difference may be explained, in part, by the higher sales prices of comparable homes bought with seller-funded assistance."


OOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPSSSSSSSSSSSS.....

So 10 years after its origination and when 43 made it painfully clear Clintoon had mortgaged the future for votes, GAO says FHA DPA has higher delinquencies? But this ideology of ZERO DOWNPAYMENT is good in '95 but bad in '04?

Besides VA loans, which I will add you had no real clue about, what mortgage loan other than FHA DPA existed before the Sub Prime Zero Down, No MI, 560 FICO loan rolled out?

So let me get this straight, you believe no significant revisions were made to CRA under the Clintoon Admin, correct?

Regulatory changes 1995[edit]
In July 1993, President Bill Clinton asked regulators to reform the CRA in order to make examinations more consistent, clarify performance standards, and reduce cost and compliance burden.[51] Robert Rubin, the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, under President Clinton, explained that this was in line with President Clinton's strategy to "deal with the problems of the inner city and distressed rural communities". Discussing the reasons for the Clinton administration's proposal to strengthen the CRA and further reduce red-lining, Lloyd Bentsen, Secretary of the Treasury at that time, affirmed his belief that availability of credit should not depend on where a person lives, "The only thing that ought to matter on a loan application is whether or not you can pay it back, not where you live." Bentsen said that the proposed changes would "make it easier for lenders to show how they're complying with the Community Reinvestment Act", and "cut back a lot of the paperwork and the cost on small business loans".[36]
By early 1995, the proposed CRA regulations were substantially revised to address criticisms that the regulations, and the agencies' implementation of them through the examination process to date, were too process-oriented, burdensome, and not sufficiently focused on actual results.[52] The CRA examination process itself was reformed to incorporate the pending changes.[40] Information about banking institutions' CRA ratings was made available via web page for public review as well.[36] The Office of the
Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) also moved to revise its regulation structure allowing lenders subject to the CRA to claim community development loan credits for loans made to help finance the environmental cleanup or redevelopment of industrial sites when it was part of an effort to revitalize the low- and moderate-income community where the site was located.[53]
During one of the Congressional hearings addressing the proposed changes in 1995,
William A. Niskanen, chair of the Cato Institute, criticized both the 1993 and 1994 sets of proposals for political favoritism in allocating credit, for micromanagement by regulators and for the lack of assurances that banks would not be expected to operate at a loss to achieve CRA compliance. He predicted the proposed changes would be very costly to the economy and the banking system in general. Niskanen believed that the primary long term effect would be an artificial contraction of the banking system. Niskanen recommended Congress repeal the Act.[54]
Niskanen's, and other respondents to the proposed changes, voiced their concerns during the public comment & testimony periods in late 1993 through early 1995. In response to the aggregate concerns recorded by then, the Federal financial supervisory agencies (the OCC, FRB, FDIC, and OTS) made further clarifications relating to definition, assessment, ratings and scope; sufficiently resolving many of the issues raised in the process. The agencies jointly reported their final amended regulations for implementing the Community Reinvestment Act in the
Federal Register on May 4, 1995. The final amended regulations replaced the existing CRA regulations in their entirety.[55] (See the notes in the "1995" column of Table I. for the specifics)

And this little blip also happened under Clintoon...

Legislative changes 1999[edit]
In 1999 the Congress enacted and President Clinton signed into law the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, also known as the Financial Services Modernization Act. This law repealed the part of the Glass–Steagall Act that had prohibited a bank from offering a full range of investment, commercial banking, and insurance services since its enactment in 1933. A similar bill was introduced in 1998 by Senator Phil Gramm but it was unable to complete the legislative process into law. Resistance to enacting the 1998 bill, as well as the subsequent 1999 bill, centered around the legislation's language which would expand the types of banking institutions of the time into other areas of service but would not be subject to CRA compliance in order to do so. The Senator also demanded full disclosure of any financial "deals" which community groups had with banks, accusing such groups of "extortion"

Yes I do own your dumbass...

Oh one more issue, you continue to avoid the USDA Census Tract question?

WHAT THE FUKK DOES ALL THAT HAVE TO DO WITH HOW DUBYA CHEER-LED FOR THE BANKSTERS WHEN HOUSEHOLD DEBT DOUBLED HIS FIRST SEVEN YEARS AS HE GUTTED REGULATORS AND CHEERED ON THE SUBPRIME LOANS BUBBA?

It is clear to anyone who has studied the financial crisis of 2008 that the private sector’s drive for short-term profit was behind it.

More than 84 percent of the sub-prime mortgages in 2006 were issued by private lending. These private firms made nearly 83 percent of the subprime loans to low- and moderate-income borrowers that year. Out of the top 25 subprime lenders in 2006, only one was subject to the usual mortgage laws and regulations.


The nonbank underwriters made more than 12 million subprime mortgages with a value of nearly $2 trillion. The lenders who made these were exempt from federal regulations.
