Right, which meant they wouldn't buy those loans if they're not getting credit for them.
They had already made the loans. Per your source.
No, that is not per my source. You're saying they made the loans before they made the loans! Did they make those loans from 2001-2004? Nope. Again, your sophistry is showing.
And they didn't buy those loans.
They did, at the end of the bubble, to the tune of 56% of their purchases.
At the end of the bubble, the poor loans had already been made and defaulted. And GSE loan performance was no better or worse than prior to the bubble. So GSE's made good loans, private labels (your guys) made shitty ones. You have been unable to reconcile the facts that show GSE loan performance remained the same throughout the Bush Mortgage Bubble, whereas private label performance got much, much worse. You don't reconcile that because doing so would undermine your argument that the loans GSE's made were the ones responsible for the collapse. The loan performance data shows that is not the case at all, and GSE loan performance during the bubble was the same as it was prior to the bubble.
So submitting an editorial absent of facts is not going to help you hereHUD didn't make them buy more weak mortgages? LOL!
There were no weak mortgages you shitbag. GSE loan performance throughout the Bush Mortgage Bubble was the same as it was prior to the Bush Mortgage Bubble. THAT IS WHAT THE FACTS SHOW YOU ASSHOLE.
So why is it that you absolutely refuse to accept the facts? Is your ego that fragile that you have to literally ignore things that undermine your belief system? Are you that much of a snowflake? Get over yourself.
How can you come to the conclusion that GSE's bear any blame for the mortgage bubble
Over half their purchases were weak mortgages. You think that leaves them blameless?!
They weren't "weak" mortgages. Why? Because they didn't default at rates higher than before the bubble. Again, that's in the chart that you seem determined to ignore because it destroys everything you are arguing here. So here's another instance of Conservative fantasy clashing with reality. Conservatives think that because private labels issued garbage subprimes, that means all subprimes are garbage. But the GSE loan performance shows that isn't the case at all. You seem unable to reconcile that, which is why you are flaming out big time on this thread. You are struggling to support your claim that the mortgages the GSE's made were "weak". They weren't. GSE mortgages had the same delinquency rates during the bubble than prior to it...and in some cases, the delinquency rate was lower than before the bubble. Which means the mortgages GSE's were buying were not weak, as the borrowers didn't enter delinquency at rates higher than before the bubble.
When faced with these facts, you choose to ignore them. Which makes you an ignoramus.
Also, GSE market share was cut from 70% of the market in 2003 to 40% of the market by 2005:
They were recovering from their accounting scandals. They ramped up their purchases just in time to catch more of the foamy top of the bubble.
No. You are wrong. First of all, whatever was going on in the accounting at the GSEs had no bearing on the number of subprime loans GSE's backed. The reason the GSE market share dropped to 40% by 2005 was because private labels were increasing their subprime originations. From 1993-2003, there were 1.1 million subprimes issued, which comes to about 110,000 a year. From 2004-2006, there were 800,000 subprimes issued, which comes to about 266,000 a year. So what reduced GSE market share was the amount of subprime loans that private labels were issuing. More than double the number there was before. In 3 years, Conservatives issued nearly as many subprimes as were issued in the ten years prior.
You're just making things up as you go.
No, that is not per my source.
How HUD Mortgage Policy Fed The Crisis
From Post #1077
Screw "Tax The Poor" Capitalism.
Moron.
At the end of the bubble,
In 2006, 56%. Durr.
There were no weak mortgages you shitbag.
The government took over the GSEs and gave them $100s of billions because they only bought good mortgages?
Have you always been a fucktard? Is it the result of a recent brain injury? I'm truly curious.
Sorry Cupcake, the GSE bough the best of he best, highest tranches in the bunch which is why they outperformed the private guys who bought the crap during Dubya pushing the Banksters subprime bubble.
They were done under by Dubya "believing" markets self regulate and Dubya's policy towards F/F
Bush's documented policies and statements in timeframe leading up to the start of the Bush Mortgage Bubble include (but not limited to)
Wanting 5.5 million more minority homeowners
Tells congress there is nothing wrong with GSEs
Pledging to use federal policy to increase home ownership
Routinely taking credit for the housing market
Forcing GSEs to buy more low income home loans by raising their Housing Goals
Lowering Investment bank's capital requirements, Net Capital rule
Reversing the Clinton rule that restricted GSEs purchases of subprime loans
Lowering down payment requirements to 0%
Forcing GSEs to spend an additional $440 billion in the secondary markets
Giving away 40,000 free down payments
PREEMPTING ALL STATE LAWS AGAINST PREDATORY LENDING
But the biggest policy was regulators not enforcing lending standards.
THINK F/F LIVE IN A BUBBLE AND AREN'T EFFECTED BY BAD GOP POLICY LIKE THE REST OF US ARE CUPCAKE?
FACTS on Dubya's great recession
Sorry Cupcake, the GSE bough the best of he best
Yes, when the government forced them to buy crappy mortgages, they only bought the best crappy mortgages.
It was awesome! LOL!
