George Bush - soon to be on the run after bankrupting blacks and hispanics with his Great Housing Ponzi Scheme


Here's George W. Bush, The Worst President Ever, pumping the housing Ponzi Scheme in 2002, launching his Big Con to get the last suckers in (blacks, hispanics and "subprimers") with toxic loans that would end up bankrupting them and taking down the economy:

"I've set this goal for the country. We want 5.5 million more homeowners by 2010 -- million more minority homeowners by 2010. Five-and-a-half million families by 2010 will own a home. That is our goal. It is a realistic goal. But it's going to mean we're going to have to work hard to achieve the goal, all of us. And by all of us, I mean not only the federal government, but the private sector, as well.

George Bush yesterday, probably understanding now that he fuc*ked up royally:

"I like the fundamentals. They look strong but there are new signals that cause concern and one of the signals is the fact the housing market is soft. It's going to take a while to work through the downturn"

In the end, in this case I'm not sure if Bush was corrupt, or if he was just stupid. I'm leaning toward stupid. History will not be kind.

Lookie there. A chimp wearing a suit.

The Bush Cheney crime families are going to have to print a lot more money if they think anyone is going to be buying real estate.

I think they should be planning their early retirement to their 100,000 acre ranches in Paraguay.

Keith, sub-prime = BAD credit!

Most of my sub-prime clients 65% were white. No joke. So please let's not make this a race issue.

As for minority doesn't that include everybody who is NOT white?!

FYI: The Mortgage Bankers (ie; Countryslime, New Century, Ameriquest, etc.) PUT everyone including Prime and Alt-A in Sub-prime LOANS!!! They did NOT give a $hit!

Frank R said...

Blacks and hispanics? Ha? Now this is a racial issue?

Everyone I know who is going bankrupt thanks to a toxic loan is white. Look at Scottsdale - it's the housing crash poster boy and the place is white as snow. Geez.

But I forgot - it's 2008, which means:

1. Everything is Bush's fault. Everything.

2. All homedebtors will insist they're smart and we're stupid.

These two constants will never change, ever.

Let me get on the bandwagon.

Bush is stupid, no doubt about that. But much smarter people ran a con game on a good part of the electorate that was just way too eager to be conned.

They believed the smack.

Then of course, they got smacked down, along with the rest of us who didn't vote for, let's say it together:

"the worst President in the history of the United States".

Actually, I'm upping the ante. I think Bush is the worst elected leader in the history of modern western democracies.

Now is that stupid or what?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but democrats have been pushing for more idiotic homeownership opportunities for years. This was not just GW's idiotic plan. Wanting to help people own a home is not a crime. A crime is providing programs and approving loans that gave people 100% loans when they could not even pay their credit card bills within 30 days of the due date.

Had the loans not been extended, I'm sure the "racist" tag would have been thrown around rather freely at lenders and those evil people denying loans. Better fire up a congressional hearing to find out why Timmy and Sally could not get approved for that $400,000 mortgage with no savings and a 580 credit score.

KWEEFER,

The Democraps were saying the same shit. This was an equal opportunity fuck up on both sides of the aisle. Remember, Jesse Jackson was bithcing that banks weren't lending to blacks. Well this is what happens when blacks get loans. Happy now Jesse?

This is part of a final push to isolate a majority of America into a debt-enslaved inferior class. Conversely, there will be a tiny elite majority who will scoop up all the assets/resources from the desparate debtors. It's the only way to divy up the limited resources left in this country/world.

It's what happened in the Great Depression, except back then it was to steal ownership of industry and finance. This time it will be for the resources needed for life: food, water, electricty, high-ground.

All the moves in the past few decades have been a slick front to destroy the middle class and designate a superior elite class. We slept through it unfortunately.

This will most likely end up with lots of dead poor people.

WAKE THE EFF UP...they're coming for you!

Paranoid_or_awake may have a point. Eventually even if its a couple of years from now, someone is going to start buying up homes at fire sale prices that will turn them a tidy profit a year or two after that. Maybe thats what the large equity firms are waiting for. Instead of buying millions of shares of a company's stock, buy homes at 50% off their high, then sell them a year or two later for 20-30% more than what they paid for them. That still works out to a 20-30% drop from a home's high price at the height of the boom.

"All the moves in the past few decades have been a slick front to destroy the middle class and designate a superior elite class."

Warren Buffet said that this is the best time ever to be super rich. There is a huge push to consolidate wealth into an untouchable elite class. Look at the tax breaks for hedge fund managers, the lower taxes for wealth accumulation vs income from employment. The biggest victory for the uber rich will be a total repeal of the estate tax which will allow all of this obscene wealth to be passed from generation to generation. The so-called death tax is probably the fairest tax ever. Taxing huge amounts of wealth generated from the American economy when someone dies harms no one. Dead people can't pay taxes so that argument is purely inflammatory propaganda. Dead people are only good at doing one thing. Decaying. The tax is on heirs who did nothing to create the wealth and even with a high tax recieve free money for simply being born to wealthy families.

Yup, just go back and look at what happened in the 60's and 70's and the guarantees made by FHA for minority mortgages - way back when. Same difference. I think LBJ pushed alot of that crap with the "Great Society" notions and a lot of developers and real estate agents made out well servicing the white flight to the suburbs.

"there are new signals that cause concern and one of the signals is the fact the housing market is soft."
-------------------------------------

Is it worth my time to work through the logic with Mr. Bush?

Ok, here goes.

Me: Mr. Bush, when you say the housing market is "soft" you mean the prices are declining drastically, correct?

Bush: Yes, yes that's absolutelely correct. That's preciselically what I'm saying the problem is.

Me: And isn't it true that after house prices drop significantly then many MORE average Americans will be able to afford to buy a home?

Bush: Well, supposibly that could be true.

Me: So then think about it for a second Mr. Bush, if house prices drop enough, then millions of people could then afford to buy homes. You could still see your goal of 5.5 million new homeowners by 2010.

Bush: Yes, yes that makes absolutelilly perfect sense, ...
but ... how do we make the lenders and the big business guys rich at the same time?

Me: That's it. I give up. LOOK! Someone just flushed a pheasant out of the field!

Bush: I got 'im!

Maybe not a crime, but name one way the gov helps people own a home that doesn't result in homes being more expensive. It's a paradox, but probably the best way to help people own a home is to make mortgages HARDER to qualify for through tighter regulation; they would be LESS expensive!

good article

Blacks, Banks and "Institutional Racism"

What of black-owned banks? Black banks, in fact, reject black applicants at a greater rate than do non-black-owned banks. Do black-owned banks charge black borrowers the lower, same or higher interest rates as charged by non-black-owned banks? And if the lawyer's claims of discrimination are accurate, where are the entrepreneurial blacks, eager to start and run banks to cater to black borrowers getting ripped off by non-black banks?

Anonymous said...

Here's a take you've never heard of before.

The REASON they wanted blacks and hispanics and the poor in general in homes is a classic case of mixing up cause and effect.

They had polling data that basically said that "people in houses vote republican".

So, how do you get more republicans? How do you get more blacks to vote republican? PUT THEM IN HOUSES!! Brilliant!!

The cause of people in houses voting repub. was not that they owned houses. It's just that people with money, jobs, etc. and families who vote republican anyway typically own houses.

Oh, well.

I didn't pull the race card folks, I just told you what Bush said:

"million more minority homeowners by 2010"

Last I checked the two biggest minority groups in the us are blacks and hispanics

Now, the question remains, did the GOP and Bush want minorities to get into homes (regardless of the fundamentals, regardless of their ability to pay) out of the kindness of their hearts, or did they simply just want these last suckers in so that The Man would make a bunch of money?

couple of things:

1) there is no doubt that the housing activists and groups like ACORN,Rainbow PUSH, etc. are also to blame for this mess by constantly saying that minorities were being discriminated against with housing loans. we all read those newspaper articles about those studies done by "such and such group" that "proved" minorities were being shafted on loans...higher interest rates, not being able to get them, onerous documentation requirements, etc. (of course, the liberal press writing these articles never bothered to tell us that 50% of the minorities trying to get loans were illegal aliens...). while this is not the only reason for "the mess", it is certainly a contributing factor since it drove public policy efforts to get poor people to buy homes.

2) re: the post about Bush saying us from the Jihadists: that is absolutely CORRECT! There really are so many people on this board with a fanatical, almost cultist, hatred for Bush it's scary. The War on Terror must be fought, only because those savages want to fight it and it won't stop until they're eradicated. Bush has done some idiotic things: signing mccain-feingold, NCLB, pushing for illegal alien amnesty, etc. But the WOT is definitely a plus for him, and the world. Decades from now, history will prove him right on this one.

Dino said...

So Bush is damned if he does damned if he doesn't. When he didn't personally airlift blacks from the Katrina flood - that some of you believe he caused - it was proof he hates blacks.

But then he encourages blacks to become homeowners and gives them program after program to help that process. He also hates blacks.

I mean what the fuck? Is it Bush's fault blacks went out and got a loan they couldn't afford? Whatever happened to personal responsibility. I bought a home using an FHA loan 15 years ago. I was responsible. I didn't go out and blow $15K on DUB rims with a heloc. I didn't need a president to tell me not do that. I had some fucking common sense.

Many of you here claim to be great libertarians. Bullshit. As soon as anything in your lives goes badly you cry about the government not doing enough to help. Waahhh FEMA didn't help. Waaaahhh Bush didn't save me from buying an overpriced home. Waaaahhh Bush made it rain this morning on my way to work. Wahh waaahhh waaahhhh.

princess mononoke,

Does white include hispanics who are white? If so then 65% white is lower than you would expect given Los Angeles demographics indicating that non-whites are taking out more than there fair share of the sub-prime loans.

If it's not including white hispanics then every non-hispanic person in LA must have taken out a sub-prime loan with you to push the percentage that high...

First of all, some of us do that anyway and do just fine!!!!

Next:

Don't forget Bush was protecting our country BEFORE 9/11! It is HIS fault. He and his cronies did not do their jobs, and as a result those towers came down. The buck stops with GWB. If he won't take the blame for his mistakes, then he sure as hell shouldn't be able to take credit for any successes. I don't want to hear about how great a job he did cleaning up his own mess!

Bush had never caused a natural disaster (I'm not sure why every strawman makes this argument when I've never heard a real person say it), but his administration's poorly executed relief effort left thousands in the resulting disastrous conditions for way longer than necessary after Katrina.

Bush led us into two half-assed wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Did our president ask us to plant a victory garden? Ration rubber/steel? Cut back/save on anything? Did he ask us to join the army to defeat the Arabian menace threatening our shores? Nope. He asked us to take out a $500K loan whether we could afford it our not. If the US was 100% invested in that war our troops would be home and the Afghans would be building Fords in Kabul right now.

We elect leaders to work for us, directly and indirectly. Saying what we want to hear is NOT leadership. If you are that dilusional, please leave our(once?) great nation (they still have satellite TV in Belize-BTW) and go somewhere where your opinion doesn't have such an impact on the rest of the world (apologies to my Belizian brother and sisters.)

If you don't care then why should the scum care. Get together with your neighbors and form neighborhood watch groups (one or two block radius). Then get together with your city councilperson and local police station to discuss whatever needs to be addressed in YOUR neighborhood.

Quit whining and playing the VICTIM! You are ONLY a victim as long as you let them victimize YOU! Take a STAND for your property, your block and your town.

Yeah sure, I had the OPPORTUNITY to increase my income 5x's or more!

Lenders and banks were offering us 5 points/5% of your mortgage amount to put YOU in Pay-Option ARMS (Neg amortization) loans... You DO the math!

PLUS, they were offering their in-house Loan Officers big time pay-outs and incentives to put YOU in these loans regardless of your credit!

Nevertheless, I couldn't in good conscience screw my client's! I earned their business and referrals. I was in it for the long haul building relationships so that I could HAVE repeat business...

I feel like AMERICA has forgotten the meaning of client services!?!?!

princess mononoke,

So answer the question if you "know what white is" (I can't see what knowing what white is has to do with anything but...).

In Los Angeles the demographics are:

white: 74.2%

So if white's made up 65% of your sub-prime clients, then they were skewed dramtically to non-whites - which in LA would be asians and blacks.

However, the claim you were refuting was about "blacks and hispanics", so including hispanics in the white count would be a strange argument. "No X aren't over represented, the biggest group includes X"??? So if you aren't including hispanics then:

White, not hispanic: 29.2%

To get 65% of from that pool, seems unlikely...

Ooooh geez! More f*cked up rhetoric! I AM one (1) mortgage person out of thousands of mortgage people. Quite possibly 100s thousands of mortgage people.

My numbers would mean that I most of MY clients 65% were white ~MY CLIENTS~ stupid ass!

Does white include hispanics who are white? If so then 65% white is lower than you would expect given Los Angeles demographics indicating that non-whites are taking out more than there fair share of the sub-prime loans.

If it's not including white hispanics then every non-hispanic person in LA must have taken out a sub-prime loan with you to push the percentage that high...

More of your f*cked up rhetoric... WHY don't you read what you wrote at 3:52 PM to find out what you asked me before that caused me to make clear that "I KNOW WHAT WHITE IS"...

And By the Way, this CRASH will NOT discriminate!

Everybody, at all levels of society will be greatly affected one way or another...

=================

I never knew there was such a thing as Hispanics who are white? According to the f*cked up U.S. Census, White does NOT include Hispanics. In fact, every category specifically says in parentheses (not Hispanic).

I know this too well. I'm French, Lebanese, Mexican and Japanese born in the U.S.! We only spoke English in our home. I learned my other languages from my grandparents and self-taught.

I have always chosen the 'Other' category growing up because I AM not just one. Since Bush, the U.S. Census has changed the 'Other' category to read (not Hispanic).

So the f*cked up U.S. Census forces me to have to choose Hispanic, even though I am only a 1/4. Making me discount my other heritage!

For your information, Los Angeles, California includes every CULTURE of the WORLD! Too many for me to list here... Get a f*cken clue would ya!

And for goodness sake, learn the mortgage terminology before you start making accusations.

Prime = Excellent credit
Alt-A = Average credit
Sub-prime = Bad credit

Types of mortgage products:
1) Fixed Rate: 10yr/15yr/20yr/30yr
2) Adjustable: 0 fixed/3mos fixed/6mos fixed/2yr fixed/3yr fixed/5yr fixed/7yr fixed/10yr fixed
3) Option ARM Negative amortization: Has 4 payment options - minimum pymt (neg am), Interest only, 30yr fixed, 15yr fixed. (The majority of the borrowers were placed in these loans selling them the minimum pymt NOT explaining the consequences) Negligent lending standards!

Prepayment penalties:
0yr/1yr/2yr/3yr
The majority of the borrowers were given a 2yr or 3yr prepay because the bank or lender got paid more when selling the loan in the secondary MARKET!

Any borrower Prime, Alt-A, and Sub-prime could have chosen ANY of these loan programs regardless of their credit!

The banks, lenders and mortgage people could have placed Sub-prime borrowers into Fixed rate loans!
