March 27, 2024, 12:55:24 pm Mark says: Shocked Shocked Shocked Shocked  When Hamas spokesman Abu Ubaida began a speech marking the 100th day of the war in Gaza, one confounding yet eye-opening proclamation escaped the headlines. Listing the motives for the Palestinian militant group's Oct. 7 massacre in Israel, he accused Jews of "bringing red cows" to the Holy Land.

September 24, 2017, 10:45:16 pm Psalm 51:17 says: The specific rule pertaining to the national anthem is found on pages A62-63 of the league rulebook. It states: “The National Anthem must be played prior to every NFL game, and all players must be on the sideline for the National Anthem. “During the National Anthem, players on the field and bench area should stand at attention, face the flag, hold helmets in their left hand, and refrain from talking. The home team should ensure that the American flag is in good condition. It should be pointed out to players and coaches that we continue to be judged by the public in this area of respect for the flag and our country. Failure to be on the field by the start of the National Anthem may result in discipline, such as fines, suspensions, and/or the forfeiture of draft choice(s) for violations of the above, including first offenses.”
September 20, 2017, 04:32:32 am Christian40 says: "The most popular Hepatitis B vaccine is nothing short of a witch’s brew including aluminum, formaldehyde, yeast, amino acids, and soy. Aluminum is a known neurotoxin that destroys cellular metabolism and function. Hundreds of studies link to the ravaging effects of aluminum. The other proteins and formaldehyde serve to activate the immune system and open up the blood-brain barrier. This is NOT a good thing."

The Last Housing Crash Is Not Even Over But Bernanke Is Already Setting The Stage For The Next One


Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is determined to push mortgage rates to record low levels and he is encouraging the banks that the Fed regulates to make home loans more freely.  Wait a second - isn't that exactly what caused the last housing bubble?  After 9/11, the Federal Reserve slashed interest rates and this caused mortgage rates to steadily fall.  Financial institutions were urged to help "expand home ownership" in America, and many of them started making home loans to people who never, ever should have gotten home loans.  When mortgage rates started to go back up, millions of families with adjustable rate mortgages discovered that they could not make their monthly payments.  Mortgage delinquencies absolutely soared and large numbers of mortgage-backed securities suddenly turned into garbage.  So what is the Fed doing about it?  The Fed recently announced another round of quantitative easing in which it will buy 40 billion dollars worth of these mortgage-backed securities a month.  Essentially the Fed is clearing the bad financial paper out of the system and is creating the conditions for another housing bubble.  But will we really fix our problems by going back and doing the same things that got us into trouble in the first place?

The following chart shows how interest rates on 30 year conventional mortgages have declined over the past 30 years.  After 9/11, mortgage rates were pushed to ridiculously low levels and that helped create the mess that we are currently in.

So what did the Fed decide to do to fix things?  They decided to push mortgage rates even lower....

Over the last year or so, there's been 2 foreclosed homes right next to where I live.

Yes, I've seen foreclosed homes my entire life, but never in my lifetime have I ever seen more than one right by where I live. Sad b/c these were hard-working families that owned them.

BTW - the Fed put out QE4 recently.

While not having a home is not good, I must say I have little sympathy for these people that are losing their homes to foreclosure, or at least those who bought in the last 10 years or so. Many of these deals are a result of people being greedy in wanting more carnal stuff, like a shiny new home, so they jumped at the chance when banks started tossing cash at them (sound familiar? All the kingdoms of the earth...if...) to sucker them in to a really bad mortage that the buyer had no business getting into.

Bottom line, most people that are in financial trouble, look at what bills they have, in relation to their incomes. Most are WAY over-extended. And all it takes is for a spouse to get layed off or sick, and they are in serious financial trouble because they have pushed their income to the limit and beyond with credit cards on top of a mortage and a car payment or two, and not to mention trying to keep up with the Jones' and their kids who were designer clothes and shoes.

The whole credit/debt-based economy was a sucker's bet from the begining as we are seeing play out, and it worked because of the greed of people not being content with what they have.

It's been all about, "...the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life...".
