Mortgage brokers to be fingerprinted and registered


Recommended Posts

The government that forced the industry to lend to people who by any sense, didn't qualify for a loan (of course, that garnered votes for the Dems) now says that mortgage brokers will be fingerprinted and registered in this "Financial Reform" Act.

Also contained in it is that the SEC can, behind closed doors, decide to close and/or confiscate any private business, and they are deemed immune from Freedom of Information Act requests. The press, the citizenry, can no longer question their acts.

Of course, as we know, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae were excluded from the legislation...

 

 

 

It's inexorable...

That's not unreasonable. Financial advisors are subject to that, why not mortgage brokers?

It's basically true. Fox Business News has been trying to get Madoff information, and kept getting blocked, and finally they told them they don't need to release the information based on the new Financial Regulation Reform bill Obama signed.

 

Of course, it's Fox Business News, so it's probably just a manufactured story to push a right-wing agenda. :beer:

 

I posted this link from CNN Money in a different thread.

Business people = bad

Government = good

Fanny and Freddy = government

Fanny and Freddy = good

 

Any reform aimed at Fanny and Freddy would have been an obvious admission that they too had some responsibility in the "crisis". We all know that Fanny and Freddy were victimized by the greedy mortgage brokers. Those pesky brokers forced Fanny and Freddy to buy up all those loans and forced Fanny and Freddy to pay the highest prices in the market for those loans even when Fanny and Freddy didn't have the necessary reserves to withstand a downturn in the market. Those damn greedy !@#$ brokers cost the taxpayers billions!!!
