Here HUD functions for 80 years, quite well I might add, stimulating the housing and real estate industry, and along with it the economy by making home ownership a reality for millions of Americans and once, during the 80 years, the Fed is asked for temporary funds to help HUD get past a rough spot and Congress and the President scream, at the top of their lungs, that the American people must be protected from any future malfeasance by HUD and the mortgage industry.
This just doesn’t make any sense. How about Congress protecting us from ongoing Wall Street corruption, from the perennial billions spent on social engineering around the world, from the ongoing billions spent on getting us into unnecessary wars, from the billions lost to the devaluation of our currency, from the inequity of taxation, the ridiculous IRS system, the intrusion into our private lives under the guise of protecting us etc., etc. The mortgage industry has contributed, for more than 80 years, to the housing of America. Congress and the President need to stop this irrational, negative posturing and let us get back to our business. There’s a reason why fewer Americans are buying homes than ever before and it’s not the mortgage industry.
