The FHA, which backs nearly 8 million loans, is helping rebound buyers recapture the American dream...Compliments of the American taxpayer! Because EVERYONE deserves what you've actually worked your arss off for. /s

The FHA is at it again. Why help somebody that pulled all the equity out of their home and blew it on a Benz and an Escalade? He’s 61, he isn’t going to pay off this loan. Why does he need a 4 bedroom house? This is a guaranteed loser for the FHA. They must be getting financial help from the Energy Department.

After two foreclosures and two bankruptcies, Hermes Maldonado is as surprised as anyone that he's getting a third shot at homeownership.
The last time he owned a home, Maldonado refinanced four times and took on a second mortgage. He put a Cadillac and Mercedes-Benz C300W in the driveway and racked up about $45,000 in credit card bills and other debts. His debt-fueled lifestyle ended only when he was forced into bankruptcy.
So not only does the government practice no fiscal discipline on it's own budgets, it also encourages and rewards fiscal irresponsibility by private citizens. What's the point of living within your means, investing wisely or paying your debts when there are no consequences for not doing so? Individuals, banks, the government itself - we're living in a nation in which the government actively teaches people that fiscal responsibility is for suckers.
It's all going to end in tears when the US finally runs out of people willing to buy our debt and the high-flown BS about equality and fairness finally runs into the iron laws of second-grade arithmetic, but liberals are as resistant to learning basic arithmetic as they are to learning anything about basic economics and basic human nature.

You know I’d be out on the street if my mortgage check was a day late. But no, I scrimped and saved and sacrificed to pay off two homes without any help from anyone. Boy, how dumb am I.

Sure I believe it.
The couple behind me have been living in their house for almost a year waiting for it to be foreclosed.
She told me they haven’t made a payment in months because they are underwater on the house and they are saving the mortgage money to buy another home after this one is foreclosed.She figures it will take them until next June to get them out, and this house was in her husbands name so she will apply for the new home in her name which is debt free.
Not a bad scam.

I’ve suspected it. My suspicion is the government is buying foreclosures and “selling” them for less than they paid for them.

We know two families who lost their homes after losing their jobs and now are in small rentals with their children. But their name wasn’t Maldonado and they can speak English. Obviously, that makes a difference in how much help one gets in this country.

Dont you love heart-warming stories about how immigrant grifters get another chance to screw their creditors thanks to US taxpayer dollars? Another hapless victim of yankee dog predatory lending smiles all the way to the bank to pick up his new housekeys.
How do you say “Thanks, suckers” in spanish?
