President Obama on Tuesday will for the first time insist that any future housing system in the United States makes 30-year mortgages widely available to borrowers, senior administration officials said, preserving a linchpin of the American economy but also continuing to expose taxpayers to risk from another housing meltdown.

Will Business ever just say, “NO”?

How much worse can it get, if we stopped complying with Bracky’s every socialist pipe dream and Marxist imagining.

“peoples” wants its apostrophe back. It appears that “want’s” stole it when peoples turned away for a brief moment.

“widely available to borrowers”

as far as I understand, 30 year mortgages are now the choice of most mortgage holders/applicants

so what else is meant by “widely available to borrowers”????

If they did away with 30 year mortgages it’s news to me and to Wells Fargo. I refinance my house last year and took out a 30 year mortgage.

With rampant inflation on the way, the 30-yr mortgage is exactly what banks want to hold!

You forgot the "/S", right?

Interest rates are more likely to go up over the next 30 years than stay near zero, which causes the value of the mortgage to drop, and gives he banks (or Fannie/Freddie/FHA) a huge loss.

Canada also didn’t have Dodd,Raines,Frank and CRA.
You also can’t just walk away from a mortgage there.

Remember the rat/rino lexicon: NOT giving a loan to the unqualified is evil and “redlining”.
Giving the unqualified a loan is “predatory lending”.
