Of course, Rush was much more honest than the drive bys at the complicit progressive paper were, so I quoted him instead.

Mortgage Market Bound by Major U.S. Role

That's the article in question.

No, not grocery stores, per se. But farmers that grow the food are next. Like the ones that are being run out of business by the fed gov cause they can’t get any water for their crops due to a frickin bait fish. You guessed it...the commie bastards at the EPA.

Just like in Zimbabwe, that worked out really well.

"Only one lender of consequence remains [in the mortgage market]: the federal government..." The mortgage industry has been nationalized. "[N]early 90 percent of all new home loans are funded or guaranteed by [YOU!] taxpayers... The government has the power to decide who is qualified for a loan and who is not. As a result," writes the Washington Post, "many borrowers among both poor and rich are frozen out of the market," because it's now up to your government and some bureaucrat behind the counter or at a desk to determine whether or not you're gonna get a loan to buy a house.

In my business, I have seen just one piece of residential mortgage lending in the last ten months that did not have an FHA guarantee: my own.

Every other jacket that’s crossed my desk has been backstopped by Uncle Sugar.

And Uncle Sugar is backstopped by YOU.

Thanks!

I know a lady that is trying to buy some acreage and wants to buy cattle. My mom told me she thinks the woman has lost her mind. I informed my mom that the lady in particular is one smart cookie and that if I had the money, I’d be doing the same thing. Only, I’d make sure the property had it’s own water and I’d raise chickens and other farm animals, as well.

This is where we’re headed. The Zeros want complete and utter control over every aspect of our lives. If they control our food supply, they have us by the short hairs, finally. I suppose the identity chip will be next. And then the attack on Israel by Zero & his Muslime buds. Biblical prophecy is playing out right before our eyes....at warp speed.

Personally? I’m hoping that we don’t let them get that far. I’m hoping that we stand up and fight back. But I’m fearing that we won’t. At least, not in time to save us.

It's stunning that the US Government now owns or controls 30% of the private sector. And they are just getting started! Welcome to the USSA.

Per Michelle Bachmann on 9/14:

So now the Federal Government owns or controls 30 percent of all private business profits. And if President Obama gets his way and takes over another 18 percent of our economy in health care, that means the Federal Government will own or control 48 percent of private business profits.

Just think, a year ago 100 percent of private business profits were private. Today we're looking at the specter of 48 percent of private business profits owned or controlled by the Federal Government.

Let’s not forget energy control for businesses and individuals = cap and trade.

And wasn’t a food/farming regulation passed in July?

“The mortgage industry has been nationalized. “[N]early 90 percent of all new home loans are funded or guaranteed by [YOU!] taxpayers... The government has the power to decide who is qualified for a loan and who is not”

Why is this considered “new”? Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, VA, and USDA rural home loans have been the status quo for mortgage lending since the Savings and Loans crashed in the 80’s.

The “The government has power to decide who is qualified for a loan and who is not” is Rush hyping.

This is feeling very uncomfortable. Add the media to that list of nationaliz-ING. Shall we have a predetermined place where we all meet up?

REPOST:
To: LS
I’m going to mention something no one else seems to be adding into any of this. I don’t hear it on any of the market/business shows, don’t read it anywhere in any form.
Everyone continues to talk about “toxic” assets. But no one mentions the fact that far from being toxic, these are real property assets worth untold billions.
*Update-TRILLIONS

PROPERTY is what is being used as collateral to entice China, the Emirates, (Dubai in particular,) Saudi Arabia, Japan, et al, to carry our debt. They want you to believe that they hold worthless pieces of unpaid paper, but it isn’t true.

Real Property and the natural resources the government has usurped illegally/unconstitutionally, is the new gold standard. We default, they move in. They own us. Our oil, coal, natural gas, high rises, ranch houses, businesses, name it.

All the defaulted housing mortgages are real property that they no one pays taxes on, so the cities and towns where houses and small businesses sit vacant die slowly and painfully.

There are other things and other ways they are stealing property and resources. But make no mistake, that is where the wealth is, and we are on the losing end of that stick.

THAT is what they have done to this country, and no one talks about it.

You can lose your mind trying to figure out the numbers on this. They don’t want you to know where the real wealth is. The money isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. It’s smoke and mirrors and it will get much worse before it gets better.

People who have had mortgages that are nearly paid off will start to default soon as more and more people lose their jobs. When that happens, it will make this past year look like a walk in the park.

Someone asked me what to do to protect themselves from the coming hit. I told them to buy seeds, a cow, some chickens and lots of ammunition.
