Should foreclosed homeowners be bailed out?
    #14595376 - 06/11/11 10:51 AM (12 years, 7 months ago)

http://www.realtytrac.com/trendcenter/trend.html

Link shows foreclosure's in you're zip code. In my area one in every six-hundred home's are in foreclosure. We just gave two billion in aid to egypt and 75% of the people(according to fox news) don't want it. While I'm generally fiscally conservative, I really feel for the people in foreclosure. If the egyptian people don't want our money we should spend it here if not to help people at least put it towards infrastructure.  What do you think we should do about the housing crises?

I believe the home owners should have been bailed out before the banks, the
automakers, wallstreet or any foreign aid was ever given, but no, I dont
believe that we should be bailing out any one or issuing checks to other nations

This is a tough issue. On one hand I really feel for the people in dire economic situation's on the other is it the responsibility of the tax payer to pay off people's mistake's. While some lost their home's do to losing their jobs some lost their home's do to being severely irresponsible.

That's fucked. I tried digging around on their site to see how the collected that information and couldn't find it. The FDIC website states that 1 in every 200 homes are in foreclosure. That can't be right either.

That's what the real estate scammers, I mean agents do. Buy foreclosed homes at 90% off and sell them at market prices.

they can use your tax money to pay for it then, i dont want to bail people out because they dont have a job and got involved in a shitty investment of buying a house not fully understanding it.  Why should I be punished for having a job and paying my bills?

As I said in another thread I can't believe I fell for that asshole's bullshit. Shoulda seen him for what he was empty rhetoric. My first election though, what can you do. Least he was instrumental to me becoming a libertarian.

Exactly.  How many of these people were gobbling up $1,000,000 homes in Arizona while they are still paying off their REAL home while only bringing in $70-100k?  Some people fall on some hard ass luck, and those are the people that I think should be helped.  I don't quite know exactly how, but if the banks got bailed out, they should be bailing out the people that NEED it.

In my first election I voted libertarian, in my second election I voted constitutional party.
It's a good thing i couldnt vote in 2000 because i woulda voted democrat...thenagain perhaps anything woulda been better than Bush.

Maybe this can be a good thing. It really blows to see people suffering but at the same time it can be a lesson of fiscal responsibility to the masses.

Lots of people that are suffering are doing so because they bought houses that they could ONLY afford so long as the value of their home continued to increase.

Thats a pretty epic premise to spend $750,000+ and shit.

Where are the bulk of foreclosures?  Vegas, florida.  Speculative buying abound.  My parents recently bought a foreclosed-upon condo in FL (for mega cheap) and was at a local breakfast spot and heard a group of women talking about how during the property boom down there they would LITERALLY take 5-6 hairdressers, throw in and buy a house, do minor repairs, and flip it.

Groups of hairdresers, playing the property market.  Yes.  Speculative all the way.  Wonder how they're real estate portfolio is doing now.

My dad just got a house really cheap in Scottsdale. Part of being financial responsible is anticipating the boom bust cycle of our economy. I've noticed among relatives and myself that investments are as addictive as gambling and can be just as foolish. You have to know when to ream you're self in and not invest money that you couldn't afford to lose in the first place.

Two friends and I just bought 10 acres of undeveloped land way back in the holler (extremely rural hilly area). For about $12,000 each we will each have our own land with a 300 ft2 cabin.

Now we just need some steel barrels to fill with beans and rice, and we'll be ready for the apocalypse.

also, moar guns.

dont blame this on the people solely, much of this was due to poor
legislation and lack of oversight, legislation helped to create a housing
bubble and guaranteed the banks protection against losses due to that
legislation, they forced banks to loan to people that couldnt have afforded
it at the inflated values the bank appraisers were valuing the homes at,
regardless the loans were issued with little or no money down, most with
variable interest and balloon payments leading to those unable to afford the
loans defaulting. of course government (fanny/freddy) paid the banks but the
banks keep the homes... this shit has been going on since the carter
administration and was reinforced during clintoon's reign

Do you believe a domino effect would have occurred had the banks not been bailed out. I disagree with the bailouts but can't tell if both bush/obama were bullshitting about the catastrophic consequences of not bailing out the banks.

I don't give a fuck.  Stealing is stealing and it's beyond ridiculous that a bunch of "adults" who take themselves seriously and who would shoot you in the face for breaking into their house at night to take a TV or some tools to feed your crack habit will bend over and smile while their asshole is penetrated by the federal government.



The banks fucked up by being grimy, grisly, GREEDY motherfuckers and a bunch of people that had NOTHING TO DO with the financial liability for it wound up paying the deficits that bankers created.


Afterwards the bankers took monies they were allocated and gave many of themselves multi-million dollar bonuses.  The entire thing is :lol: and :kingtard: at the same time.

The bailout was a 100% fascist policy.  Money from poor individuals going to the rich who pay off and pander to government individuals who hold the power (read: men with guns).

I agree with you're comment and would like to have seen no bailout at all. They got us by the balls and I wonder what would have happend had AIG and other "to big to fail" companies like it fell. I think the free market would fix itself but if shit would get as fucked up as our "leaders" were saying maybe bailouts were a necessary. All we can do is change the rules to avoid things like this happening again.

who benefited from the bank bailouts, certainly wasnt the home owner, the
banks increased interest rates on everything they could, they're still slow
to loan money whether it be auto, personal, home loans or construction loans.
I believe that the bailouts were no more than a means for the politicians to
protect the investments they had in the banks...

look at the S&L bail outs previously, they were bialed out and yet they all
still folded and the tax payer was fucked yet again, $105bn in loans to
these banks were made and even though they claimed the loans were repaid,
there was a $124 billion dollar loss by the end of 1999.

The banks fucked up by being grimy, grisly, GREEDY motherfuckers and a bunch of people that had NOTHING TO DO with the financial liability for it wound up paying the deficits that bankers created.


Afterwards the bankers took monies they were allocated and gave many of themselves multi-million dollar bonuses.  The entire thing is :lol: and :kingtard: at the same time.






see, we can agree on shit

only I also see the problem with the bank customers, when my bank
increased my monthly checking fees and reduced the interest paid I closed
my account and told them as it was, "fuck you, I'm not paying more for the
same service, I signed up with a set fee and that's where it needs to
remain", I didnt cave, I walked. I've told countless people to shop
interest rates on loans, cards and anything else and always get fixed rates

guess what, a few did, on was a GF who wanted a credit card, they started
sending her 'preapproval' at 24.99%, I told her to call the and tell them
she wanted 9% fixed APR, the declined, she got one a few months later with
a 19% APR, she called again and in a few months she received on at 14%APR,
then came the 12% and she jumped on it... she should have waited

it's a consumer's market, without us they have no business, when people
stop being so desperate that they cave to the corporate greed, they'll see
that they control the market, the big corp understands that some profit is
better than closing the doors

If you signed up for a set fee, you should have raised hell, not closed your account.  Unless it was one of those things that they can change anything in the contract at any time without notifying you kind of deals.  Credit Unions haven't fucked me over yet, I would never willingly bank with a retail bank.

Not only honor the agreements, but kiss the customers ass... that is, unless they are swindling millions or abusing the system. The system exists, and well, people have to work really hard these days, or hate it really hard.

Many of these foreclosures are the result of poor decision making on the part of banks,prospective homeowners, and deregulation. During the housing market bubble there was pressure to ease restrictions on banking practices, as a result banks began issuing sub prime mortgages. Many people desperate for the American dream bought houses they couldn't afford by listing a higher than actual stated income or by taking mortgages with steep price hikes.

Housing prices crashed, people couldn't pay their loans, banks don't get money, people lose their houses and then banks get bailed out.

I don't feel bad for most foreclosed homeowners, they were so desperate to own homes they took out loans they could only affordable if housing prices continued to skyrocket. Same thing for banks, they were issuing mortgages they knew homeowners couldn't pay back.

What we need(ed) is stricter regulation for banking. We could just deregulate everything and have the stupid banks go bankrupt and the stupid homeowners lose their homes but that wouldn't benefit anybody.

It would benefit me, a prospective homeowner who saves money and buys only what I can afford.

If homeowners get bailed out, that keeps house prices artificially high and shuts me out of the market.  Fuck 'em, there are plenty of small apartments they can live in.

I wasn't suggesting homeowners get bailed out, I only suggested stricter regulations on banks. Actually I doubt total deregulation would help you or anyone. Total deregulation would wreck havoc on the entire economy, booms and bust would increase in severity and frequency and most financial institutions would effectively collapse or at least be very limited. 

The world economy is based almost entirely on speculation, if people aren't restricted people will suffer.
