"Fannie Mae will drop some credit-score requirements, reduce income-documentation standards and waive the need for appraisals in some cases, according to a notice yesterday to lenders posted on the Washington-based company’s Web site."



This would be funny if it weren't so sad. When we need to stop appraising houses and reduce documentation requirements, you know it's bad ...

I am sure some of these people will be getting their $15,000 as well. Then when they default, the rest of us responsible taxpayers can bail them out-once again.

These measures are in part what got them into trouble in the first place.

I wonder how much longer before people in good standing, those who play by the rules, have paid for housing the conventional way, begin mass push-back against this crap? Or, maybe, the real intent here politically is to put us into a permanent minority, so future election results will be all but guaranteed?

I don't care how anyone else runs their finances! I only care about my own! Hey, the world isn't fair, haven't you figured that out yet? Listen to how stupid we are, we're paying off our mortgage ASAP to simplify our lives. Only a complete moron would do something like that now, isn't that right? Every moron in the financial world has laughed at us for the past 10 years because that's something we've wanted to do. So now we're finally going to do it. Should have done it a long time ago.
