Just those who could never qualify using basic standards.

In the past those types of standards were brought to us by the free unregulated market place.
What does that even mean?

Do you have a list of mortgage bankers who were?

Jobs are what results in a healthy middle class and healthy economy. Having a bunch of people trying to buy houses that they cannot afford doesn't do that.

The logical solution is to let the banks do whatever they please but not bail them out when they screw up.

You (hate) the US government helping the poor and middle class to get loans, but you sure love helping America's rich.
You love Mitt Romney's $6.6 trillion dollar "supply side" tax cut for the rich and large corporations, in the following link.

Romney's Economic Plan Includes $6.6 Trillion Tax Cut For The Rich And Corporations | ThinkProgress

(That whole $6.6 trillion dollars would have been added to our national debt, and financed the building of US factories in China, and you still love it.)

There are no regulations on how to spend republican "supply side" tax cuts. So Americas rich and large corporations can spend their republican tax cuts any way they want.

But like Rush radio and Fox news says "the rich made all the right choices."
To bad Rush radio and Fox news don't say "poor Americans who want home loans made the right choices."

Geez dude, how do you have the guts to do this??????
Please clarify your position: Do you agree or disagree with this deregulation measure? Are you saying we need MORE regulation?

Do you agree, or disagree with these words: Responsibly shrinking the government’s footprint in housing finance over time is important to protecting taxpayer interests. However, we must balance our policy goal of reducing the government’s footprint against the need to preserve access to mortgage credit for creditworthy borrowers.

That is certainly NOT true with any of the people I know with ruined credits, and I know quite a few.
