Gee, where were you the previous eight
years. We could have used you.- Hide
quoted text -
Used him how? There was no requirement to
buy health insurance and give up your
records before Obama came along.
You've got to be joking, right? Do you think
for a moment that ANY insurance company is
going to give you health insurance coverage
without full access to your medical records?
And honestly, you right wingers crack me up.
If you want health insurance, you have to pay
for it. But you cry and cry and cry because
I pay taxes and what's the difference if I
have a FEMA payment or The government pays
for the hospital because a BUS hits me(Bus or
Hurricane wheres the difference).... Why does
one cost you but it's OK, and the other is
intolerable. If I have to pay for FEMA to
give you Emergency care, why complain when I
am uninsured for health care?
Just for starters, catastrophic health care is
a hell of a lot more expensive than a mobile
home and six months of stipends while you get
your life together. Maybe. but it depends.
Although FEMA is basically federal disaster
insurance. You get hit by a tornado, hurricane,
earthquake or whatever, and assuming you have
Democrats in the White House, FEMA is there to
give you a life back.
SO a storm is OK for us all to pay for, but a
Bus hitting you is Not... Interesting how you
justify government help?
If I am willing to risk losing my house from a
health problem then that is my risk..... You
can lose your house by not getting insurance
when a hurricane hits... Are you mandated to
have hurricane insurance?
Actually, in some areas you are. And of
course, anyone paying a mortgage is required
to have insurance against standard disasters
such as fire or flood, plus any that are
particular to your locale, such as earthquakes
or volcanoes.
20 years I lived with ZERO insurance.....
I still owe zero for my health care.
If I would rather pay a Mortgage than pay an
insurance policy, that is my choice, if I did
get cancer when no one in my family ever had
it before then I might lose my house, how is
that your concern?
Because we end up paying inflated medical costs
because the hospitals can't just absorb the
loss once the money from your house has run
out, and that costs us more than if you were
insured in the first place.
Nope.
Yep.
Where would the money come from with free
Government health care?
From taxes, stupid.
So explain how that is different from the money
coming from where it does now?
The most obvious difference is that you would no
longer be at risk of being bankrupted by a serious
medical problem, even if you do have health
insurance.
Lefterloons do like having a mommy government to
pick them up when they fall down...
Anyone with even half a clue prefers not to be
bankrupted by a serious medical problem even if they
do have health insurance.
There's also fools like you...
Only little fools need a mommy government.
How would you afford that?
Same way you afford all taxes, stupid.
Some people are on the edge... they will become
broke and join the poor.
That happens right now with those who have a
serious medical problem, even if they do have
health insurance.
There would be much less of that because no modern
first world country taxes anyone into poverty. In
fact the only real poor in a modern first world
country are those whose only income is just
welfare.
How do we afford Mortgages for people that have
poor credit?
We dont, they dont get a mortgage, stupid.
Obama says otherwise.
You're lying now.
Which one of you are lying?
Just you, as always.
Government championed those bad loans.
Another bare faced lie.
You are the one lying....
Fannie Mae Eases Credit To Aid Mortgage Lending
Thats not championing bad loans, you silly little
pathological liar.
By STEVEN A. HOLMES
Published: *September* 30, 1999
In a move that could help increase home ownership
rates among minorities and low-income consumers,
the Fannie Mae Corporation is easing the credit
requirements on loans that it will purchase from
banks and other lenders.
Thats not championing bad loans, you silly little
pathological liar.
The action, which will begin as a pilot program
involving 24 banks in 15 markets -- including the
New York metropolitan region -- will encourage
those banks to extend home mortgages to
individuals whose credit is generally not good
enough to qualify for conventional loans.
Thats not championing bad loans, you silly little
pathological liar.
Fannie Mae officials say they hope to make it a
nationwide program by next spring.
And that didnt happen either.
Fannie Mae, the nation's biggest underwriter of
home mortgages, has been under increasing
pressure from the Clinton Administration to
expand mortgage loans among low and moderate
income people
Thats not championing bad loans, you silly little
pathological liar.
and felt pressure from stock holders to maintain
its phenomenal growth in profits.
If they really were bad loans, that would do the
exact opposite to maintain its phenomenal growth in
profits, you silly little pathological liar.
In addition, banks, thrift institutions and
mortgage companies have been pressing Fannie Mae
to help them make more loans to so-called subprime
borrowers.
Sub prime loans arent bad loans, you silly little
pathological liar.
These borrowers whose incomes, credit ratings and
savings are not good enough to qualify for
conventional loans, can only get loans from
finance companies that charge much higher
interest rates -- anywhere from three to four
percentage points higher than conventional loans.
They clearly arent bad loans if they are making
them at those higher rates, you silly little
pathological liar.
''Fannie Mae has expanded home ownership for
millions of families in the 1990's by reducing
down payment requirements,'' said Franklin D.
Raines, Fannie Mae's chairman and chief executive
officer.
Thats not championing bad loans, you silly little
pathological liar.
And that reduction in down payment requirements
happened right thruout the first and second world,
so it cant have been Fannie Mae, you silly little
pathological liar.
''Yet there remain too many borrowers whose credit
is just a notch below
what our underwriting has required who have been
relegated to paying significantly higher mortgage
rates in the so-called subprime market.''
They clearly arent bad loans if they are making
them at those higher rates, you silly little
pathological liar.
Demographic information on these borrowers is
sketchy.
But it is known that a hell of a lot of them were
to flippers and so
werent
anything even remotely resembling bad loans while
the boom lasted, essentially because the turnover
rate was so high that the absolute vast bulk of
them were paid out while the boom lasted,
repeatedly.
But at least one study indicates that 18 percent
of the loans in the subprime market went to black
borrowers, compared
to 5 per cent of loans in the conventional loan
market.
Doesnt mean that they were bad loans, you silly
little pathological liar.
In moving, even tentatively, into this new area of
lending, Fannie Mae is taking on significantly
more risk,
Easy to claim. Have fun actually substantiating
that claim, particularly
with loans to flippers who turn over the loans at a
very high rate and
so are a very low risk while ever the boom lasts.
which may not pose any difficulties during flush
economic times.
And it didnt.
But the government-subsidized corporation
may run into trouble in an economic downturn,
In fact it wasnt an economic downturn that did it.
prompting a government rescue similar to that
of the savings and loan industry in the 1980's.
Doesnt make them bad loans, you silly little
pathological liar.
''From the perspective of many people, including
me, this is another thrift industry growing up
around us,'' said Peter Wallison a resident
fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.
In fact that wasnt the problem.
''If they fail, the government will have to step
up and bail them out the way it stepped up and
bailed out the thrift industry.''
Yes, but that does not make them bad loans, you
silly little pathological liar.
Under Fannie Mae's pilot program, consumers who
qualify can secure a mortgage with an interest
rate one percentage point above that of a
conventional, 30-year fixed rate mortgage of less
than $240,000 -- a rate that currently averages
about 7.76 per cent. If the borrower makes his or
her monthly payments on time for two years, the
one percentage point premium is dropped.
Yes, but that does not make them bad loans, you
silly little pathological liar.
Fannie Mae, the nation's biggest underwriter of
home mortgages, does not lend money directly to
consumers. Instead, it purchases loans that banks
make on what is called the secondary market. By
expanding the type of loans that it will buy,
Fannie Mae is hoping to spur banks to make more
loans to people with less-than-stellar credit
ratings.
Yes, but that does not make them bad loans, you
silly little pathological liar.
Fannie Mae officials stress that the new mortgages
will be extended to all potential borrowers who
can qualify for a mortgage. But they add that the
move is intended in part to increase the number of
minority and low income home owners who tend to
have worse credit ratings than non-Hispanic
whites.
Yes, but that does not make them bad loans, you
silly little pathological liar.
Home ownership has, in fact, exploded among
minorities during the economic boom of the 1990's.
Yes, but that does not make them bad loans, you
silly little pathological liar.
The number of mortgages extended to Hispanic
applicants jumped by 87.2 per cent from 1993 to
1998, according to Harvard University's Joint
Center for Housing Studies.
Yes, but that does not make them bad loans, you
silly little pathological liar.
During that same period the number of African
Americans who got mortgages to buy a home
increased by 71.9 per cent and the number of
Asian Americans by
46.3 per cent
All that proves is that there were a more hispanic
immigrants during
that time, fool.
If I have no insurance......
They then attach my wages and my tax returns.
Wont work when you go bankrupt.
That's right. But that's the Obama plan, use the
IRS to enforce this new unconstitutional forced
health insurance.
You're lying now. He has never ever said that the
dregs will all be forced to pay for insurance.
It isnt even possible, most obviously with the
'homeless' etc.
To start with, the government is not supposed to
pay my bills.
No one is saying that the govt will pay your
bills.
HHHHhmmmmmm?
Hum all you like, changes nothing.
You GO get a tattoo with your insurance policy
number so they will save you, I'll take my
chances of going out with the trash.
You're always free to shoot yourself when you
get a serious medical problem.
Then why do I need to be forced to buy your health
care?
You arent. You are paying for your own health care.
Contrary to what liberals whine, nobody owes you
anything.
Having fun thrashing that straw man ?
Leftists whimper and whine about having an ever
important government safety net,
Having fun thrashing that straw man ? Thats not a
safety net, thats paying for your own health care.
NO,
YEP.
paying for your own health care involves YOU writing a
check,
Nope, it involves paying taxes.
Bwhahahaha,
Wota stunningly rational line of argument you have there,
child.
sure, sure, and that's why the Democrat's "health care
reform" involves raising taxes on the rich people to pay
for you loser's health care....
You're lying now.
Errrr, you haven't heard about how Obama and the Democrats
want to raise taxes on the rich?
Yes, but they have NEVER said that they want to spend ALL that
extra collected on JUST health care, you silly little
pathological liar.
not whimpering to the mommy government.
You're the whimperer.
which is nothing more than wanting the government to be
your mommy...
Its actually about deciding what govt should do and what
govt doesnt do well.
The only thing government has done well in the last 100
years is fight wars.
Another pig ignorant lie. The CDC has done very well
indeed.
Oh yeah, the fools who degrade people's immune system by
insisting that they get their flu shots...
No one is insisting on a damned thing and flu shots boost
the immune system, just like all vaccination does, fuckwit.
Here's some help for you on that issue.. but I doubt you
will understand it..
Thats all you had there. So you're admitting you have nothing,
as always.
LOL
Village eejut immitations cut no mustard around here, fuckwit.
If it had really been "nothing," you wouldn't have felt the need
to snip it.
Nothing was snipped there, you silly little pathological liar.
http://groups.google.com/group/sci.econ/msg/be3473b723cb4a93?hl=en&dmode=source
Sorry but grownups don't get do-overs these days, not even from
your mommy government...
Never ever could bullshit and lie its way out of a wet paper bag.
..and you keep on trying...
Corse you never ever do anything like that yourself, eh fuckwit ?
You snipped the cite because you couldn't argue it
Another lie, just did, fuckwit.
LOL
Village eejut immitations cut no mustard around here, fuckwit.
Reposting your vague cite
Another lie.
and saying "no, no, no,"
Another lie.
isn't arguing.
Your shit in spades, fuckwit.
ALL it shows is what I said all along, that the majority who go
bankrupt are bankrupted BY A SERIOUS MEDICAL PROBLEM, even if they
do have health insurance.

What a total non-sequitur. Income tax is not an insurance, and (in theory) you
can only get taxed for what you earned, so if you don't go splurging it you can
pay it.
But guess what? The tax system also needs some reforms...
In theory, nobody should go bankrupt unless they try real hard.
