That's BS from prior research I've seen. Only a small percentage of loans fit into the categories you suggest. Have to pull it up later. What you just gave is the talking points explanation for Wall Street trying shift ALL the blame onto the government.

So do want to claim you're being honest on this issue or do I need to pull the research and prove you otherwise?

You are consistently ignoring or downplaying the deregulatory measures that lead us to allow the Wall Street babies to play with their loaded guns.

What caused the wheel to fall off at exactly 50,000 miles? (Why now?) Who cares why it took 50,000 miles. All that is important is that driving over the pot hole eventually caused the wheel to fall off.

Bad things will eventually happen with bad policy.
