A For the last two and a half years we co chaired the Commission s Mortgage Finance Reform Working Group. Remarkably we saw consensus emerge from both parties on the goals of the new system. We made it as far as the Senate Banking Committee but fumbled near the goal line. In May the Senate Banking.
Committee approved the legislation on a vote but could not garner sufficient support from either side of the aisle to warrant consideration from the full Senate. For many Democrats the legislation did not go far enough to support access to credit for working families. For many Republicans the legislation went too far in providing government guarantees. The good news was that the Poland Mobile Number List Commission had demonstrated that bipartisan support was possible. The Commission and the legislation endorsed the following The year fixed rate mortgage should continue as the backbone of the new system. It helps keep monthly payments low and protects consumers from interest rate volatility. Given the recent extreme economic stress Uncle Sam must stand behind these mortgages in the secondary market in order to attract global capital.
Without those government guarantees private financial institutions recalling the burst housing bubble would not assume the long term risks associated with these mortgages. If the private investors were willing to take these risks they would have. They have not. rate mortgage financing would be less available much costlier. In this new system we need risk taking private capital. Today the federal government backstops over percent of new mortgages this is unsustainable. Just as importantly it imposes an excessive burden on taxpayers. In a stronger more durable system private capital would take the first loss in the event of a housing market downturn.
