If the loans were unaffordable to begin with, the buyers shouldn't have signed on to them! And removing people from their homes is not a benefit to the banks. People need to take responsibility for their own actions, and stop blaming others.

Simply put, these loans were traps to remove homes from their owners

A loan is a shared responsibility that must work and be fair to both parties or it is not a good loan. Loans, especially home loans should be regulated

Melnick, I think that is the argument they are trying to make. Who should be responsible? I think there are a lot of culpable people, including the individual, but not everyone has access to education explaining how mortgages work. I believe most people would assume that the broker would act in the clients best interest according to their own economic status. But, it's just as typical for the "conservative" parties to place blame on the victims, saying "pull your self up by the bootstraps."

Daniel Groll is ABSOLUTELY BRAINLESS it is not the responsibility of a broker to take care of someone else YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DAMN SELF.

6:36 ITS ABOUT RACE thats what liberals do make everyone a victim, and direct the responsibility away from the individual who refinanced their home 2 or 3 times. PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY REGARDLESS OF RACE
