WASHINGTON -- Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson said Wednesday that agreement on a sweeping Housing rescue bill will send a strong message to investors around the world and will be key to helping the nation turn the corner on the Housing Crisis. ... Source: weblogs.chicagotribune.com --- 9 hours ago
by Jesse A. Hamilton and updated The U.S. House of Representatives has overwhelmingly passed the long-awaited Housing rescue bill -- sending it now for a last Senate approval before President Bush can sign it into law. The vote, at about 5 p.m., went 272-152. It will now be the Senate's turn and, except for some expected resistance that could delay the bill for a short time, the chamber will likely pass the measure with a similar high ratio. And though President Bush had long threatened... ... Source: www.swamppolitics.com --- 17 hours ago
by Jesse A. Hamilton The congressional attempt to fix the Crisis in the Housing market -- specifically rescuing those in danger of home foreclosures -- may be on the cusp of passage into law. The White House has dropped its veto threat today, and the bill is expected to come up very soon for a vote in the House. The House and Senate have already passed versions of this sweeping Housing rescue, so this is to be the final compromise version. Sen. Chris Dodd, who was one of the central authors of the bill, has repeatedly expressed hope that when the Senate gets its last turn, it acts with speed in sending the bill to the president's desk for a final signature. The Housing legislation, which now also has a lifeline provision to help struggling mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, would also make reforms to the Federal Housing Administration and establish a new regulator of government-sponsored enterprises, such as Fannie and Freddie.

Last week, at a Houston fundraiser for Republican congressional candidate Pete Olson, President Bush asked for the TV cameras in the room to be shut off. Unaware that iPhones exist, and that someone could be recording him with such a device, he then proceeded to do a two-minute standup act that one might find David Letterman or Jay Leno doing during their opening monologues. Unfortunately, and in bad taste, Bush chose to make fun of the Housing Crisis , which can be viewed on YouTube, Facebook and ABC News. Bush started his ill-timed comedy routine with, "There's no question about it. Wall Street got drunk. That's one of the reasons I asked you to turn of the TV cameras. He got drunk and now it's got a hangover." And, yes, he said "he" and then "it" in reference to the same noun within the same sentence. Bush continued, "The question is: How long will it sober up and not try to do all these fancy financial instruments?" Bush must be talking about the same financial instruments that were permitted to exist up until recently, thanks to a Republican-led Congress that passed several deregulation bills alm ...

U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) The Housing Crisis is eroding the confidence of our nation's homeowners, financial institutions and investors at an accelerating rate. Americans are growing anxious that the equity they've paid into their homes may not provide the financial security that home ownership once guaranteed. Worst of all, nearly 1.9 million borrowers across the nation more than 50,000 of them in Texas who have filed for foreclosure on their homes this year live with diminished hope that their own symbol of the American dream will be realized. The Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) each have similar roles in the home mortgage market. They buy mortgages from primary lenders like banks which make additional funds available to those banks to lend to other potential homeowners. Fannie and Freddie were created by Congress specifically to make home ownership affordable and attainable for low- and middle-income Americans. Since 2000, Freddie Mac has provided $821.6 million in low-cost mortgages to Texas families. And as of May 2008, Fannie Mae has purchased over a million home mortgages in our state. Across the nation, Fannie and Freddie own or guarantee $5.2 trillion in home mortgages almost half of all outstanding mortgages in the United States. Because current regulation requires each firm to have a financial cushion of cash or securities, ...
