Hiring a guy who foreclosed on 36,000 people may not jibe with Trump's “I’m here for the little guy“

"I'm here for the little guy... And everything he owns."

That's what happens when banks are cajoled in loaning money to unqualified borrowers. What do you propose? They just keep the house and not pay for it?

You don't own your house until you pay for it. Go take a basic money management class.

Does that mean that you'd be fine if a financial crisis were engineered to put you in a position where your house would be repo'ed and then it was? BTW, my house is bought and paid for.

Maybe you should have paid your bills, Kemosabe. They were supposed to let you live in your house for free? You thought they were running a charity?

Just more leftist butt hurt

Funny, I remember when Republicans controlled both houses and the presidency. I remember when they deregulated Wall Street. I remember when they watched millions of jobs move to China and over 43,000 factories close. I remember those newly unemployed under Republicans losing their homes.

And what did Republicans do to help those people?

Unemployment benefits: not until Bush tax cuts pass, Senate GOP says

That's right. Used them as pawns to force Obama to extend tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires. (this is where you hear wild Republican applause)

Your post is incoherent....

Incoherent? To a drooling moron. That's recent history bub.

It -is- recent. Which makes me wonder how it is that you've already forgotten that NAFTA and GATT, the two major trade agreements responsible for not only much of the deregulation of the banking system (Glass Steagall repeal, anyone? Major, perhaps pivotal step in creating the Too Big to Fail crisis?), but also largely responsible for the movement of our production base to foreign markets, were passed under president Bill Clinton. Correct me if I'm wrong, but he's not a republican.

It's like Social Security or Medicare.

The programs as initially passed had many flaws. It took other, more minor pieces of legislation that fixed the flaws.

Even Dodd/Frank is really a bunch of fixes, not really bottom up legislation.

The difference with something like Obamacare is that Republicans hate Obama. They hate his blackness more than anything. They just want to destroy anything he did. Republicans hurt the country terribly under Bush with greed and they hurt it under Obama with hate.

And this past election, they hurt America with suppression and even worse racism.

Any economic legislation that comes from Republicans has to be carefully studied. The greedy have taken over the party. And now Trump has filled his administration with billionaires who have enormous histories of predatory lending, bankruptcy for profit, stiffing workers and ruining smaller companies.

The country is in for a HELL of a time.

Yeah, other than bankrupting us and that the program is a lie where zero money is saved, social security and welfare are great!

A financial crisis was not engineered. A financial crisis came about for a number of factors but bottom line is, scores of unqualified people were given mortgages they couldn't honor. Who to blame?

Lenders, borrowers and government and Wall Street. It was a perfect storm.

And good for you... mine will be paid off soon.. ten years early!

Your post is incoherent....

Incoherent? To a drooling moron. That's recent history bub.

I think he means your point is incoherent, not your words. Which is clearly true.

Democrats have controlled both houses and the Presidency far more than Republicans who did once in my lifetime and that was short. And you're the only ones who had filibuster proof control.

Wall Street isn't remotely deregulated, that's just a lie

Jobs have gone to China and factories closed for decades under both parties and that is inevitable. It's also good as services are higher margin.

Unemployed losing their homes is again under both parties, you're just a partisan whore.

Government has just made it worse by driving companies offshore. Both parties did that but Democrats drive it even harder

And unemployment benefits are a great example of that as they drive struggling companies under.

How is one to get a coherent point out of your cacophony of random drivel?

Did I mess the part about automation taking, by far, the highest percentage of jobs?

Automation Brings Manufacturing Back Home | Automation World

It's easy to drive the narrative if you leave out the most important facts.

Automation! The damned Republicans did that! They just hate workers. Moron

They didn't do anything to prepare workers to accept that new technology developed by scientists and engineers. That would require targeted education.

It's been 50 years since Republicans showed any real support for education. They say college is a place you go to get drunk, do drugs and have sex. They say it's overrated. That liberal college professors only want to brainwash the young. That scientists work for a government stipend, but don't do much beyond that. Try to deny that.

My God man, seriously? It's government's job to "prepare" us for change? No wonder our economy is in shit since you socialists took over. Do you have any male genitalia at all? That is just pathetic

 

[bendog]

Did the foreclosed people not pay their bills?

I think the hypocrisy is that GS didn't exactly pay for their bad debt either. Trump appealed to the unfairness of that, and those who responded are screwed yet thrice. First taking out the loans in a bubble market (their choice I know, but then the bailed out bond holders made a choice too) getting foreclosed upon, and now the guy who profited from the previous two gets to be sec of treasury.

Not that I'm not ok with that. I was for baling out Wall St.

I know right? When I was in college I remember researching industry trends as I was floating aimlessly in Junior Division. I guess the modern kiddies are too busy with Play Doh and safe spaces to do a little research on where industry is headed.

We're fucked.

‘I Just Wish I Had Not Voted’: Trump Voter Had House Foreclosed on by Trump’s Treasury Secretary

Teena Colebrook explained to the Associated Press that she had voted for Trump hoping he would keep his pledge to remove the elites from Washington. However, she became truly disenchanted when he chose Mnuchin, partly because it showed he’s “now backing his buddies.”

But also because Mnuchin was responsible for the loss of her home and source of income.

Over five years, she tried unsuccessfully to adjust her loan with OneWest through the Treasury Department’s Home Affordable Modification Program. But she said that One West Bank lost paperwork, provided conflicting statements about ownership of the loan and fees and submitted charges that were unverified and caused her loan balance to balloon. By the time she lost her home in foreclosure in April 2015, the payoff balance totaled $517,662.

It was recently reported that OneWest foreclosed on a 90-year-old woman over a 27-cent payment error.

--------------------

Remember, Trump had a 19 out of 100 credit rating. 6 bankruptcies. He stiffed his workers. How many has he screwed? And he's picking people who screwed over tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands to run the government. Oh God. Good luck on that.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Steven Mnuchin Ran a “Foreclosure Machine” and Other Fun Facts About Trump’s Treasury Shortlist

He was previously a Goldman Sachs partner. He ran OneWest for six years making around $200 million off foreclosures which kicked more than 36,000 families out of their homes.
Oh yea, Trump is going to make Wall Street pay. I wonder how many of those 36,000 were Republicans? I hope most. So they can fully get their votes worth. At one point, people marched on his Bel Air mansion.

Funny, here's a report on the same guy from Fox who presents a much rosier picture by leaving out so much information:

Trump to nominate Steven Mnuchin for Treasury Secretary, sources say

Trump also officially nominated Rep. Tom Price, R-Ga., as Health and Human Services Secretary. This guy was a leader in the movement to give employers the right to fire women for using birth control. Also, he wants to remove birth control from being subsidized by healthcare plans. But not Viagra. Remember, Republicans say birth control is a life style choice, but Viagra is for a medical condition.

Price, a former surgeon, supports the repeal of ObamaCare and has offered a replacement that would provide tax credits to subsidize the purchase of individual and family health insurance policies. His proposal would also allow insurers to sell policies across state line, boost incentives for health savings accounts, and create high-risk pools to help individuals afford coverage, while barring assistance for nearly all abortions.

USMB Republicans insist selling insurance across state lines is a fantastic idea. So you live in California, but buy insurance in New York. So you need an operation and your New York insurance drops your ass. What do you do? What can you do? Your insurance is in New York. 3,000 miles away. California State laws don't cover New York. You're fucked. That's it. That's the bottom line. That's why Republicans think this is a good idea. You've been paying all that lovely money for a policy, you get sick and get dropped. Nothing you can do. Funny huh?

He also wants to raise Medicare to 67. I hope they don't go after those already on the program. Who knows? Donald didn't drain the swamp, he hired it.

I really like this part from Fox:

Price also backs, as does Trump, a plan by House Republicans to sharply cut the Medicaid health program for the poor and disabled and turn it over to the states to run. Like Trump and most other Republicans, Price wants federal funding withdrawn from Planned Parenthood, which has come under attack for its practice of supplying tissue from aborted fetuses to medical researchers.

Yea, cut it for the disabled. Turn it over to GOP governors. That'll teach 'em to vote GOP. And look at that. Fox lied. Planned Parenthood doesn't supply tissue from aborted fetuses to medical researchers. Women having an abortion are approached so the aborted tissue could help those suffering certain diseases and to study to find cures for others that are suffering. The only money spent is to move the material. That doesn't come from Planned Parenthood and the women don't get paid.

Foreclosure, contraception, women's rights, cutting health care, Republicans have big plans.

Now about bringing those jobs back. Oh, that's right. They never left. They were automated. I wonder when Trump breaks the news the jobs aren't coming back?

foreclosures which kicked more than 36,000 families out of their homes.

Can you explain what foreclosure means?

What regulations did they remove? When? Link?

All the tax cuts were expiring. So they ended up extending tax cuts for everybody. You're welcome!

Class warfare will be the upcoming growing divide now as the country grows more and more divided. I plan to sit back and watch it.

 

[bripat9643]

Did the foreclosed people not pay their bills?

Foreclosure is what happens when you don't pay your mortgage. It says so right there in the mortgage agreement that you sign. These leftwing dim bulbs think banks are charities.

Think of it ...highly uneducated rube white male jack asses inflicted Trump on us as an 'anti Elite Revolutionary" its an incredible feat of Stupid LOL
LOL Associated Press: Trump voter lost her home to new Treasury Secretary <----stupid moron voters gets what she deserves BETRAYAL LOL
Many Trump Voters Will Soon Feel Betrayed [They deserve it]
“Yes, the white working class is about to be betrayed.”
“The evidence of that coming betrayal is obvious in the choice of an array of pro-corporate, anti-labor figures for key positions. In particular, the most important story of the week — seriously, people, stop focusing on Trump Twitter — was the selection of Tom Price, an ardent opponent of Obamacare and advocate of Medicare privatization, as secretary of health and human services. This choice probably means that the Affordable Care Act is doomed — and Mr. Trump’s most enthusiastic supporters will be among the biggest losers.”

“Donald Trump won the Electoral College (though not the popular vote) on the strength of overwhelming support from working-class whites, who feel left behind by a changing economy and society. And they’re about to get their reward — the same reward that, throughout Mr. Trump’s career, has come to everyone who trusted his good intentions. Think Trump University.”
