Lenders and Brokers Left Out of Bailout
It may be good news for consumers due to ever lower interest rates but the news isn’t good for the many small to medium scale lenders and brokers for they say they have been left out of the bailout assistance package. The news hits them hard as they find this out and they are crying foul on all sides due to the strain of the financial crisis. Even Freddie and Mae, have had it rough with losses in the billions but they have fared better than these guys for with low income, they stand to lose a lot from the current housing market standings. There was a shimmer of hope in the market when the consumer buying index went up which may have signaled a turnaround of the economy but that was a mere glitch that again headed down.
The US is now being hailed at the thrift country for the extreme measures that have to be put in place to allow people to continue living with threats coming from all sides. Mortgage issues, foreclosure, job loss and many other issues that have been brought about by the ever worsening economy are taxing hard. People have nothing else to do but keep on living and taking it in, but how long they can do so remains to be seen.
