That Pretty Much Nails It
PetraeusForPresident (Diary) Wednesday, October 1st at 5:57PM EST (link)sadly, this is what our national Treasury has been reduced to.
The craziest part of all about this bailout is that it will have to be 100% financed through the Treasury bond market, and will have the inevitable effect of crowding out capital for private debt markets and causing risk-free benchmark rates to rise.
The U.S. Treasury has never even attempted to auction $700 billion in one year before, let alone on top of the existing $450 billion deficit that has to be financed similarly.
That is all without taking into account the anticipated huge drop in tax revenue next year.

Brilliant satire
SirGladiator (Diary) Wednesday, October 1st at 8:40PM EST (link)This really does a magnificant job of exposing the socialist bailout plan for what it is, its just a scam. I remember some days back this being described as a ‘legacy vote’ and thats quite right. Anyone who votes for this socialist scheme really doesn’t need to call themselves a Republican, and we surely don’t need them in Congress.
Anyone who is willing to fall for ‘the sky is falling’ politics of fear and vote to give away over 800 billion of our money at a whim is truly unqualified for elective office, and I cannot, and will not, vote for anyone who does so, the only exception being that I will still vote for McCain because of Sarah Palin. I think if she were the Presidential candidate instead of the running mate she would’ve embraced the Free Market alternative pushed by Newt and other Republicans. I hope every Republican, and Democrat as well of course, who votes for this loses their re-election campaign, they certainly deserve to. Whether they’re truly a socialist at heart or simply play one on TV, and in Congress, I don’t want them anywhere near my money.

How does this plan inject capital
Spiral (Diary) Wednesday, October 1st at 8:59PM EST (link)into the financial services sector when the federal government will have to issue 700 billion dollars of additional US Treasury debt in order to obtain the money to purchase the Mortgage Backed Securities?
There really isn’t going to be any additional capital in the system. It’s just a shell game. More US Treasury debt held in the economy; Mortgage debt held by the US Treasury.
The only real impact of this bill will be to transfer the risk from the people who purchased these “toxic assets” to the taxpayers.
We have been told, “Don’t worry. The taxpayer will end up making money on these investments.” If that’s the case, you might think that investment banks would be able to sell them for more than 22 cents on the dollar.
Home prices might decline further in some areas of the country. This means that the taxpayer could end up owning lots of vacant houses or houses where the debtor isn’t paying his or her mortgage.
This is the biggest public housing bill in US history.

Every day, this plan looks more foolish. If the Treasury were really interested in adding credit, why not simply seek permission to loan money to intact banks? There’s plenty of good banks out there.
Oh, but that doesn’t bail out Wall Street speculators. Never mind.

Feds could own and manage thousands of houses
GregInFla (Diary) Wednesday, October 1st at 9:51PM EST (link)or hundreds of thousands of homes. And you thought absentee landlords were bad. Wait til Uncle Sam owns a third of the homes on your street, and they are in disrepair, and you cannot sue them to maintain the homes.
A House Republican on Mark Levin’s show pointed this out tonight, after Sen DeMint was on with his objections.
My analogy, as a East Central Floridian during the hurricanes of 2004, is this: your house is destroyed; you need a new one. Do you just buy the first house you see that the realtor said was really solid and a good buy, or spend some time, and maybe more money on interim stays in hotels, researching the best homes, getting inspections, etc., because you just cannot undo a house purchase. If this bailout plan has problems, it cannot be easily or quickly undone without a huge cost.
My GOP Congressman (weldon) voted for it, saying he felt we had to do something. I guess he’d struggle in the quick sand instead of being calm.

That's actually not the real problem.
Moe Lane (Diary) Wednesday, October 1st at 10:03PM EST (link)The real problem is that if the Feds start owning mortgages wholesale they now have a positive incentive to meddle in the real estate market. If they own one of your mortgages, they don’t actually want you going anywhere: it loses them money in the long term if you get foreclosed – or, worse, pay off the mortgage early. So… they can make arrangements, ease up on a regulation or two, offer a discount here – all things that regular mortgage companies would love to be able to do, but they can’t, because they’re not the government.
Doesn’t sound fair to the rest of us? Then go refinance a new loan from the government! Easy as pie, and problem solved.
Put simply, this deal is a stone-cold moneymaker, thanks to the fact that the feds are going to be able to fire sale the initial investment. That’s the problem.

Since you're so sure of a profitable return.
MrSandman (Diary) Wednesday, October 1st at 10:13PM EST (link)I’ll take 50% of my share now. You can have the rest. I’ll send you my address for the check whenever you want.
Heck…I’ll take 40% to cover postage and handling and whatnot.
What could be fairer.
You get 60% of my guaranteed future returns simply for waiting until they cash in at par value.
And…in all seriousness…how could a “stone cold moneymaker” possibly be a problem??
“Americans can no longer trust the economic information they are getting from this Administration.”

What about the decreased value?
Maggie_in_Indiana (Diary) Wednesday, October 1st at 10:19PM EST (link)The mortgage is for 200,000,but the home is worth 100,000,that’s a loss. They are gambling that the home values will go. Well don’t we all.
My house apraised for 135,ooo 6 years ago,now it’s at 50,000 and in better shape than when I bought it.
Too many loopholes,risk,and power in the hands of too few people.

What about it, Maggie_in_Indiana?
Moe Lane (Diary) Wednesday, October 1st at 10:32PM EST (link)They buy the mortgage at the value that you’d expect for a good $50,000 loan, then walk up to you and ask “How would you like a mulligan on your home loan? The new number is 100 grand. Thirty years. Same interest rate. No balloon payment. Think that you can pay that?”
Guess what? That loan’s worth something again (which means that it can be sold), because you probably can. And the government can get away with it, because it’s the government, and it can manipulate market value if it wants to. And in your case, it wants to.

My (combined) wish list.
You are correct, however....
nivlem (Diary) Wednesday, October 1st at 10:33PM EST (link)these loans are bundled….only 5% to 10% will default….
The rest of us will continue to pay our
mortages at the value we procurred our mortgage at.
I will attempt me try to make this leap clear and simple even though it is no where near my expertise….
The government purchases from a lending
institute 100 loans that two years ago
were finance 100% for $300,000. The homes have decreased in value $30%, and are now worth $210,000.
They purchase these loans for $265,000.
Ten of them default. They sell them for
a net value of $175,0000. A net loss of
app. $450,000.
The other homeowners continue to pay their mortgage which is valued $35,000
until either they sell or pay it off.
Most of us sell our homes within seven years. The odds are if you sell within even three years, the home will be worth more than the $210,000 it is valued at now. In addition, each of us will pay off the mortage we took out, or pay it off.
In the meantime, the Feds (us) are getting mortgage payments exceeding our investment.
This is a crude, very simplistic synopsis of the way I see it and why we
will not lose money and stand to gain.
So have at it, all you wise RedStaters.
Strange, but my favorite part was...

Gerasim Thursday, October 2nd at 12:05AM EST (link)..that the bank’s balance sheet is strong enough to withstand a write-down of its $200,000 note to less than $50,000.
Since the point of the exercise is to recapitalize the banks, I would guess that Sec. Paulson will find a way to overpay.
I don’t have a problem with that, really; I’d certainly take that prescription over having Treasury agents going door-to-door renegotiating mortgages.
