Trump Reverses Obama's Mortgage Fee Cuts on First Day
The new administration on Friday said it’s canceling a reduction in the Federal Housing Administration’s annual fee for most borrowers. The cut would have reduced the annual premium for someone borrowing $200,000 by $500 in the first year.

“This action is completely out of alignment with President Trump’s words about having the government work for the people," said John Taylor, president of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition, through a spokesman. "Exactly how does raising the cost of buying a home help average people?”
**** So it begins, thanks Trump - way to stimulate the home market by adding another burden to the middle class who are finding it even harder to purchase homes. ****
- lol @ canceling it just because obama did it. what a little babyscarabin
- because it helps deter the big investment funds from buying up the inventory which creates a rental and home value bubble. and hopefully help deter regular homedeathboy
- buyers from getting sucked into the trap. when mortage is cheaper than rent, but a homes cost is over valued by like a third of the estimated value...deathboy
- ^ big investment funds wouldn't need an FHA loan to buy up inventory...whatthefunk
- but really such a small drop in the bucket of the larger issuesdeathboy
- ^Wow, look at that!whatthefunk
- Talk about looking the other way when it comes to stimulating the economy, imagine if Hillary had done that?!?!?!whatthefunk
- fuck, and i wanted to buy something this year toomonospaced
- guys!!!! wait. for sure omg has a reasonable explanation. just wait for it before you're drawn to fast conclusions...LOL!oey
- I'm all ears, can't wait to hear this rationale...whatthefunk
- @wtfunk, deathboy likes to fill these bubbles with lots of dribble and then brush it off like it's no big deal after being proven woefully incorrect.BuddhaHat
- Sometimes you just won't get an answer at all! You're right though, they would be flinging shit like enraged chimps if it was Hillary.BuddhaHat
- @buddha, he takes after the GOPwhatthefunk
- @wtfunk If omg ever starts to get illogical, ask him what Khizr Khan would say? That was one of his best meltdowns... utterly unhinged and irrational, lol.BuddhaHat
- this policy also generates a competitive advantage for mortgage lenders to make more money for their business.whatthefunk
- @oey Just news of uncertainty. A hold on such policies allows Ben Carson to review before deciding whether it should take effect.omg
- Betsy Devos' wiki entry having the word 'education' 56 times was another cracker.BuddhaHat
- Ooo, good one, omg. Ben 'I have no government experience' Carson will know what to do!BuddhaHat
- Let the "it's not Trump, it's his administration" rhetoric begin...whatthefunk
- Only a drooling fucktard would think Ben Carson would go against the administration's goal of fucking the regular guy in the ass ... to deathmonospaced
- oh naw i didnt think about the FHA for investments. that is correct. but on teh second point to decentivize home buying is a good thing. especially in my marketdeathboy
- well no no smaller investors would still use it. lot of people dont purchase in entirety. guess id need to know more than the article illustrates. on one handdeathboy
- you could say the FHA is unnecessary after stress tested. could say its to help them be more solvant. so next time tax payers dont bail it out...deathboy
- Glad they are not letting people get in over their head in debt "allows borrowers to make down payment of as low as 3.5 percent with a credit score of 580"robotron3k
- You see the if someone has bad credit at 620, it makes sense that people with lower credit score to stay away from debt until they get their credit up.robotron3k
- This is the same way the housing bubble occurred, people who couldn't afford homes were sold homes that they could eventually not pay when interest rate went uprobotron3k
- and buddha you need to relax. anyone ever tell you you take this stuff way too personal. you have to remember this medium is for fleeting crapdeathboy
- these notes aren't designed for real discourse, so you cant fully expect people to stay on topic when there is like 40 posts a day. this is a pig troughdeathboy
- deathboy is correct, in other words, this is a good thing. Obama is yet again a huge idiot. Bye bye O!robotron3k

Nothing screams shifting the power "from Washington to the people" like electing a narcissistic, conman, self proclaimed billionaire and appointing a Cabinet with a combined net worth more than the accumulated net worth of every Cabinet in history.

- wow, I wasn't aware of that net worth comparison, that is unbelievably swampyBuddhaHat
- Obama got out like 500% richer, so did many of his cabinet and appointees... where's the uproar??robotron3k
- read Buster's post again, robotard. worth more than all other cabinets combined. comparisons fail at that point. fuck off.BuddhaHat

And Trump looks fucking yuuuuge. DId he eat one of his ex wives or mistresses?
- Telling you, he's going to stroke out because of stress before his term is up.face_melter

Found it odd as to how overtly religious the inauguration was. Either they're all a bunch of idiots or they're just trolling everyone, either way they aren't fit to lead.
Will there ever be a US president that stands on the balcony on Inauguration Day and says "swear on the bible? I don't need any of this nonsense" lets usher in a new age of reason, intelligence and scientific thought. Lets focus on eachother and our little blue planet and not on imaginary gods in the sky.

I'm not saying Trump is going to be a good president, that he deserves a chance or whatever, fuck him
All the bashing against him in the media is not far from his level, just openly and undisguisedly rude
What point are people trying to make, if you all creeping shiteaters are made from the same clay that he is?- we didn't even watch that shit todaymonospaced
- I resent that... I've seen omg openly eating shit, and I won't have you casting aspersions about him creeping around about it.BuddhaHat
- Liberal Dems are very vindictive and judgmental and obviously can be violent. Not sure why that's a trait of liberals but they did start the KKK. So there.robotron3k
- oh fuck off. 8 years of Obama bashing from the right and now the left are supposed to play nice?inteliboy
- Fantastic display of historical ignorance there robotron...see_thru
- It's not an issue of deserving chances because that's what elections are for. It's that folks aren't accepting the results that they lost.omg
- If they did, they'd be winning
