US foreclosures under scrutiny

US foreclosures under scrutiny


The number of homes being repossessed in the United States fell nationwide this past month, and could fall even further.

But hundreds of thousands of Americans are on the brink of losing their homes, amid accusations that banks have been wrongly handling foreclosures.

The foreclosure crisis began with the recession of 2008, when the US housing bubble burst. Lenders were faced with millions of defaults at once, and lacked the manpower to process all the paperwork.

This contributed to what has become known as "robo-signing", bank staff signing off on repossessions, without properly checking all the documents. Now there is an ongoing legal investigation into foreclosure practices in all fifty states.

And several major financial institutions have temporarily halted thousands of foreclosure proceedings while this is going on.

Al Jazeera's Scott Heidler traveled to the frontlines of the foreclosure crisis, to the city of Portland, Maine, where the allegations first emerged.

Bankruptcy of U.S. is Mathematical Certainty, Says John Allison, Former CEO of Nation's 10th Largest Bank

“I think the first thing we have to realize is where we’re going and to face it objectively,” Allison told CNSNews.com, when asked about the trillion-dollar-plus deficits the federal government has run for three straight years, the more than $13 trillion in federal debt, and the $61.9 trillion long-term shortfall the government faces (according to the analysis of the Peter G.

Quantitative Easing 2: US economy continues to sink (03Nov10)

The broke United States are pretending that printing more money will recover their economy - it won't. The money meant and banks will make the money, and the little people paying the taxes will be hung out to dry. The US economy is sinking to oblivion.

Congratulations to idiots like Gordon Brown and President Obama, who actually believe in their idol Keynes in how to ruin an economy.

What the money markets have done is give a loaded gun to sucker politicians, and said if you don't give us money, we'll pull the trigger and collapse the economy. The politicians give these crooks more money, and the economy continues to sink anyway. The politicians are in on the scam.

If people like Brown and Obama wonder why people do not support them, look at what the politicians have DELIBERATELY done to their economies.
