Moreover, mortgages are usually securitized.

The Secretary General may summarily dismiss a member of the staff for serious misconduct.

In Roman mythology, Jupiter drew a veil of clouds around himself to hide his mischief.

The dubious mortgage securities are so called mortgage backed securities.

People have to learn how to be accountable for their wrong doing and not be protected all the time.

Like Nixon, they have paid a higher price for concealing their misdeeds than they would have for the misdeeds alone.

This is a big blow to citizens who seek to expose wrongdoings in the government through the Internet.

So far, the sub prime crisis has had a limited direct impact on Latin America s mortgage markets. In Mexico, the market for new low and middle income housing has grown rapidly, thanks to the creation of a market for residential mortgage securities in 2003.

America exported its toxic mortgages around the world, in the form of asset backed securities. America exported its deregulatory free market philosophy, which even its high priest, Alan Greenspan, now admits was a mistake.

Most important, Latin America s mortgage markets and homeowners are very different from those in the US.

Nearly all mortgages have floating rates that vary with the five year loan rate set by the People s Bank. However, late last year, Everbright Bank and some others began offering fixed rate mortgages.

From 2000 through 2007, millions of American homeowners entered into mortgage contracts to finance their homes.

In the United States, brokers were selling mortgages without checking whether the borrower had the means to repay.

As prices went up and recessionary pressures increased, many homeowners failed to pay their mortgages.

It also explains why journalists in those countries have so often bent over backwards to apologize for individual transgressions, rather than stand in defiance.

When fiscal misbehavior by Greece, a country representing no more than 2 of the eurozone s GDP, poses serious dangers for the survival of the currency union, something is clearly amiss.

When asked to desist from spreading corruption in the land they say Why, we are reformers.

America managed to pass off bad mortgages worth hundreds of billions of dollars to investors (including banks) around the world.

First, household debt levels are enormous, capturing a quarter of income, with mortgage payments taking the lion s share.

Instead, easy money stimulated the economy by inducing households to refinance their mortgages, and to spend some of their capital.

High home prices are already putting great stress on many families, which are struggling to make their mortgage payments.

When the Pope blamed the sexual transgressions on these challenges, he may have been at least partly right, but not for the reasons he believes.

This implies that QE would not reach, say, Spanish households, whose mortgages are indexed to short term rates, which are already close to zero.

When the pyramid starts crumbling, government that is, taxpayers must step in to refinance the banking system, revive mortgage markets, and prevent economic collapse.

Companies using toxic materials want to anticipate which workers may be genetically sensitive to toxic exposure. Schools, motor vehicle bureaus, adoption agencies, mortgage lenders, organ transplant registries all have a stake in information about genetic predispositions.

After the subprime crisis erupted, mortgage and consumer debt was paid down by households either with their savings or by default. The fall in US total debt, and the narrowing of the financing gap between total debt and domestic funds, led to a significant improvement in the US current account deficit in 2008 2009, disproving US Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben Bernanke s claim that the deficit was caused by a global saving glut.

Banks are creatively tapping into migrant worker remittances, multiple family households, and other previously overlooked sources of potential income and creditworthiness.

Nationalizing Fannie and Freddie, and using them to peg the price of mortgages, would have been the cleanest and easiest way to accomplish that.

Already, 2.2 trillion of wealth has been wiped out, and about eight million households have negative equity their homes are worth less than their mortgages.

Delinquencies, defaults, and foreclosures are now spreading from sub prime to near prime and prime mortgages.
