In short (the rest of the detailed information is at the link on the bottom), Fannie Mae (Federal National Mortgage Association) and Freddie Mac (Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation) were the main causes of the housing market collapse and subsequent economic downturn.
They engaged in massive amounts of subprime lending (Alt-A mortages, “stated income, stated asset” loans, no down payments, etc) to the tune of over $1.6 trillion and sold these back on the market as mortgage-backed securities.
Clinton’s HUD ratcheted up the subprime (lending to “underserved”, low-income and very low-income areas) lending quotas of the Community Reinvestment Act and here we are now.
It’s no surprise that AIG, Countrywide, IndyMac and Washington Mutual were heavily invested in these mortgage-backed securities. Call your Senators and Congressman. Demand that Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae be elimintated.

What order should you pay your bills? First, mortgage, then car payment, then credit cards, then any medical bills. Your mortgage, car payment and credit cards have interest charges that will apply immediately if you miss a payment, so they should always be first. If you have more questions, you can call the United Way’s helpline at 1-800-427-4626 or 2-1-1 for information about trusted community resources in the Greater St. Louis area you can turn to.
