High Noon: Banks vs. The Law (Mortgage Foreclosures) – Part 2

/ Jim Luke

So, just what is the “mortgage foreclosure crisis”?  One part, as suggested in part 1 of my “High Noon” series of posts on this issue is that the banks have lied in court in order to save money, cut corners, and rapidly foreclose on houses that they may or may not be able to prove they should be able to legally foreclose.  Part 1 suggested a political/legal crisis as we decide whether banks have to comply with laws and court procedures or not.

Now before I get into more explanation of the problems and potential risks to the economy from these foreclosure documentation problems, I want  to Jon Stewart give a quick overview of the problem. Unfortunately I can’t embed the video here (WordPress.com doesn’t have code for a Daily Show embed) so go here: http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-october-7-2010/foreclosure-crisis.

  5. Thought it was a pretty good read and clearly thought provoking. I didn’t go along with everything you had to convey regarding the topic, but on the whole, I think overall you affirmed your own point nicely. Simply reckoned I might chime along with a remark here. Look forward to the next, fascinating article
