It is very easy for young buyers to assume that a mortgage lender would not make a risky loan.

But this hinges back to the regulations that were repealed at the behest of those who gave campaign contributions to the politicians whose heads should roll in November.

Should the home buyers have known they were being duped? Of course. But let’s make sure the voters are not duped again.
