“Too-easy credit and millions of bad loans made during the U.S. housing bubble paved the way for the financial calamity and Great Recession that followed. Today, by contrast, credit is too tight.

“They [Oneida people] didn't want to fix problems one at a time. If someone invited them to a feminist convention, their answer would have been, 'In the new world women will have total equality, so lets spend our energy creating that whole new world.'

But today, banks are creating enough credit to bid up housing prices again.” IfsGivingYearsEnoughWould BeTodayUsedCasesHigherCreatingPercentYears AgoCreditIncomeUsed To BeQuartersBetter OffEquityHousingPaymentBuyers Author:Michael Hudson
“The Fed needs to adopt new tools, on its own and perhaps in cooperation with the other parts of the US government, to improve the economy from the bottom up. This includes increasing facilities for debt forgiveness for under-water mortgages and excessive student loans; increased credit facilities for small businesses and cooperatives; helping to underwrite mechanisms for creating affordable housing in cities; and more restrictive enforcement of financial regulatory rules to help rein in excessive banker risk and pay.” NeedsHelpingGovernmentWaterPayCitiesEconomyRiskStudentsCreatingToolsBottomFinancialCreditDebtFedsCooperationMechanismEnforcementSmall BusinessHousingLoanFacilityBankersMortgageAffordableReinsCooperativesStudent LoanAffordable Housing Author:Gerald Epstein
