Republicans….how do you feel about the banks taking advantage of red states ?
Link to what i’m talking about:

We all know that the financial crisis didn’t just affect Liberals, and didn’t just affect Conservatives… we were all affected. People lost their homes and investments everywhere….
Some people aren’t aware that even after foreclosure, giving it back to the bank, or small selling your home… you could still be on the hook for thousands of dollars of deficiency on your homes value.
Many people are finding themselves in the circumstance described in the article….. bought a home when economy was excellent, economy tanks, home prices dive, lost jobs, foreclosure….
So can the bank hit you up directly for these enormous sums of money, even though the small sale or forelosure couldn’t be done without the banks approval ?
The answer is….
DEPENDS ON WHERE YOU LIVE.
See …the red state voters typically side with the banks, the corporate entities, and they elect politicians who are corporate minded people, excellent ol’ supply side boys… they don’t usually side with the consumer. This is the reason that Repulican led states, are mostly the states where the banks can pursue you, and they can wait up to five years…potentially increasing the loss to you on purpose.., before they file a judgement against you.
So how do you feel about supporting politicians who side with the banks that are essentially picking on red states ?
Try to follow this one..
This basically means that the bank losses from the banks in blue states, where they cannot pursue that negative equity, is going to be passed on, through distributed declines in home values, to red states where they can legally pursue it.
Now…dont’ get me incorrect…
I believe if you take out a loan, you should pay that loan off. You agreed to pay, you should pay.
But… I also feel that the responsiblity for this “investment” should not just be on the consumer in the event that the value of that investment plummets. The bank made the loan with the intention of making money, but that profit intention is no more guaranteed than the equitability of that investement made jointly with the consumer. Additionally, there should not be a legal instrument, in which the lender can legally delay filing a judgement, for the purpose of increasing their claim. It would appear that practice is yet another practice, where the bank is taking advantage of the consumer, by placing all of the potential future losses of that property investement on consumer.
What’s worse is that they are doing these things using money that isn’t even technically theirs. It’s OURS. They’re using Peter, to kill Paul.
This is something everyone should be aware of, whether you are conservative or liberal, and especially if you are considering allowing your home to go into foreclosure.
Check the laws in your state and get a lawyer before you do anything !!

“Once they have a judgment, they can pursue you anywhere,” said Richard Zaretsky, a board-certified real estate attorney in West Palm Beach, Fla. “They can question for financial records, have your wages garnished and, if you fail to respond, a judge can place you in jail.”
In the case of foreclosure, lenders can pursue deficiencies in more than 30 states, including Florida, New York and Texas, according to the U.S. Foreclosure Network, an organization of mortgage law firms.
Some states, such as California, are “non-recourse” and don’t allow deficiency judgments. But, even there, if the if the original loan was refinanced, some or all of it may be subject to claims.
James… the lenders made terrible loans on of their own free will…because they thought home prices would go up forever…so even if the consumer defaulted, they would have positive equity in the home itself allowing them to recoup the loan and still make a profit….
That is the simple truth to this whole thing man…
Did people take those loans willingly ? of course…. and the banks made them willingly..because they were greedy.
It boils down to this….
Should the bank be completely insulated from shady investments, and all of the reponsibility placed on the individual ? ..EVEN AFTER FORCLOSURE !???
Who advocates for the consumer in this capitalist equation ?

Fulfilling a contract that you signed – I wish life we honest.
We have to have accountability my friend, because without it we might as well burn the constitution.
If red states typically side with banks and blue states don’t, how do you clarify Obama bailing the banks out and conservatives consistently saying the banks should have been allowed to fail?
My government is taking more advantage of me.
Really robot_hooker 5, Obama bailed out the auto industry, the bank bailouts came from Bush…a Conservative.
It all is dependent on your smarts and your credit rating. If you cannot pay back a loan you will not get one UNLESS the Obama adm. decides to DEMAND that the lender make a terrible loan. People who work and take care of their credit can buy a home, a car, start a business and the same for businesses if they took care of their credit they are just fine BUT it is the ones that should have never received credit and are the one that made this financial problem are now the ones Obama is trying to place back into the credit equation. There is plenty of money available but it does not make excellent political sense to admit to it.
It is so scary how much republicans trust the corporations
I have found that people who “question questions” with this much follow-up are really just trying to convince themselves of something.
