As individuals open saving accounts, they believe there money will be safely sitting around in a bank but unfortunately they are wrong. The money located in the savings account is used by other individuals who ask the bank for loans. When the loan is made, the bank draws money from all the savings accounts available. When it’s time for the loan to be paid off, the individual does not only pay the amount borrowed but also the interest rate charge on the loan. As of December 13, 2013 as stated in the inquirer, “the recent budget deal in the United States should calm global financial markets and allow investors to focus on performers like the Philippines” (Montecillo, 2013).

The creation of Fannie Mae in 1938 marks a critical turn in U.S. of America housing policy and financing; Fannie Mae mission was to facilitate a secondary market for mortgages issued under FHA program guidelines. This created an environment where banks and other financial institutions can originate loans, sell them to investors in the secondary market and not bare any risk in the aftermath of a default, which encourage mortgage lenders to originate high risky loans, lower lending standards, and not have these loans on their balance sheets. The creation of Fannie Mae, Ginnie Mae, and Freddie Mac shaped lending practices at banks and other mortgage-lending firms. They created a secondary market for mortgages, which resulted in the creation of exotic financial instruments like MBS and CDOs. This changes allows the pooling of mortgages together and the creation of Mortgage Back Securities, which were then sold to investors in the secondary market.
Many loans didn't require down payments or documented proof of income. Several large investment funds and banks have already taken billion-dollar hits from losses on defaulting mortgages. As policy makers grasped for new options, experts remained divided over how much the plan will ultimately cost taxpayers, who should be held accountable for creating the economic debacle in the first place and whether the rescue plan would prevent a deep recession
Outsourcing American white collar jobs Omar Herrera Comm/112 02/22/2012 Rick De La Pena Outsourcing American white collar jobs 70% of graduate students and 79% of under graduate students in a recent poll out of a group of New York universities, are in support of legislature to outlaw outsourcing (Speter, K. (2008)). Americans for years have been use to seeing items with an American name on it but with a made in China, or made in India stamp on it as well. What Americans do not realize is that even though the production of those items were outsourced, the management and support of those products are also being outsourced. Within countries that have benefited from outsourcing, such as China and India, poverty levels have dropped
Congress must agree on a plan, which could take years, and then the market must be weaned slowly from dependence on the companies and the financial backing they provide. The reasons by now are well understood. Fannie and Freddie, created to increase the availability of mortgage loans, misused the government's support to enrich shareholders and executives by backing millions of shoddy loans. Taxpayers so far have spent more than $135 billion on the cleanup. The much more divisive question is whether the government should preserve the benefits that the companies provide to middle-class borrowers, including lower interest rates, lenient terms and the ability to get a mortgage even when banks are not making other kinds of loans.
The partners initially concluded that Stemberg was overestimating the market. “Look,” Stemberg told Romney, “your mistake is that the guys you called think they know what they spend, but they don’t.” Romney and Bain Capital went back to the businesses and tallied up invoices. Stemberg’s assessment that this was a hidden giant of a market seemed right after all. So Bain Capital invested $650,000 to help Staples open its first store in Brighton, Massachusetts, in May 1986. In all, it invested about $2.5 million in the company.

Rodriguez argues that more needs to be done about regulating cash lender services, similar to the way banks have been regulated for decades. What I find interesting is that if banks have been experiencing a period of de-regulation in the last 40 years, and it’s still cheaper to get a bank loan or create a checking account, then how many regulations are these cash lender services exempt from? In other words, how bad is it,
