On June 16, 1933, the Home Owners Loan Corporation was founded. This corporation helped people by buying up mortgages from banks, and then refinanced them so homeowners would be able to afford the payments. When the Depression came to an end, the HOLC had saved over 20% of the mortgaged homes. <BR/><BR/>A provision under state law that allowed state courts to exempt mortgagers from foreclosure became a <A HREF="http://law.jrank.org/pages/13455/Home-Building-Loan-Association-v-Blaisdell.html" REL="nofollow">Supreme Court case</A> regarding the Constitutional prohibition on state impairment of contracts.<BR/><BR/>As part of the New Deal, in 1938 the government created the Federal National Mortgage Association to buy conforming mortgages from banks. The money they got for the loans freed the banks up to make new loans. (This is essentially what the bailout does -- buy up banks' toxic securities so they'll have money to make new loans.)PGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09381347581328622706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9864334.post-48934508364883174692008-09-27T17:33:00.000-04:002008-09-27T17:33:00.000-04:00I didn't catch the blogging when it was live, but ...I didn't catch the blogging when it was live, but I watched the entire debate (yay for me; I rarely do), and I think you did a great job.<BR/><BR/>I liked that Obama talked about math and science education. <BR/><BR/>Can't wait for the Palin/Biden debate - that should be interesting.

You could also drink on "Senator Obama just doesn't understand ...." which I found really patronizing and annoying. <BR/><BR/>We definitely were thinking that the democratic league would involve super heroes. But we were also struck by the battle of the bracelets as if they were some sort of supernatural talisman. <BR/><BR/>The BF summed it up this way (which I thought was hilarious):<BR/><BR/>McCain: You besmirch the honor of your dead soldier, and I call on all Americans to-- SOULREAVER HARVEST BOMB ATTACK!!!!!<BR/><BR/>Obama: SOULREAVER FIST OF ALLAH, AID ME!<BR/>[Both attacks fail harmlessly]<BR/><BR/>Lehrer: It seems as though this contest will not be decided by the skills of the soulreaver.
