People should own up to their commitments. People should be responsible. This is more than just a contract. It's what holds the entire economy together."

Cari Anderson's East Bay Mortgage Update for August 23rd 2010 Economic News:   A quiet day with no economic reports to speak of.  The rest of the week will provide a fair amount of data assisting the near term view of where things are heading.   A lot of debt is scheduled to be auctioned off this week.  There will be U.S. Treasury Auctions as well as a host of Municipal Bond Sales.  All this together will make for a lot of supply, and competition for mortgage paper, so keep a close eye on the bond markets this week.

Over at the Bloodhound Blog, Ken Montville asked the nagging question about the future of the mortgage market: Unfortunately, even Congress - that bastion of liberalism and home of the bailout - is tiring of pouring good money after bad into the two mortgage giants that have been sucking up all the mortgages - good and bad - that private industry is willing to create.

Now, the big questions remains: What will happen next? If there is no Fannie and Freddie to buy up all the mortgages, who will do it? Will the lenders who originate the mortgages be forced to keep them on their books an... 08/17/2010
