Now, why do you think the bank feels they can loan money like this to this obviously high-risk borrower? Is this not an obvious example of skewed risk assessment probably based on the easy monetary policy that stems from the Fed?
Not at all. The only thing that stems from the FED is credit. The "easy" part stems from unregulation and deregulation. Without the "easy" people like the woman in this vid would never have gotten a loan.
No, what it makes it easy to sell credit is low lending standards. I wasn't talking about buying credit. I thought we already agreed that if the FED had no one to sell the credit to, no one who could get someone to sign on the dotted line, the FED wouldn't matter?
You have no concept of the real cause. The FED couldn't sell credit if it had no one to sell it to. Until you resolve this point, we're going to continue to go in circles.
The point is that they shouldn't have the ability to sell credit. Credit should be provided by the private sectors so they can properly judge risk and set interest rates.

Lol. You admit that banks instituted central banks like the FED out of fear of going bankrupt, but then you turn around and tell me that the banks, some of the most powerful segments of the economy are just going to leave the government alone because you say "should". You see, Josh, you beleive in cause-and-effect, but you just dont want to fucking admit it. The banks instituted the FED. NOT "The Government".

Right, and the FED prices the credit. They can make credit CHEAP which makes it EASY.

Your argument is crap, Josh.
You have no concept of risk.
