The full story here. Some highlights:
On the status of the US mortgage market: “This is a market purely on life
support, sustained by the federal government.”
FHA is now doing more business than both Fannie and Freddie. The reason is
FHA is still offering 3.5% down payment mortgages. Mr. Stevens thoughts on
this:
“Having FHA do this much volume is a sign of a very sick system.”
On the status of FHA’s “book”: "FHA has been |

Former eBay chief executive Meg Whitman and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly

By NICK TIMIRAOS
The Obama administration on Tuesday will launch its most ambitious effort at
reducing mortgage balances for homeowners who owe more than their homes are

homeowners who are current on their mortgage payments but are at risk of

Breaking news's been popping up on a number of news channels. It is not yet
clear what exactly has been agreed upon by the parties. However, the confluence
of the information sources seems to have indicated the bottom line---There
will not be an iminent government shutdown.
Whew...one less overhange for the market. |

随着与chuck越来越多的接触与交流，对他有了更深一步的了解，他为选民服务的信念
，更让我刮目相看。从Chuck 一再坚持的事情中我感受到林肯所宣扬的“government
of the people, by the people,for the people".
他的坚持之一是for the people. Chuck 与我们谈话中经常讲到不喜欢候选人的sign
上写着Vote DEM xxx or Republican xxx字眼。他认为那种竞选不是为了人民，是为了
政党。我终于明白了他不愿意在他竞选宣传单上加上Vote for Republican Candidate
Chuck Page。我们一再告诉他发宣传单时，选民尤其亚裔总是会问Chuck是不是共和党
；在我们一再强烈要求下，也只是在不显眼地方加上lifelong Republican. 他这次出
来选州众议员不是为了选而选是想为选民做点事，想解决加州问题。他的宗旨是people
