Pat Buchanan, is one of America's leading conservative voices, a political analyst and regular contributor on MSNBC Morning Joe Show!

He is also out of touch with reality and doesn`t quite understanding what transpired in the housing market.

Pat believes the public is responsible for their actions in regards to the "Housing Crisis" he uses the term "Risk" as if everything should be pointed directly at the poor schmuck who purchased a home. Millions of people are underwater with their homes and Pat wants the public to accept the entire blame and be done with it!

 

It`s always amazing when the pundits of conservatism speak without knowing all sides of a disgusting story. 

He forgets to mention the lenders who gave these loans to the public, the "teaser rates" they encouraged the unsuspecting homeowners to take advantage of. It`s scary, when I used to deal with buyers and we were looking at homes in their price range only to contact a Mortgage Broker who would tell them "Great News" you can actually afford to purchase a home $100,000 more than originally thought!

Naturally, these home buyers would immediately listen to the professionals guide them! Why not! Isn`t that the  job of the lenders to give an honest and open opinion and not steer the public towards purchasing a home they couldn`t afford in the first place?!

How does Pat forget to mention this tidbit of info?

Shall we discuss the "Home Builders" such as KB Homes,Toll  Brothers, Engle and DR Horton who would run huge ads on "preconstruction homes". Homes that were get this "affordable to the public". Who can forget the inflated appraisals these builders were able to get the lenders to approve on site!

I remember the days of the preconstruction era because i was smack in the middle of the frenzy. We would take potential buyers to these model homes. Speak with the builders representatives and they in turn would introduce them to the on-site lenders such as Wells Fargo or  Countrywide Bank. Guess what would transpire next? The buyer would be told they could afford a home with 100% financing,the builders would throw in a free upgrade or three in order to get these home buyers to sign on the dotted line that day!

Pat doesn`t understand it`s not the public`s fault.Than again,why should he? He gets paid a hefty salary for consulting jobs he does for these people so quite naturally, he`ll say anything to defend his croonies.

What`s up with that Pat? Why don`t you come clean to the general public? 

I`m truly sorry for people like Pat who can just shrug their massive shoulders and go on TV , lay blame on the "Little Guy".. Wonder why Pat doesn`t disclose who he gets paid by and why he goes on the "Morning Joe" show each day spewing a conservative opinion that benefits his rich banker friends...

I guess it`s all in a days work for him, who knows!!

Don't forget to mention the mortgage industry was pushed into lowering their standards by Federal mandates back in the Janet Reno days.  Overall you are correct about Pat , he is out of touch with the reality of what is happening on the streets of America.

I think he just likes to hear himself vent anymore, and most people (hopefully) don't listen to him anymore.

So true, Scott.  Sometimes it is just best to turn the channel and if we all did that he could speak to himself.

Scott - while I personally have no time for him, you are in fact guilty of what you are accusing him of! It was just in 2004 when President Bush and the Republican Congress tried to get a handle on this, but were blocked by Democrats who suggested it was a political witch hunt against Franklin Raines (I can supply the audio if you really need me to). The business of lending money on homes had been the least risky and most profitable part of the banking business for years. Unfortunately Government got involved and literally threatened the Banks with law suits if they did not lend to people who clearly had no chance whatsoever of ever paying it back. The financial industry is not without guilt either and neither are some of the people that Buchanan refers to. Equally there are thousands and thousands of people out there who made the kind of money they could only dream about before by managing to time the market correctly. The complete picture is always the best way to go.

Amen Scott. If the greedy ones on Wall street did not get into this we would not have the mess we have now. It is interesting that he forgets that. Maybe that is who pays him

I'm a union construction worker and earn a decent wage.  I could purchase (financed over 60 months) a corvette tomorrow because I have an outstanding credit score.  I always wanted a corvette.  But, if I took a loan out on a corvette, I would have less cash in my bank account for the proverbial "rainy day."  So I make a reasoned decision not to indulge my dream of a corvette and continue to work and save, and be content with my Dodge Dakota.  I LIVE WITHIN MY MEANS. 

Most people in America do not live within a budget.  Every moron wants a stucco faced McMansion with vaulted ceilings when they should be happy with a small house that they can afford.  These people over-extended themselves and should pay for their mistake.  Maybe they will learn a lesson. 

Why should I help some guy who purchased a house he can not afford?  I can afford my house and no one is helping me.  Let them drown!
