Como resultado, hemos da\u00f1ado profundamente los cimientos de Main Street y Wall Street.<\/p>\n<p>En Main Street, abusamos del instrumento m\u00e1s importante para la propiedad de vivienda: la hipoteca de amortizaci\u00f3n total. La amortizaci\u00f3n de los pr\u00e9stamos establece una tasa de inter\u00e9s fija y un cronograma de pago para las hipotecas de viviendas, en la mayor\u00eda de los casos por 30 a\u00f1os. Pero recientemente hemos permitido que hipotecas enga\u00f1osas reemplacen pr\u00e9stamos amortizables y socaven la integridad del sistema. Estos trucos de pr\u00e9stamo, como los pr\u00e9stamos de prueba cuyas bajas tasas iniciales explotan en pagos inasequibles, comenzaron a llevar a la naci\u00f3n a la agitaci\u00f3n econ\u00f3mica. Luego profundizamos la crisis al cometer un segundo error: permitir que los corredores recibieran enormes pagos de bonificaci\u00f3n por llevar a los propietarios desprevenidos a estas hipotecas complicadas y m\u00e1s caras. De hecho, un estudio de The Wall Street Journal encontr\u00f3 que el 61 por ciento de los pr\u00e9stamos subprime originados en 2006 fueron para familias que calificaron para pr\u00e9stamos preferenciales.<\/p>\n<p>Estos pr\u00e9stamos han hecho un da\u00f1o tremendo. Se estima que 20,000 familias de Oreg\u00f3n y 2 millones de familias en todo el pa\u00eds perder\u00e1n sus hogares por ejecuci\u00f3n hipotecaria este a\u00f1o. Adem\u00e1s, el corte y troceado de estos pr\u00e9stamos y su reventa a instituciones financieras de todo el mundo envenenaron esas instituciones y congelaron los pr\u00e9stamos. El resultado es un v\u00f3rtice vicioso que est\u00e1 destruyendo millones de puestos de trabajo.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bfC\u00f3mo permitimos que esto sucediera? Este fiasco es la consecuencia de una colosal falla regulatoria. Los reguladores federales no controlaron las pr\u00e1cticas abusivas y, de hecho, abrieron lagunas que crearon gigantescos mercados financieros no regulados.<\/p>\n<p>Adem\u00e1s, los reguladores federales paralizaron la capacidad de los estados para reformar las pr\u00e1cticas crediticias al prohibir las restricciones a los bancos autorizados por el gobierno federal. Esta prohibici\u00f3n tambi\u00e9n desinfl\u00f3 los esfuerzos para regular las pr\u00e1cticas de los prestamistas autorizados por el estado, ya que tales regulaciones habr\u00edan creado un campo de juego injusto.<\/p>\n<p>Como dijo el exfiscal general de Carolina del Norte, \u201cquitamos a 50 alguaciles del trabajo durante el tiempo en que la industria de pr\u00e9stamos hipotecarios se estaba convirtiendo en el Salvaje Oeste\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Ha llegado el momento de evaluar y reparar los da\u00f1os.<\/p>\n<p>Primero, necesitamos apoyar esfuerzos agresivos para permitir que las familias atrapadas en hipotecas de alto riesgo negocien modificaciones que hagan que sus pagos sean m\u00e1s asequibles. El presidente Barack Obama ha dado pasos en la direcci\u00f3n correcta en este frente. Necesitamos monitorear el progreso y ayudar a asegurar el \u00e9xito.<\/p>\n<p>En segundo lugar, si las modificaciones de la hipoteca fallan, debemos respaldar la capacidad de los jueces de quiebras para ajustar los t\u00e9rminos de los pr\u00e9stamos. Los jueces de quiebras actualmente tienen el poder de ajustar los t\u00e9rminos de los pr\u00e9stamos para yates y casas de vacaciones. Es hora de permitir el mismo salvavidas para los hogares familiares.<\/p>\n<p>Tambi\u00e9n debemos poner fin a las pr\u00e1cticas hipotecarias enga\u00f1osas y abusivas. Necesitamos asegurarnos de que los pr\u00e9stamos teaser, los pr\u00e9stamos de opci\u00f3n triple y los pagos secretos de manejo nunca m\u00e1s persigan a las familias estadounidenses. <br \/>Finalmente, necesitamos restaurar la regulaci\u00f3n de sentido com\u00fan de Wall Street.<\/p>\n<p>Mientras nos preparamos para elaborar pol\u00edticas hipotecarias y de vivienda que fortalecer\u00e1n a las familias, debemos considerar el consejo del presidente Franklin Roosevelt, ya que nos sac\u00f3 de la \u00faltima gran crisis de vivienda de la naci\u00f3n. En un discurso de radio de 1932, Roosevelt declar\u00f3: \u201cEste deber\u00eda ser el objetivo del propio gobierno, brindar al menos tanta asistencia a los peque\u00f1os como ahora brinda a los grandes bancos y corporaciones\u201d.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is nothing that characterizes the American dream better than owning your own home.
