Edward DeMarco, head of the U.S. Federal Housing Finance Agency and underwater mortgage borrowers in the U.S.
08/31/2011
The Federal Housing Finance Agency was formed in 2008 by merging two existing regulatory agencies and given additional powers. Later that year Fannie and Freddie were taken over by the U.S. government. FHFA acts as the independent regulatory agency for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. FHFA's head, Edward DeMarco, sees his mandate as protecting the taxpayer from losses and this leads to reluctance to support steps to help underwater mortgage borrrowers with reduction in payments. Sheila Bair, former head of the FDIC, says she understands its not the FHA's mandate to provide fiscal stimulus, and the Obama administration has been all over the place in its policies for troubled homeowners. The result of the muddled policies of the federal government and agencies is the lack of help for troubled homeowners, and larger headwinds to Fed policies to give the U.S. economy momentum.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
