I haven't ever borrowed money that I did not study the agreement.
There was nothing complicated about these mortgage loans, you are just trying to make it that way to suit your beliefs.
The first mortgage loan I ever took had a balloon payment required at the end of the term where you could roll it over, pay it off, or walk away.
The loans with the low initial payments were designed for young people who thought they would advance in their careers and defer the larger payments until later.
The PEOPLE gamed the thing.
They bought houses hoping to flip them for a higher price, bought houses that they knew they would never pay for but could live in for a while until the payment went up.
Or, maybe they were just stupid and typical Democrat voters.
