Post a comment| echtogammut on April 10, 2009 1:14 AM | Shocking, a bank can make loans with money that costs them
essentially nothing and gets to write off debt without
having to book the expense and they make money? Who would
have thought? I know Wells Fargo was the only major bank to
be declared solvent after this latest fiasco, so why was
anyone shocked that they would be making money with free
money? I recently applied for a business loan with these
guys and while I was chatting with the loan officer about
the state of the economy, he said that part of the reason
that they were not lending money was due to businesses
recently having bad business credit! I looked at him for a
long time and said "recently"? If you guys are making loans
based on the credit of a company in the last couple of
months no one will qualify. I have been having big customers
drag out their payments long past due dates and I know must
companies are not as forgiving at filing collections notices
as I am. I understand that the underwriting on the loan is
important for the health of the bank, however banks are
ultimately responsible for this fiasco and want them to have
to open up their books and have a public audit. I think
people are generally smart enough, or at least the media can
control them enough that they won't rip their money of banks
when they find out how deep the hole is.
