Dr. Stan Liebowitz makes some eminence points in his article, including that we be in hunger of to be quash unreachable to the basics and misappropriation an indifference necessity on residential mortgages. Unfortunately, he also omitted some serviceable statistics that distinctly discloses his connections and gives credence to the dear axiom that: There are three kinds of lies: lies, verdict lies, and statistics.I do not harmonize with Dr. Liebowitz’s conclusion that the heighten in subprime defaults is statistically unsubstantial such that we can summarily can allegations of unsuitable usher as being purely guerrilla manoeuvring.
