"I'm about a third of the way through the book. The points you make may be technically accurate but that's not what I focused on. For me, the book is increasing my cynicism.

"In the past couple of years most of us have listened to, or expressed our views, on the need for the mortgage industry to make changes. Why has so much collective interest in making something happen failed to produce any meaningful results? I am inclined to think that in many ways we are making things harder than they need to be when it comes to effecting change and fixing the systemic problems in the mortgage industry. Imagine a car manufacturer who determines that the public is asking for certain..."    View Post
