This is a problem with the whole world right now. Interest rates have been reduced almost everywhere with a view to accomplishing many things including stimulating business activity. But how is that possible if the Banks do not lend ?????
Why would Benny need a loan?
He has his own money printing press.......
Or, he can have his cronies send him a bailout check for 700 billion dollar.... problem solved, unless he's trying to refinance a 3 trillion dollar home.
Total BS story. I hope you people don't believe this.
Oh common!! Your one word used to move markets for billions of $$$ and now you say you can't refinance? Huh... Bullshit
This is a guy who speaks for an hour in public and gets 100k for doing it, then advises folks round the back for 250k.... each !

If he still has a mortgage he must be dumber than the world thinks he is (and thats pretty dumb)

Or, he's well smart and the stories fake .... you choose
