New Bubble May Be Building in 30-Year Mortgages: Edward Pinto: "Dec. 23 (Bloomberg) -- The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, the most common way U.S. buyers finance a home purchase, isn't the ideal instrument its supporters claim it to be.

First, its dominance requires permanent government subsidies. Second, it amortizes slowly, exposing homebuyers to years of unnecessary default risk. Third, it was responsible for two taxpayer bailouts in the last 20 years.

Most important, these mortgages may be behind a new bubble."

Bubble fears are also justified because of the GOP attack on regulation, the failure to revive Glass-Steagall and the propensity of traders to put us all at risk.
