The Reagan Reverie (“Revolution?”) continues: Republican (fascist/socialist) President Reagan—ostensibly an advocate of State sovereignty—signs the Alternative Mortgage Transaction Parity Act, which preempts state statutes that restrict lenders from writing adjustable-rate (the interest charge varies with market interest rates), balloon payments (requiring a large principal payment at the end of the loan), and negative amortization loans (loans in which the balance of the loan increases as payments are made).
