example points, EnergyMan, but I think some holes

once a bank originates a loan, they quickly package it, despite its likely shortcomings, and sells it to FannyMae
they continue to service the loan for the fee
but the fee is absolutely miniscule
I hear of 0.2 to 0.3% fees

FNM buys the bank's loan, thus retiring the bank's role as creditor, and replacing that role with the FannyMae mindless supervisor
Fanny buys the loan mortgage contract
we dont have twice the debt

Fanny didnt lend the banks money!!!
Fanny bought the loans
Structured Finance allows recycling of debt, not accumulation of debt, or compounding of debt

the process allows pennies to be earned by servicers
I stand by my statement
your 2X and Y+Y2 are misleading
it is more like still X and Y with an EPSILON introduced for loan servicing
(epsilon is used by math types to represent tiny numbers)

as for the income example, fine
some colossal losses might enable the debt to income to be astronomical for those unfortunate people who lost tons and earned ordinary income
in year 2000, my ratio was minus 15
