Every good business incentivizes their salesmen to sell the highest margin product. Why would you expect the mortgage business to be any different? This is nothing new. The world has been taking advantage of people who are bad at math since math was invented (All casinos, The Medici's, Rothchild's, E. Thorp, etc). With all due respect to Mr. Hodges – caveat emptor.

With all due respect to Mr. Merchant, he is wrong. Loan officers SOLD this crappy product to borrowers. Lenders, like Countrywide and Wachovia (which do not exist any longer) incentivized their loan officers to sell them and placed quotas for sales. No one in my company ever sold one of these products.
