Keep in mind, what I'm about to post is not for your benefit as you're too fucking insane to comprehend reality...
Democrats took charge of Congress in January, 2007. Bush's Great Recession began 11 months later, in December, 2011. The "meltdown" began in 2006 as states began recording record numbers of foreclosures; by early 2007 A few months after Democrats take control of Congress), some mortgage lenders were already filing for bankruptcy; by early 2008 (13 months after Democrats took control of the Congress), Bear Stearns failed. By summer, 2008 (18 months after Democrats took control of the Congress), IndyMac failed; two months later, the housing markets collapse and the credit markets lock up.
Imbeciles, who can't even blame a single bill from the 110th Congress, blame Democrats.
Actually It started in the Clinton administration....Andrew Cuomo and the gang put in requirements that banks lend to credit risk low income people (read minorities) or be branded racists.
he even states he knows there will be problems, but multiculturalism is MORE IMPORTANT!
Actually, it didn't.
Did the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) contribute to foreclosures and the financial crisis? And, is the CRA being reformed?
The Federal Reserve Board has found no connection between CRA and the subprime mortgage problems. In fact, the Board's analysis (102 KB PDF) found that nearly 60 percent of higher-priced loans went to middle- or higher-income borrowers or neighborhoods, which are not the focus of CRA activity. Additionally, about 20 percent of the higher-priced loans that were extended in low- or moderate-income areas, or to low- or moderate-income borrowers, were loans originated by lenders not covered by the CRA. Our analysis found that only six percent of all higher-priced loans were made by CRA-covered lenders to borrowers and neighborhoods targeted by the CRA. Further, our review of loan performance found that rates of serious mortgage delinquency are high in all neighborhood groups, not just in lower-income areas.
Here's How The Community Reinvestment Act Led To The Housing Bubble's Lax Lending
Throughout the nineties banks, as banks lowered their mortgage standards, mortgage rates remained high
Of course it wasn’t the CRA that caused everything. The CRA was a factor in lowering lending standards. This was a necessary, although not sufficient, cause for the mortgage mess.
Pretty simple, don't force banks to loan to people who can't pay....then if they do shit, let em go down. It's that easy.
Sadly, your reading comprehension problems interfere with your ability to absorb. Read the report I posted again ... does it state "cause" or "contribute?"
We don't have time to read your crazy liberal manifestos.
As if you were capable of discerning the difference between "cause" and "contribute" anyway.
