Where are the jobs, Mr. President?

Why did the economy crash in 2007?

Because a bunch of retards bought shit they couldn't afford.

And why were they able to buy shit they couldn't afford? Because the Dumbocrats forced banks to make home loans to people who previously didn't qualify (because Dumbocrats think socialism is so great).

All they do is collapse everything they touch and they still haven't figured out what a failed concept socialism is.
Bush's ADDI, American Dream Downpayment Initiative. Bush's Dec 2003 American Dream Downpayment Initiative (ADDI) is what changed the rules to allow no downpayment loans to people with bad credit for more than the house was worth and who were at least 20% below the standard of living for the neighborhood they were buying into.

Bush was no Democrat! Bush owns the housing crash!

Just because something is available doesn't mean you have to have it. It's called living within your means which our government deplores

Community Reinvestment Act
From your link:

The law, however, emphasizes that an institution's CRA activities should be undertaken in a safe and sound manner, and does not require institutions to make high-risk loans that may bring losses to the institution.[3][4] An institution's CRA compliance record is taken into account by the banking regulatory agencies when the institution seeks to expand through merger, acquisition or branching. The law does not mandate any other penalties for non-compliance with the CRA.[6][9]
I know what it states...however? WHAT was done with it under CLINTON?:eusa_hand:

Really? 200 million is a lot of money but it collapsed the housing market? Can you explain that?
Typical "Fuzzy Math." Try $800 million.

American Dream Downpayment Initiative
Summary

The American Dream Downpayment Initiative (ADDI) was signed into law on December 16, 2003. The American Dream Downpayment Assistance Act authorizes up to $200 million annually for fiscal years 2004 - 2007.
 
Bill Clinton is certainly full of himself these days. That might have something to do with the fact that no one is likely to ask why he hasn’t owned up to his share of the blame for the housing and financial bust.

The former president is treated like an elder statesman whose tenure in office was so good that even some Republicans look back fondly on it. On the surface his economic record looks good, but it would be rash to credit Clinton. During his time in office the information revolution took off, boosting productivity and economic growth. And when his Democratic Party lost control of Congress in 1992, Clinton had to accept spending restraints, which meant less government obstruction to economic growth.

Clinton, however, sowed the seeds of the Great Recession by helping to inflate the housing bubble, a key part of the financial debacle of 2007. But this wasn’t because he (not George W. Bush) signed two financial deregulation bills. Although Clinton legalized interstate banking in 1994 and commercial/investment banking combinations in 1999, that had nothing to do with the meltdown.

Then why is Clinton culpable? Because his secretary of housing and urban development, Andrew Cuomo, current governor of New York and a likely 2016 presidential aspirant, accelerated easy-housing policies and inflated the housing bubble, setting the stage for its collapse.

The meltdown was the consequence of a combination of the easy money and low interest rates engineered by the Federal Reserve and the easy housing engineered by a variety of government agencies and policies. Those agencies include the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and two nominally private “government-sponsored enterprises” (GSEs), Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The agencies — along with laws such as the Community Reinvestment Act (passed in the 1970s, then fortified in the Clinton years), which required banks to make loans to people with poor and nonexistent credit histories — made widespread homeownership a national goal. This all led to a home-buying frenzy and an explosion of subprime and other non-prime mortgages, which banks and GSEs bundled into dubious securities and peddled to investors worldwide. Hovering in the background was the knowledge that the federal government would bail out troubled “too-big-to-fail” financial corporations, including Fannie and Freddie.

Obama's a Marxist Maoist Stalinist Sharia Muslim Kenyan Jew or whatever you people believe, so why is he helping his rich friends instead of taking all their money and redistributing it to illegal Mexicans?

He has (you've really not been paying attention for the past 5 years, have you?) :lol:

What do you think Obamacare is? Taking money from those that do and handing it over to those who refuse to do.

What do you think the largest expansion of food stamps in U.S. history is? Taking money from those that do and handing it over to those who refuse to do.

What do you think unconstitutionally altering the work requirements of welfare was? Taking money from those that do and handing it over to those who refuse to do.

Join us in reality, won't you?
Sadly the Federal Government has made it too damned easy to become a MOOCHER...and harder to get out of it...by design.

The real moochers are the rich that make fortunes off the backs of the laborers. The cons keep demonizing the poor and laborers, to draw attention away from the demon behind the curtain, the rich puke. And like Marie Antoinette, the rich will eventually get their just deserts. It's so funny that the rich are now trying to fool everyone into believing She didn't say "Let them eat cake", as if she was wrongly beheaded.

I see , it is politically correct to persecute the rich but not homosexuals.

The ones that you should be going after are those rich folks who became that way thanks to corporatism , fascism and government dispensations.

IF they are given a WAGE that they agreed to when taking a job offered...HOW does that make the employer a 'moocher'? Care to explain that twisted bit of non-logic? Hmm?
 
Dream on with your small-minded opinion.
Nowhere , not even your high lighting does it change my original comment in any manner what so ever.
You seem to be the one bitch slapped but you cannot understand your ignorance.
If you were intelligent enough to know that the boehner crowd and boehner himself stated many many times back during the two(2) previous elections.
It was all about jobs. The platform they ran on and they have in no way proposed any jobs bills. It is all cutting and cutting from the budget.
So dream little bitch!




Your inability to post something coherent to make back your assertion is extremely laughable.
The comment made was...........no one president has the ability to create jobs by the stroke of executive power or privilege.
Then you make this lame statement which really does back the comment made by me.
Its so laughable.

Well I can already tell that it will never become clear to you that presidents control policy and have a monumental impact on the economy.

Part of the reason I can tell this is your poor grammar and use of punctuation (indicating extraordinary lack of intellect and proper education). Another part of the reason I can tell is you blind partisan faith in ignorant Dumbocrat socialism.

So please allow me to set you straight here chief. First of all, the federal government should not have their hands in the free market. Therefore, "cutting" federal government should have nearly (key word) no effect on prosperity.

Quite the contrary, the more we cut federal government the less taxes they require. The less taxes they require, the more money stays where it belongs - in the hands of the people. The more the people have the money, the more prosperity.

You're entire ignorant diatribe was nothing but "lets do exactly what Cuba has done". Well junior, those same Dumbocrat policies have kept Cuba in poverty for about 60 years. How about you actually learn for once in your life? How about we don't mimic the policies of a 3rd world shit-hole where everyone wallows in poverty? :eusa_doh:

I've highlighted your most recent comment in red. It does not match your previous comment in pink as you just falsely claimed.

Your previous diatribe was all about blaming Boehner and claiming (falsely and ignorantly) "one cannot cut their way to prosperity". There is not one comment about "one strokes" and/or "executive privilege" in your previous post.

But since I've bitch-slapped you with facts you can't dispute, you're now being a typical libtard and trying to backpedal.

The poor ole CRA, blamed again for something it didn't do.

You know there were CRA requirements for banks in place for many years and the housing market functioned just fine. How could that be you might ask?

SO what was it that changed in the world of mortgage lending, a thinking person might ask (rules you Republicans out). But if you did ask yourself what changes occurred a few years before the bubble burst, you would find that the legislation put forth by Republicans and signed into law by Clinton, opened the flood gates on funny mortgage money. There was more money being made available with the strangest terms and conditions, and most of these loans would have never even have been conceived had mortgage lending been left in the hands of true bankers.

That legislation is known as the Graham, Leach, Bliley Act. Bill Clinton should have vetoed it. Would have kept the entire housing collapse from happening simply because real bankers would have never ever made those loans. This act opened the doors to mortgage lending by brokers, insurance companies, investment houses, just about anyone could make mortgages loans after this act was passed.

And it hadn't been that way before.

Proof of this is the number of mid size, regional banks that were never in difficulty, didn't have to be bailed out, because they never engaged in bullshit, junk loan lending practices. But they still had to follow CRA requirements.

Brokers, investment houses and insurance companies never, ever had to follow CRA requirements.
And they are the ones that introduced the true junk loans to the marketplace. And the failure of the junk loan started the entire collapse.

Blame Bill Clinton. I did when he signed the law and I still do blame him. The Repubs introducing the legislation were just being Republicans. They (Repubs) had been trying to get legislation introduced like Graham Leach for a long long time. Bill made it happen for them. Cause he felt bad about his blow job and thought the rethugs would cut him some slack if he played Santa Claus.
 
Yeah, dingleberry. It was all the Dumbocraps' fault. Banker crimes weren't responsible for those shitty loans at all. Keep believing that. That's why you're a Teabagger.

Banks made billions off of those shitty loans, then the banks tanked the economy when their lies came crashing down around them, then the People lost their homes, then the banks got their bailouts, and now the banks have even more billions of dollars while families are still unemployed and homeless.

You fucking Republicans can't look at Wall Street to know where the greatest problems in America come from? No one is talking about implementing Socialism. We want Justice, not Socialism. "Free-market capitalism" is not what Wall Street has been engaged in. "Free-for-the-1%-market capitalism" is more like it. How can any private business ruin itself through terrible practices and then expect the taxpayers' to come to their rescue?

Think of the absurdity of that statement. Someone begs a bank for a loan, promises to pay it back, and when the bank relents and gives them the loan, the Dumbocrats accuse them of being "criminals".

Of course, if the bank denied the loan then the Dumbocrats would accuse the banks of being "evil" 1%ers who are "keeping the man down" by denying them the loans they need to pursue the American dream :eusa_doh:

Either way, the Dems create failure with their socialism and then blame everyone else. I can't wait to see how my buddy KNB tries to explain this one away :)

Oh really? Do the names Barney Frank and Chris Dodd mean nothing to you? I suggest that you do your research.

Quell your hatred for Bush long enough to actually LEARN the truth. Does Bush shoulder some of the blame? You bet! He was the president. But you need to learn exactly what happened that brought all this about at FANNIE and FREDDIE.

LMAO. Leave it to a fucking dog to know about begging. Is that how you got what you have rotty? Begging?

And rotty. Banks were not begging borrowers to apply for mortgages. That's why they have salesmen and women. Also known as mortgage loan officers. To solicit business in the grand ole free market of mortgage lending. Greed is/was a powerful motivator.

And fortunately most banks continued to follow sound lending practices and never got into trouble. And did you know that banks that didn't get in lending trouble still had to follow CRA requirements?

Nope. Barney Frank and Chris Dodd DESTROYED FANNIE and FREDIE and by rights, should be in prison. Are they? No. Minority party my ass.

I love it! Two members of the minority Party are more powerful than president Bush and the Party that controls both houses of Congress and the WH. :cuckoo:

For once, you are right. Banks were not begging anyone to apply for mortgages. That was my point (and one you apparently missed thanks to your reading comprehension) :lol:

So once again, when banks make a loan to people begging for money, Dumbocrats blame them for giving the loan. If banks refuse the loan, then Dumbocrats accuse them of being the "evil" 1%ers who are trying to "keep a man down". Either way you people cry like little girls and try to blame someone else because liberals refuse to take personal responsibility. It's always someone else's fault in their mind.
