Will obama get the blame for this

Yes those foreclosures are to blame. but it's crazy for the banks to loan money to people they knew could not pay it back. I wonder why they would do this?

Glass-Steagall, officially known as the Banking Act of 1933, mandated the separation of banks according to the types of business they conducted. Investment banks, whose securities related activities resulted in relatively large risks, were to be separate from commercial banks, whose depositors needed greater protection. The Act created deposit insurance and the government wasn't about to allow taxpayer-backed insurance of commercial bank deposits to be exposed to securities related risks. It was a prudent and sensible separation. Bankers tried for years to undermine and overturn Glass-Steagall, but it took time.

The explosion in subprime loans after 2000 were made by unregulated mortgage companies, and the vast majority of them were issued to higher income borrowers, not low- to moderate-income borrowers. - The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (GLBA) dismantled Depression-era law that had prohibited bank holding companies from owning other financial companies such as investment, commercial banking, and insurance companies. GLBA ignited a wave of mergers and hampered government regulators charged with preventing conflicts of interest and risky financial behavior.

Private lenders—not the government-backed Fannie and Freddie—issued the vast majority of subprime loans, and to low- and moderate-income borrowers in particular. Fannie and Freddie did not guarantee and securitize large quantities of subprime loans.

Clinton threats of fining banks for not making loans to minorities, would that have had an effect on loans procedures?

The CRA tried to stop banks from not lending to qualified minorities. It was never intended to force banks to make loans to unqualified people. It was not a significant factor in the housing meltdown as very few of the toxic loan originated from the CRA lender.

I don' think there is a definitive answer of yes or no. I mean do I think some people intimidated some banks into home loans for unqualified people? Sure, but was it the norm for these CRA loan. No I don't and the records don't indicate that the majority of CRA loans were toxic. Got any examples of the Clinton administrtion intimidating banks?

Some but not for the most part. It was not banks who were regulated by the CRA that made most of the toxic loans, it was private lenders.

Here's an interesting read. I think why the CRA is protected is because most of those loans were transferred to Freddie Mac. You wouldn't know it because Freddie bit the bullet.

Bear Stearns, the CRA, and Freddie Mac
 
Oh, fer chissake, the CRA ended Redlining, fine for years- then W and the deregugulatin' fools came alomg and cut regs and enforcement for their pals on Wall St so ANYONE could get a mortgage, with tease rates and obfuscation and scams all the way. Finally Fanny+Freddie got into the act too. Cue boom and bust bubble typical of Pub regimes, and a total meltdown. Anything else is pure Pure Pubcrappe for the Dupes. Fox/Rush/Pubs are totally FOS, and the dupes are brainwashed fools and tools...

NEXT!
