Burning Down the House

OMG--couldn't get sound clear enough on my set to listen thru, but if this's another replay of the urban legend that the CRA (Community Reinvestment Act, not Community Redevelopment Act) caused the mtg debacle, please Google the CRA and review for yourself.
This belongs with Lee Harvey Oswald shot JFK and Condi's claim no one ever thought of using airplanes as missiles.
Greed caused this mess, not Repub greed or Dem greed, not red or blue, not conservative or abundant, just plain old GREED, and greedy people come in all sizes, shapes and colors.
 
Starting to hear this more in the news media too.
This has to be a very small percentage of the market. First you would have people that don't work, then you would have people that won't follow through on the application process, then if they have free housing, food stamps, medical, why would they jeopardize this with home ownership?
 

Aside from the obvious political slant, I found this video very educational. I never realized subprime loans were mandated by our gov't, or that institutions were being sued for not making enough of them. I think this is what abundant politics gives you.

The chart showing the decoupling of home prices and CPI when CRA was enacted / reinacted seems to be a smoking gun in my mind.
 
Yup,good old Janet Reno,threatening to sue if a bank didn't give a mortgage to someone who wasn't qualified.
 
There has gotta be two drummers on that song.Too much drumming for just one guy. "everything stuck together"
