Study finds Community Reinvestment Act did, in fact, lead to the financial crisis. Most IHTM readers already know this, but it’s good to review the facts because liberals love to buy votes by handing out mortgages with our money… and Obama is pushing the same policies now that brought us to ruination before.

  • Programs like the CRA are never given real light of day in a way that the voting public can understand and respond to, and there's always been sufficient numbers in terms of RINO's in congress to get CRA's on the books, and without any media dissecting or deconstruction (because it's socialism so why criticize). Begs the question though, did Reagan make any noise about this, or was his administration too distracted by the cold war? His tenure in office was the best chance we've ever had to reverse this and the timing would have been perfect because it would have been early and easier to undo. That's why it is sooooo important to repeal Obamacare now.

    • Guess Janice may be been right about the Mercedes and Porches. Just ask for them and all of sudden they fall from heaven.

  • The effects of Jimmy Carter's legacy, increased exponentially by Bill Clinton, and then doubled down on by Obama.
    I'm surprised we aren't all living in McMansions, driving Rolls Royces, and facing foreclosure and bankruptcy.
    The idea that everyone deserves a house, regardless of ability to pay for it, is nothing more than a vote getting scheme, aimed toward the people that feel they deserve to have what we all worked for, but they haven't.

  • This is about 5.5 years to late. Freddie and Fannie need to go. Where is it written that everyone should live in a 5 bedroom, 4 bath, 3 car garage? If you can't pay for it why in the hell would you buy it?

    I want a house in the Hamptons, one in FL and a condo in Hawaii, yet all I can afford is my current home so I don't have them. It's very unlikely they would let me live in the Hamptons. I like beer and not wine.
