.Giving mortgages to people who failed financial criteria and risk factors caused the recession.
Except that isn't what happened. It wasn't poor people buying houses that caused the 2008 crash, it was middle class people who thought they could buy a McMansion, hold on to it for a few years, and then watch it's value go up and sell out.
The “flip” side are those that felt entitled to a McMansion in the name of equality (class envy) and failed to keep up with payments. Don’t bite off more than you can chew. Same with college loans.
Except that much like the colleges who sell overpriced degrees, no one was interesting in building sensible bungalows in the Oughts or even now.
My youngest, she went to a big name school on a full athletic scholarship. When she got out she had actually saved several thousand and put it in the bank! She is so cheap. Not only do athletes get everything paid for but they are given a small amount of cash for expenses too. She banked it. The perks she got were ridiculous.
My oldest daughter got her MBA from one of the countries best business schools. She just bought a million dollar home on her own so the debt incurred was well worth it.
only the first time you sign in and use a new device
dude, you just don't want to change. You have all kinds of reasons to not change that are just not valid.
Like I said, I have had my card numbers stolen a couple times and it took less than two minutes for me to get it squared away with the bank calling me and asking me to verify what were my charges and what were bogus.
Bam, over. No questions no charges, no problem.
Like I said, when we lived in a cash sociaty I was all in. Now, that just makes you old before your time.
I would never live in a red state, that is true. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER.
You are a nice guy, just stuck in the past. We are probably the same age but you are definitely old enough to be my father.

I never said I was old enough to be your father. I'm 60 years old right now.
Why would you be for bailing out kids that did it the wrong way.
Cursive? What is this, 1960? I haven't used cursive in 20 years.
I never said I was.
However, I do think the system is bad and should be changed. Kids should not enter the workplace with the investor class not only profiting off their toil but collecting interest on the loans they had to take to train themselves for the profits for the non working investor class. It's an immoral system.
My signature (seldom used) is the only "cursive" I use. Also note: many, even most, signatures are not legible.Cursive? What is this, 1960? I haven't used cursive in 20 years.
How do you sign your name? With an X?
I am still not seeing the significance here. Most documents such as an police report require you to print. I have never seen one conducive to cursive.
I've filled out a few in my life, and I've always used handwriting. Never had a problem submitting them.
Bill Clinton wanted to address the poor and blacks not being able to get home loans due to bad credit, not large enough down payment, or both. So they lowered the federal guidelines that banks use to issue loans. You can't have one set of standards for blacks and poor, and another standard for everybody else, so they lowered the standards for everybody.
Blame who you like because there is a lot of blame to go around, but the truth of the matter is this all started because the blacks and the poor were complaining to their politicians they couldn't get loans.

What did happen was that people - poor, middle class, rich, white, black, Latino, Asian, Indian, citizen, non-citizen- all had the opportunity to get into homes they could not afford because Democrats felt compelled to relax financial risk factors in the name of racial and economic equality..... even mandated banks to do so.

Okay, let's look at that.
Why do homes cost what they cost? Because of the labor and materials put into them? or because their value is artificially set by the real estate market?
I inherited a property in Northern Wisconsin from my parents my father initially paid $800.00 for the land and built the structure on it himself. Today that property is worth Probably $600,000 dollars. It was probably worth more before the Crash.
The problem was the banks were told they couldn't discriminate due to someone's race or where they lived. That's all the CRA did. The banks didn't go bust because poor black folks were buying sensible bungalows in the city. The banks went bust because White People were buying McMansions in the Exurbs until they had more McMansions than they had people willing to buy them.
There was a whole row of Half Built McMansions near where I live, all work stopped on them in 2008 and no one took them up again until 2012.

The relaxation of financial rules were as bipartisan as things get.

Okay, then what do you suggest that we can do in a free country protected by a Constitution?

In order for financial institutions to be able to comply with the Community Reinvestment Act, regulators at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had to back subprime loans that were more risky because credit worthiness criteria was relaxed. This was pushed primarily by Democrats like Barney Frank and Jamie Gorelick. Who weee the Republicans pushing this alongside them? Because the Community Reinvestment Act reduced credit worthiness criteria and included potential punishment from regulators for non-compliance, it opened the door across the board for all taxes and all economic classes to take advantage regardless of their credit worthiness.
ROTFLMAO! What a bone head post.
You are an idiot.
I'm an idiot because you can't answer my question
Except the CRA loans weren't the root of the problem, it was middle class people buying McMansions that caused the losses, and the banks were happy to go along with it, because they could repossess the home after collecting interest payments, and then flip the house for even more money. The idea that the banks were "made" to do this is just silly on it's face. No one made them give a loan to a middle class person who couldn't afford the monthly payments. No one made them take these loans, exaggerate their value and sell them as investments.
Tell us again how you aren't racist, Ray, that shit never gets old.
you are an idiot for many reasons, don't sell yourself short
(btw, your question made no sense, what does one have to do with the other... to a reasoned mind?)
to an idiot, maybe an association can be drawn.
