No economist worth their salt would claim CRA was the cause of this.
How could it be the cause when the amount of subprime loans in the CRA would have never been enough to crash the economy.
And the economist that you trust sure have ficed the economy.
It was not CRA alone. It was foreclosures and CRA was a bif part of that. In addition to other poor lending practices. All of these banks should have failed. The loans should have been repackaged and sold at auction. Other banks would have thrived with some of the excellent deals they would have gotten on thoughs loans.
I am against all bail-outs Bush's and Obama's, so I don't have a dog in this fight. I am no Bush fan. Bush started the bail-outs and stimulus checks. I am against all of that. Obama just did it on steroids.
