New Study Finds Democrats Fully to Blame for Subprime Mortgage Crisis

Anyone with a modicum of understanding of the real estate boom and bust knows that the sub prime mortgages were a scheme entirely exploited and abused by mortgage-hungry lenders,

whose motive was to generate as many mortgages as possible and then sell them off for a profit.

yeah, sure... as you say, sub prime mortgages were a scheme entirely exploited and abused by mortgage-hungry lenders, whose motive was to generate as many mortgages as possible and then sell them off for a profit...

In his early activist days, Barack Obama the community organizer sued banks to ease lending practices.

State Sen. Barack Obama and Fr. Michael Pfleger led a protest against the payday loan industry demanding the State of Illinois to regulate loan businesses in January 2000. During his time as a community organizer Barack Obama led several protests against banks to make loans to high risk individuals. (NBC 5 Week of January 3, 2000)

Here’s something that won’t get any play in the liberal media…
A new study by the respected National Bureau of Economic Research found that Democrats are to blame for the subprime mortgage crisis.
Investor’s Business Daily reported:

:omg:

It was the black people who couldn't pay back their loans in .... Phoenix? Nevada?

A new "study" finds that the hemorrhoid on your ass houses your brain.
 
giving criminals an idea to commit a crime by doing something good is not the fault of the people doing the good
So you consider forcing banks to loan money to people who can't pay it back a good thing.


There you go, folks, the progressive mentality in a nutshell:

"It doesn't matter what the consequences are...they MEANT well!!"
 
If you want to know where the incentives were, follow the money.

Mortgage backed securities, derivatives and swaps created the largest Wall Street gold rush in recorded history. Bear, Lehman, Goldman, AIG and lesser firms made trillions.

The global pool of money (made larger by lower taxes on the investment class) poured into Washington for the AMAZING returns on these magical products.

When they ran out of creditworthy borrowers, they turned to non creditworthy borrowers. Each mortgage represented pure gold to Wall Street.

We allowed the originating bank to sell the mortgage to Wall Street with ZERO risk in its performance. This gave them no incentive to lend responsibly.

We need to give a shout out to the Reagan Revolution here. Reagan said that business should regulate itself. So business captured the rating agencies, who gave triple A ratings to garbage.

It's one thing to put a low income family in a house, like we've been doing successfully since Carter's CRT in 1977. It's quite another thing for capitalists to place over 50 trillion dollars of bets on those mortgages.
 
Until you deal with the study showing fox news viewers to be less intelligent and leaning toward bigoted beliefs, you are not allowed to read or post studies here.

Thank you.
 
But if you want to know the real cause, just listen to George Bush. The housing meltdown happened on his watch.

I know we're not allowed to blame Bush for anything that happened when he was in office. It's always someone else's fault. Good old Republican accountability.

Here is the Bush plan for putting poor people in homes. He worked hand-in-glove with Fannie/Freddie and the banks to put as many poor people in homes as possible. It was a criminal attempt to fuel a dead economy by using a housing bubble.

Please, enlighten us.... show us the 'force' launguage in the legislation.

And banks were happy to loan the money and then bundle the bad loans and sell them to others.

Hmmmm....


And all the while, the mortgage broker gets his fee. And bank officer gets his bonus.


Stop posting, idiot.

You just come off as a total jackass.
 
No one is doubting the effectiveness of the left wing propaganda. I would guess that the majority of Obama voters have absolutely no idea what happened with the subprime leanding. I have talked to many liberals and am disappointed with their ability to either ignore the facts or keep themselves completely ignorant of the facts. I believe that they keep themselves ignorant because that is more self-serving.

So be it with the economy. The economy started it crash after the democrats took both houses. They could have done, and did, almost anything they wanted. They had a full year of filbuster proof majority with control of all three branches, yet here we are and the left blames anyone other then their own self.

5 trillion dollars of debt put on our grandchildren and most Obama supporters would either say, who cares or it is a lie. 6 trillion now and counting and what did we get? An 8 percent unemployment rate and a stock market that is pretty much flat lined. Pretty damn expensive medocricy.

The housing bubble was all democrats. They were warned but they put ideology ahead of practicality. Sure their intent sounded good, to put people into houses but the practicality of putting a person in a house they could never afford in the first place apparently never struck home.

Now, listen to his own words Barney saying that there were no problems:

Democrats were WARNED of Financial crisis and did NOTHING - YouTube

Democrats were WARNED of Financial crisis and did NOTHING

The brainwashed RW idiot lie...

A)The Dems had a filibusterproof majority for less than 6 months ending 2/4/2010, never had any real power before the Pub meltdown (10-11/2008) since Bush vetoed everything...

B) F+F went from 75% to 25% of market in 2003 as Bush cronies took over and screwed the world...

C) Everybody was saying the same as Barney. Keeping up a front, as he said.

Or you could stop being a little bitch and acknowledge that people have the right to express their views, even if those views conflict with the progressive groupthink you bitterly cling to.

Just sayin'.

So a right wing propaganda site cherry picked details from an economic report and then made several loose connections to how Obama tied in to those cherry picked details and then this right wing propaganda site begged me for money? ...Okay, this is totally news.

Imagine that, a website begging for money to fight the left wing is accusing the Democrats of political evil...

LOL. The truth is well known to most American Voters. That is why our President was re-elected. We know who created the economic debacle of 2008. And it was not the Dems.

But by going back and trying to re-write history, the GOP is once again demonstrating the basic dishonesty that their now extremist positions have forced them into. And the voters in our nation recognized that extremism for what it is.

Yours, not ours.

The Democrats weren't in power in the 2000's until 2009. By then the real estate bubble had burst.

Believe what you want. In Conservatopia, it's always the left's fault. We get that.

But most people live in normal America, where facts, not wishes, determine the truth.

but the ball for this debacle was started rolling long before GWB arrived on the scene...

The spike in sub-prime mortgages occurred between 2004 and 2006.
 
People not paying their mortgage is the only reason mortgages are foreclosed on.
Who forced anyone to get a mortgage and then not make the payments?
Excuses.
