Yeah, BECAUSE Gov't policy and who is in charge REALLY doesn't matter right Bubs?
Weird the periods where the US was closest to the rights "laissez faire" philosophy, 1920's, 1980's and 2000's was when we had HUGE banksters created crashes right? (GOP Prez's)
Just a coincidence though right?
CMO's were first created in 1987.
They kept growing right through Clinton's term. And Democrats pushed for eased standards and more "fairness" in the home buying process. We were told late in the game by Democrats that Fannie & Freddie were fine. And indeed, the Republicans failed us, too, largely by constantly pushing for fewer regulations.
I realize you're ideologically obligated to only "see" the other side's faults, but blame rests everywhere.
.
You mean GOOD GOV'T POLICY UNDER THE DEMS versus VERY bad under the GOP right Bubs?
You do understand Dems pushed home to help with "fairness" by law outlining DISCRIMINATION IS BAD? And under Dems laws, GOV'T ACTUALLY BACKED AND PAID FOR THE PROGRAMS (recognizing SOME would fail)? THAT was how Dems did it right Bubs?
TOLD LATE IN THE GAME F/F WERE OK? They were, as were the five investment banks, WAMU, etc right? HINT IT WAS DUBYA'S POLICY THAT HOSED F/F
DUBYA CHANGED IN 2004 THE RULE THAT CLINTON CREATED THAT STOPPED F/F FROM USING HIGH COST LOANS (COMMONLY CALLED SUBPRIMES) TO MEET THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING GOALS?
That Dubya in 2004 REQUIRED F/F to purchase $440 billion In MBS'S IN THE SECONDARY MARKET
Lastly Dubya changed F/F "affordable housing" goals from 50% to 56% in guess when? 2004!
Q When did the Bush Mortgage Bubble start?
A The general timeframe is it started late 2004.
From BushÂ’s PresidentÂ’s Working Group on Financial Markets October 2008
“The Presidents Working Group’s March policy statement acknowledged that turmoil in financial markets clearly
was triggered by a dramatic weakening of underwriting standards for U.S. subprime mortgages, beginning in late 2004 and extending into 2007.”
Q Did the Community Reinvestment Act under Carter/Clinton caused it?
A "Since 1995 there has been essentially no change in the basic CRA rules or enforcement process that can be reasonably linked to the subprime lending activity. This fact weakens the link between the CRA and the current crisis since the crisis is
rooted in poor performance of mortgage loans made between 2004 and 2007. "
FACTS on Dubya's great recession | US Message Board - Political Discussion Forum
Lets see, Dubya hoses the GSE's with unrealistic goals and mandates (that Dems warned about in my thread), he cheered on the Banksters, FOUGHT ALL FIFTY STATES (2003) WHO WANTED TO REGULATE THE PREDATORY BANKSTERS, HE GUTTED THE FBI WHITE COLLAR CRIME DIVISION BY 2/3RDS AFTER BEING WARNED OF AN "EPIDEMIC OF MORTGAGE FRAUD THAT COULD RIVAL THE S&L CRISIS"
YEAH, I CAN SEE HOW YOU CAN CLAIM BOTH SIDES ARE AT FAULT BUBBA, lol
