Yeah but combine the post by Amergin with the post by Zoux and you get; the 2008 recession was Hillary's fault. That's where this poo poo is going.

If it is liberal's fault then why did the conservative run government of the 2000s allow CRA backed lending to quadruple in value.

If it was so horrible and risky for banks, why did they not fight it in our free democracy?

The CRA also made the banks take those risky mortgages, blend them with good mortgages into securitized debt instruments and then bullshit/bribe bond rating agencies to tell people the blended securities were 100% as good as the best mortgages within them. The CRA also made insurers and reinsurers ignore the fundamentals and composition of those securities while issuing credit default swaps to the banks holding the securities. The CRA also made all those banks and insurers inflate the valuation of those swaps and securities.

It's poors all the way down, you see.

When the "news" site you're referencing is run by people too goddamn ignorant to already know Stephen Hawking is from the UK, as well as too goddamn lazy to fact-check where Stephen Hawking is from, before name-dropping Stephen Hawking as part of a rhetorical argument that was going to be profoundly dense regardless of either of those things, then that's pretty much the most polite response you deserve.

Please note that the paper is addressing the issue of "Did the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) Lead to Risky Lending?" whereas Amergin's post makes the false statement of "CRA was the major contributing factor to the 2008 recession". Not the same thing at all.

edit: also, both the study and the article he links too are dated December, 2012, and Amergin's post says "New study". which makes his post below even more deliciously malevolent.

Mortgage lenders didn't care if the homebuyers were actually able to pay back their loans, because they had no intention of holding onto the mortgages. They were bundled and sold as deceptively high grade investments with collusion from the rating agencies.

How's that?

Quote of the day, "Friends painted a picture in which having a baby as a single woman is easy, something that changes nothing. Of course, as any parent can tell you, having a baby changes everything. Where was that truth on Friends? What happened to the baby? Where were the hours and hours of Rachel's interaction with little Emma, the minute-by-minute loving care, the absolute dependence and the absolute responsibility? That's the reality, but it is not what we see on TV." ~ Rick Santorum
