The linkage between the housing agencies and ACORN is both incestuous and smelly. The housing agencies (under the CRA)are, by all measures, a well choreographed RICO organization in bed with ACORN and the Democrat party.

Investigative interrogatories with Raines, Johnson, Dodd, Obama, Gorelick, Clinton, Frank, and others would produce many "process crimes" that would make Scooter Libby's crimes look like a jaywalking infraction.

The DC Federal holding pen would not be able to contain all the bureaucrats and elected officials that SHOULD be there.

Marxists know no other way. They're perfectly happy with CRA as it's one of the greatest accomplishments of wealth redistributionism in all time. And the resulting plunge into full blown socialism has them absolutely orgasmic:

Since Barney broke up with Herb Moses (the former Fannie Mae Executive) it looks like his best friend is “Rose Palm”.

I have not seen the dollar amount percentage of the CRA loans that went bad. If we had this number it would then be possible to determine how much of this damned mess is the fault of CRA and the Demonic-rats. Since I have not seen this percentage in the liberal press I assume it is huge.

Does anyone on this forum know the numbers. It would be interesting.

Relative to the bailout I can see a justification for bailing out the bad loans that the government forced them to make. I can not approve one damn cent for the other loans that went bad.

What are the numbers??

I don’t know. Looks like Dodd is preparing for a Frank sandwich.

That blustering Baboon Barney Frank would, I’m quite sure, arrogantly disagree. Not I.

Nice try skippy.

Without the Community Reinvestment Act, the Liberal Poverty Pimps would still be having bake sales to finance their cruise into Socialism...

Just insert ‘subprime’ whenever you see CRA and you have your answer. By definition they don’t/didn’t qualify for regular loans.

Check out pages 38-39 of the October 13, 2008 issue of Time and be prepared for elevated blood pressure.

It's not just loans that were made under the guise of the CRA's mission - it's the fact that the CRA forced banks to lower credit standards significantly. What was done to help those that had poor credit ratings was also done to help a new breed of house flippers as well. If they're going to give an unemployed or underemployed welfare recipient a loan, they really can't justify not giving an employed guy with 4 houses a similar offer.

So, left wing ideas (CRA, ACORN) were the seeds and a huge left wing idea (bail out the financial system and take it over) is the cure.

I think Marx would be proud of us.
