The Community Re-investment Act started under Jimmy Carter.

During the Clinton administration, then attorney general Janet Reno falsely accused the banks of red-lining and threatened them with all kind of unpleasant consequences unless they gave home loans to people who couldn’t afford to pay them back, including illegal aliens.

And we wonder why it all went bad.

Chris Cuomo had a lot to do with it as HUD boss.

And don't forget the CBC's defense of whathisname of the then-CEO of FannieMae, as well as GSE's in general.

The Community Reinvestment Act was passed in 1977; it was preceded by the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975. Together, they provided the data that the Government needed to allowed it to play a direct part in the mortgage market. Both were Democrat bills.
