you say “Newt just said he only did it because he wanted to help poor people get into homes, guess that leaves no question as to his support of the community reinvestment act. Interesting”
Probably he was = but as he got looking into how they planned on ding it, He told them it wouldn’t work - that it was “insane”
““I offered them advice on precisely what they didn’t do,” he said. “My advice as a historian, when they walked in and said to me, ‘We are now making loans to people who have no credit history and have no record of paying back anything, but that’s what the government wants us to do.’ As I said to them at the time, this is a bubble. This is insane. This is impossible.”
