Bush pronounced “…That’s since I’ve challenged the attention leaders all opposite the nation to get after it for this goal, to stay focused, to have certain which we grasp the some-more secure America, by achieving the idea of 5.5 million brand new minority home owners. I call it America’s home tenure challenge.
And let me verbalise about the little of the swell which we have done to date, as an e.g. for others to follow. First of all, supervision sponsored corporations which assistance emanate the debt complement — I introduced dual of the leaders here currently — they call those people Fannie May as good as Freddie Mac, as good as the sovereign home loan banks, will enlarge their joining to minority markets by some-more than $440 billion. (Applause.) I wish to appreciate Leland as good as Franklin for which commitment. It’s the joining which conforms to their charters, as well, as good as additionally conforms to their hearts.”
(Please note which brush appoints Leland as good as Franklin to their jobs during fannie mae as good as freddie mac so when he asks for 440 BILLION which is fundamentally the presidential order)
Also note: The govt can not force the bank to have the bad loan. And surely, an ALL REPUBLICAN GOVT would not force the bank to have the bad loan. In 2002, republicans tranquil both association as good as the white house. You can’t censure this upon democrats as good as barney frank.
In fact, bush’s tip 2 promissory note appointees have settled which the CRA – village reinvestment action – has had absoutely zero to do with the promissory note crisis.
Bush nominee Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke pronounced “Experience runs opposite to the assign which CRA was during the base of, or differently contributed in any concrete approach to, the stream debt difficulties.” In the Nov 25, 2008, letter, Federal Reserve authority Ben Bernanke stated: “Our own knowledge with CRA over some-more than thirty years as good as new research of accessible data, together with interpretation upon subprime loan performance, runs opposite to the assign which CRA was during the base of, or differently contributed in any concrete approach to, the stream debt difficulties.”
Most subprime mortgages not released by institutions underneath CRA. In the paper published upon the website of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, Michigan law highbrow Michael Barr settled which as of 2005: “Only twenty-five percent of subprime loans were done by banks as good as thrifts, as good as the Federal Reserve reports which usually 6 percent of subprime loans were CRA-eligible.” Similarly, the 2008 investigate by the law organisation specializing in CRA correspondence estimated which in the fifteen many populous civil areas, 84.3 percent of subprime loans in 2006 were done by monetary institutions not governed by the CRA.
Bush nominee FDIC president Shelia Blair pronounced in the following speech:

December 17, 2008
Good sunrise as good as appreciate we for mouth-watering me to speak.
What I’d similar to to do currently is cover up dual misconceptions which have been present lately. The initial parable is which the Community Reinvestment Act caused the monetary crisis. And the second parable is which operative with uneasy homeowners to revoke foreclosures lacks coercion as good as might be same to the fool’s errand.
CRA as the scapegoat
I consider we can determine which the formidable interplay of unsure behaviors by lenders, borrowers, as good as investors led to the stream monetary storm. To be sure, there’s copiousness of censure to go around. However, I wish to give we my outcome upon CRA: NOT guilty.
Point of fact: Only about one-in-four higher-priced initial debt loans were done by CRA-covered banks during the hey-day years of subprime debt lending (2004-2006). The rest were done by in isolation eccentric debt companies as good as vast bank affiliates not lonesome by CRA rules.
You’ve listened the line of attack: The supervision told banks they had to have loans to people who were bad credit risks, as good as who could not means to repay, only to infer which they were creation loans to low- as good as moderate-income people.
Let me ask you: where in the CRA does it say: have loans to people who can’t means to repay? No-where! And the actuality is, the lending practices which have been causing problems currently were driven by the enterprise for marketplace share as good as income expansion … pristine as good as simple.
CRA isn’t perfect. But it has stayed around some-more than thirty years since it works. It encourages FDIC-insured banks to lend in low as good as assuage income (or LMI) areas, as good as I quote, -”consistent with the s

Because Bush was a mack daddy who liked to make it RAIN!!
Ask your boy Barney Frank, who said Fannie and Freddie were fine in the summer of 2008.
I love it. You ask a question blaming Bush and then post quotes complaining about Bush being too liberal and then (as if that’s not counter-intuitive enough) you blame all conservatives.
Because the Tea Party only cares about their so called bogus “cause” when it’s not a Republican. How many millions of republicans supported Bush during those times, how many republican politicians supported Bush during those times. All of a sudden, a democrat is in office and they’ve become a bunch of hypocrites that Id never respect. I’d never vote for a republican, they’re all hypocrites
oh gawd, bush didn’t create that nightmare. the union thugs got bill clinton to sign the bill that went into effect by the time bush got into office. union thugs intimidated bankers at work and at their homes.
the bill made it too easy get loans. poor people need mortgages too and the unions to the rescue. in time all the defaults became horrendice. not bushes’ fault.

Simple. Borrowing money is the quickest way to stimulate the economy. As long as someone, somewhere, is borrowing and spending money, that money stimulates the economy.
Borrowing even more money would have looked even worse for the Bush administration so they found a way to keep the economy going without borrowing even more money. Encourage consumers to borrow money, for houses they never could afford via Fannie Mae and Freddie mac. Those who already owned houses were encouraged to take out second, third, and fourth mortgages (Not by Bush, specifically, )
If government debt, or more government debt, is politically unacceptable then leaders encourage more consumer debt instead to stimulate the economy.
Every time a house gets built it creates lots of jobs in the construction industry. And all those newly employed construction workers spend their money in still other industries. So the economy does great, for a while.
Some people also take out 2nd and 3rd mortgages on their homes and then go out and buy stuff they don’t need. This happens whenever home equity values goes up as a result of real estate booms.
In the long term though, you get a lot of consumer debt, and then those consumers aren’t buying any goods and services because their income is going to debt payments. Or those consumers lose their jobs and default on their loans. Which is exactly what has been happening in the last 2 years..
