    Given Clinton's role in the sub prime mortgage lending crisis, can you spot the irony?

    Democrats were up to their neck in helping to cause the housing crash.

    And the bottom fell out under Bush and they like to pretend it's all on him.

    No it isn’t. It’s an objective fact of reality. We have the data to show this. Every economic metric trend line has remained unchanged.

    They killed bills that would not do the job to fix it. A weak bill is as bad as no bill. The Democrats fought against any bill. Said nothing is wrong. Bush was calling for a strong bill the same year he was elected and asked over a dozen times.

    No, it doesn't. I guess there is no point debating with someone who can't read graphs.

    BUSH ADMINISTRATION PROVIDES HOMEBUYERS NEW PROTECTION FROM PREDATORY LENDING PRACTICE
    New "Anti-Flipping" Rule Holds Lenders, Sellers and Appraisers Accountable

    WASHINGTON - Housing and Urban Development Secretary Mel Martinez today announced a new initiative in the Bush Administration's efforts to crack down on predatory lending. HUD published a final rule today in the Federal Register addressing property "flipping" on mortgages insured by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA).

    Property "flipping" occurs when a recently acquired property is resold for a considerable profit with an artificially inflated value.

    "The Bush Administration is committed to maintaining a strong housing market in which consumers can feel confident that they are protected from unscrupulous practices," Martinez said. "This final rule represents a major step in our efforts to eliminate predatory lending practices."

    Predatory lending results when home purchasers become unwitting victims of lenders, sellers and appraisers, often working together. The unsuspecting homebuyers either purchase homes with sales prices far in excess of the fair market value, or are substantially overcharged with costs associated with obtaining a mortgage.

    The final rule, "FR-4615 Prohibition of Property Flipping in HUD's Single Family Mortgage Insurance Programs," makes recently flipped properties ineligible for FHA mortgage insurance. It also allows FHA to better manage its insurance risk by requiring additional support for a property's value when a significant increase between sales occurs. Features include:

    Sale by Owner of Record: Only the owner of record may sell a home to an individual who will obtain FHA mortgage insurance for the loan; it may not involve any sale or assignment of the sales contract, a procedure often observed when the homebuyer is determined to have been a victim of predatory practices.

    The DOW has been going up since it went down in 2008 and Trump was not president until 2017.

    Already proven this false. Here is the congressional record for every single bill proposed to regulate fanny/Freddy from 2001-2007. Every single one killed by republicans.

    If you read the two, the big complaint of Bush and

    As I stated before which the White House Letter and this points out, the legislation offered before were to weak and would not do the job.

    Time to Reform Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac | The Heritage ...

    upload_2020-1-21_16-56-7.png

    Since then, Congress has held a series of hearings on Fannie Mae's ... some GSE reform advocates and Bush Administration officials view it as too weak ... a letter to U.S. Treasury Secretary John Snow that financial market instability ... Ideas have consequences, as the saying goes, but the process is seldom instantaneous.

    True, the Left said nothing about Obama's debt but are crying the blues over Trump's?


    https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/13/tha...r-is-huge-but-heres-what-it-really-means.html


    President Barack Obama’s administration racked up nearly as much debt in eight years than in the entire 232-year history of the country before he took office. He entered with $10.6 trillion in total debt and left with the country owing $19.9 trillion. That’s an average tab of $1.16 trillion a year.

    Under President Donald Trump, the debt also has climbed. The $2.06 trillion increase works out to about $991 billion a year, or slightly less than the pace Obama had set.

    The Left wants to point out Trump's debt?

    Unsupportable speculation. The facts remain. Republicans controlled the house and senate and the white house from 2001-2007. They killed every single bill. They are directly responsible for the crash.

    Obama was handed the worst recession in 80 years. That’s expensive to get out of. Tax revenues tank and deficit spending is required to pull out of it. Trump inherited a strong and growing economy, and chose to double the deficit in his first year, and give welfare handouts to the richest 1%. He cut revenues and increased spending. It’s total fiscal incompetence.

    I voted for trump due to his promises to address the debt — not obama. I understand the need to deflect however. He is recently on record as saying no one really cares about the debt — his base surely doesn't (unless it can be used as a dog whistle)

    A nice, eloquent way of saying Americans are a bunch of trailer park trash.
