Jack Kemp:
"oh, by the way- the crisis...the financial crisis of America today was not caused by the Community Reinvestment Act.
Let me just make it very very clear- the Community Reinvestment Act...Im so sick of people in my party saying that making loans to low income people was Ipso Facto the cause of this breakdown of our financial institutions- nonsense."

  • How could the CRA been to blame when only 6% of the subprime market was loans to low income areas from CRA regulated banks? How can the CRA be to blame when out of the top 25 subprime lenders only 1 was regulated by the CRA? The CRA is only blamed because it makes a scapegoat out of minorities, the poor and jimmy Carter.

  • To feel better about ourselves we tampered with capitalism (CRA Fannie And Freddie Mac) by injecting a Little socialism and that injection caused the problem in the economy. It was bound to happen. Now freedom is on the road to extinction.

  • The lord's Will is done.Toxic assets are crippling the banks and fannie mae is at the very heart of it.

  • R.I.P. Jack. You were a good man.

  • BS, Sorry Jack.
