Trump Spoke To Hispanic And Black Americans

[Anonymous]

There is lending to low income neighborhoods and then there are predatory loans. Trump cleared the way again for predatory loans. Trump is an enemy of the working man.

I was a Clinton fan.  At the time, I supported his deregulatory policies thinking it would free up capital for those at the bottom. But, the fact is, not everybody should own their own home or a business. It turns out Bill Clinton was one of the most reckless presidents to have ever occupied the white house. His legacy is the 2008 sub prime mortgage crisis. Oh ya, and trade deals that hollowed out the industrial sector.

Actually, pay for the bottom 25 percent of wage earners, who account for 82 percent of the population, rose 4.5 percent in November 2019 from the year-ago period, according to recent data published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. That's the highest since July 2008. These are the people that have the most to lose from Biden globalist America last approach to governing or rather selling out.

You are so full of shit. 2008 was during the recession caused by the Republicans.

Make up your mind. The post above indicates you do have a clue and then post this kind of ignorant nonsense.



The financial crisis was global. In the US the trigger was the sub prime mortgage crisis. It had it's origins in the presidency of Bill Clinton. Clinton repealed the Glass-Steagall Act, a cornerstone of Depression-era regulation. He also signed the Commodity Futures Modernization Act, which exempted credit-default swaps from regulation. In 1995 Clinton loosened housing rules by rewriting the Community Reinvestment Act, which put added pressure on banks to lend in low-income neighborhoods. Certainly Bush continued the failed policy of encouraging lending to people who can't afford to pay it back.

Good show Seoul..



Some people have short or selected memories.

Worst president ever for blue collar workers was Bill Clinton. And yes, the sub rime mortgage crisis was his fault.

Yeah, and then Bush let things blow up. Obama made legislation to fix it and Trump reversed everything.

Anything Obama put forward was maliciously shot down by Mitch McConnell as well. If the Democrats are able to tie up the senate everything will be fine. Otherwise Mitch McConnell is hellbent on destroying America to make the Democrats look bad.

Bill Clinotn was pure evil The worst president by a country mile. And the president-elect voted for most of his failed policies including locking up black men for minor offenses.

In 1995, using the powers of the presidency, Bill Clinton turned the 1977 Community Reinvestment Act into an aggressive program that basically forced banks to lend money to "underserved" communities. That meant those with low incomes who couldn't necessarily repay a loan.



Meanwhile, his Department of Housing and Urban Development got involved in a big way.



Jack Cashill, writing for the American Thinker, notes: "HUD, which Congress had made the regulator of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 1992, began to pressure these agencies to set numerical goals for affordable housing, even if that meant buying subprime mortgages. The media cheered the agencies on."



Under HUD Secretary Andrew Cuomo, the agency became particularly aggressive, in 2000 making a goal of over $1 trillion in new loans to low-income minority households. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were told to make at least half of their loans to low- and moderate-income borrowers, mainly minorities.



Banks suddenly found that regulators had the power to refuse their branch expansions or reject a merger if they weren't making enough loans to otherwise unqualified minority borrowers. So they played along. They made the loans, and Freddie and Fannie bought the loans right back. It was like a game of musical chairs, and the Fed kept the game going in the early 2000s by cutting interest rates.



Every time Republicans in Congress or President Bush talked about reforming housing programs, Democrats like Rep. Barney Frank of Massachusetts and Sen. Chris Dodd of Connecticut threw fits, threatening to gum up Congress and implying that GOP lawmakers were racists. The Republicans backed off.



From 1997 to 2007, with the Fed slashing interest rates and flooding the banking system with liquidity, home lending soared. Banks abandoned long-standing lending standards to avoid being punished by regulators or singled out by newly empowered "community groups" such as ACORN as anti-minority.



"As a result of these policies," wrote Peter J. Wallison, a member of the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, in a scathing dissent from the group's official findings, "by the middle of 2007, there were approximately 27 million subprime and Alt-A mortgages in the U.S. financial system — half of all mortgages outstanding — with an aggregate value of over $4.5 trillion." And by 2008, Fannie and Freddie had on their books more than three-quarters of all U.S. subprime and Alt-A loans made.



When the Fed began raising interest rates to slow inflation, and put a brake on soaring housing prices, many of the loans made to low-income black and Hispanic borrowers predictably fell into delinquency or default — leaving mortgage lenders, Fannie and Freddie, and Wall Street with enormous losses.

Obama presided over the weakest recovery in US history. No surprise, he didn't campaign on high growth like Clinton did in 1996 and Trump in 2016. As we know now the Clinton growth strategy was reckless and unsustainable. The Trump growth strategy focused on the real economy(manufacturing, resource development) and not on creating an artificial housing and dotcom bubble.

Obama should have invoked his executive privilege more often. Biden will be following Trump's example and will use it often.

100% Mitch McConnell. He blocked everything Obama put forward. He is currently blocking stimulus and covid relief. Real scumbag.

The lowest Black unemployment rate under President Bush was 7.7 percent in August 2007. The best Black unemployment under Obama was 10.7 in June 2014 (matching Bush's worst) and the worst was 16.5 percent in 2011.



Poverty. There were 46 million living in poverty in the U.S. – the largest number in 50 years. The percentage of Blacks in poverty was 28 percent. The percentage of Blacks under age 18 in poverty has grown under Obama and was 40 percent.



Three years into the Trump administration, African Americans experienced a record low unemployment rate of 5.4% in August 2019.



Under Clinton blacks went to jail. Under Obama, they went to the welfare office and food bank. Under Trump, they went to work.

Everything democrats put forward is shit.



Pelosi has treated stimulus and covid relief like the golden goose for bailing out leftist controlled states and funding unrelated programs.



You're an idiot.

STFU, you degenerate pos. The 2008 recession was caused by the collapse of the housing bubble which was started by the Clinton administration and allowed to run wild by congressional democraps such as Chris Dod and company on the Banking Committee...You know nothing about American politics or American history. You're nothing but a crayon college drop out, so fuck off.



Shouldn't you be ogling pictures of raped children or stalking someone off line?....Because you sure as shit shouldn't be talking American politics, you empty headed, pile of shit.
