ACORN agents sued banks who denied them under provisions of the Community Reinvestment Act.<br /><br />It was government meddling in decisions of private financial institutions that got us into this economic debacle.

The Clinton Administration pushed the "lending reforms" of the late 90's that losened credit regulations allowing banks to write loans to people who could not repay them. Then the use of discrimination laws made it very difficult for banks to deny loans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20524196.post-16084666428627402472009-06-17T20:55:03.840-04:002009-06-17T20:55:03.840-04:00Unfortunately, our paid prostitutes, progressives ...Unfortunately, our paid prostitutes, progressives on both sides of the aisle, are much too absorbed in the Cloward-Piven Strategy to pay much attention to such a simplistic idea of being a good neighbor.
