Still trying to figure out what Palin and Bachmann have to do with Maxine? The first two aren't in political office.

They are just as crazy except the right loves them and they control the GOP.

LOL, no.


The CRA is tiny. It wasn't large enough to affect the American real estate market, much less global real estate markets.

Tsk tsk, that's a bald, shall we say, misrepresentation of the truth. The Democrats used the CRA as a bludgeon to force banks to make loans to people who never had a chance of paying them back. The CRA was the seed that started the whole mess, and by denying that basic truth guarantees we have another fiasco.

But I know you folks on the left want to deny any connection to the housing collapse, and it's so much easier to just blame Wall Street.

Palin and Bachmann control the Republican Party? I think there is a chance that you just flew out of the cuckoo nest with that statement.

You are failing to draw a distinction between CRA and subprime.

Like I said, CRA was too small to have a serious impact on global real estate markets, or global capital flows in general.
