Housing Problem?

Our federal government is responsible for many of the problems faced today by this country and its citizens. The 2008 economic collapse was created not by banks and the subprime lending practices, but rather a deliberate action of the federal government, a law called the Community Reinvestment Act. This federal law encouraged banks to do things that they previously thought too risky, provide mortgages to people who could not afford them. The banks, now demonized by the federal government and uninformed people, understood that the lending practices encouraged by the law would lead to increased bank loses and bank failures. The banks understood that these loans were against their own interests and were slow to provide them. To further encourage the banks to offer these high risk, low return loans, federal agencies like HUD under the leadership of Andrew Cuomo, FANNIE MAE, FREDDIE MAC and the FHA under the supervision of politicians like Christopher Dodd and Barney Frank, all implemented policies that would assist banks in transferring the risk and eventual losses to the federal government, other lesser banks and various insurance companies. Still not fully willing to risk viability, the banks were soon targeted by the DOJ for refusing to give subprime loans. Attorney General Janet Reno publicly declared that she would file criminal actions against banks that refused to provide the loans. Numerous interest groups then joined in and began to file suits against the banks. A little known Chicago lawyer and community activist named Barack Obama was just one attorney to file against the banks. The banks finally caved to the tremendous pressure and began to offer loans to nearly anyone who asked. The result was to 2008 economic collapse that nearly brought another Great Depression upon the whole world. It is a collapse from which millions of Americans still have not recovered. To deflect blame for its actions, the federal government and various federal officials spoke out against the banks and actually enacted laws they say will prevent banks from engaging in such risky behavior again.

You think that it was unwise for the federal government to cause such risky lending? Ask yourself why the federal government has entered into 'fair trade' treaties that have caused millions of Americans jobs to be shipped off shore and are now filled by slave labor in third world nations. Ask yourself why the federal government is pushing closer to legalize millions of illegal immigrants now in this country who have artificially lowered the wages of American workers by offering to work for less off the books.

These acts and others by the federal government are contrary to the economic health and national security of the nation. These acts are treasonous. This nation will not long stand if the American people do not act to remove the corrupt and watch the honest.

The national news media has proven that they will not.
