Bad home loans are of two kinds. The first is where the borrower lacks the financial resources to repay the loan. The second is where the property is worth less than the loan and/or is likely to decline in value, such as in depressed neighborhoods.
Once again, politics trumps sanity.
like when Bush said we need to get those with bad credit histories into a home?

Most people do not have a choice. Defined benefit pension plans are largely history outside of government. And virtually all government pension plans are hugely underfunded.
you got that Right, and California is a good example of having Underfunded Government Pensions.

You are a liar.
Over 80% of capital gains are from those with over $200k in taxable income.
Less than 13% of all tax returns show any capital gains income.

"Our Ridiculous Approach to Retirement"

"Seventy-five percent of Americans nearing retirement age in 2010 had less than $30,000 in their retirement accounts."

"Almost half of middle-class workers, 49 percent, will be poor or near poor in retirement, living on a food budget of about $5 a day"

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/07/22/opinion/sun...

You are such a dipschit...I want you to tell me why tens of millions of people can't figure out how to invest and retire with more than 30K?

Are they dumb, is it discrimination, or just bad luck?

I get it. You are saying:

A white family is a good loan

A black family with similar financials is a bad loan.

Now, read this very slowly because evidently you don't get it.

The banks loaned money to white families and not black families even though their financials were equal.

California assumes that its invested pension funds will produce a return of 7%-8% every year, because otherwise the state would be unable to fund the plans. Eventually the state will either default or lay off current employees to pay pensions.

Meanwhile, just party on.

In case you haven't been keeping up with current events, the Democrats are proposing to begin seizing private property to fund their redistribution of wealth government. I'm thinking you can't see the obvious flaw.
There is a finite amount of private property. Funding entitlements is infinite. There will be a time when there is no more private property to seize. So, just how will the redistribution program be funded then?
And, this is right out of Das Kapital. You'd know that if you could even define the word "Marxism".
Only someone who is so ignorant they can't even define "Marxism" isn't convinced the Democrats are Marxist communists.

Under redlining, banks did not make loans in certain areas regardless of the race or income of the applicant.

In East Bumfuck, where you live, race is not an issue in home loans.

But banks may be reluctant to loan when the backyard is an auto junkyard.

Maybe Mitt will have that photo framed and hung in a prominent place in the La Jolla digs.

Maybe not.

The first step will be to eliminate the tax deferment for 401(k) plans, which will kill the program.

Then the government will pass a forced savings plan, where they control the money.

Based on the Canner and Bhutta study, former Federal Reserve Governor Randall Kroszner concluded, "we believe that the available evidence runs counter to the contention that the CRA contributed in any substantive way to the current mortgage crisis." In reaching this conclusion, Kroszner and the Federal Reserve Board joined other bank regulators in affirming that CRA did not cause the mortgage-market meltdown. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Chair Sheila Bair has stated, "I want to give you my verdict on CRA: Not guilty." Comptroller of the Currency John Dugan agrees: "CRA is not the culprit behind the sub-prime mortgage lending abuses, or the broader credit quality issues in the marketplace. Indeed, the lenders most prominently associated with sub-prime mortgage lending abuses and high rates of foreclosure are lenders not subject to CRA." All of these regulators were appointed by President George W. Bush.
