Title: Happy 10th Birthday, Bush Tax Cuts! You've been a failure in every conceivable way

Unfortunately, the tax cuts never translated into robust economic growth, either. Indeed, the aughts saw the worst growth since World War II. From 2001 to 2007, annual GDP growth averaged just 2.4 percent per year, lower than in any other postwar business cycle. The contrast is starker still when judging against the previous decade. In real terms, GDP grew half as much from 2001 to 2010 as from 1991 to 2000.

The disaster that was the Booosh Tax cuts is so apparent that it's not even worth debating any more.

I love how you make drive-by accusations then refuse to back up anything you proclaim by couching your language in weasel words. You need to go back to the disinformation collective and brush up on your skills, comrade.

We went from surplus to deficit in the wink of an eye. The debt EXPLODED and the tax "cuts" did absolutely nothing. Our fiscal problems and the fact that we cannot inplement a TRUE Keynsian solution to the current economic ennui can be traced back to those cuts.

Those are all proven facts.

There's nothing drive-by about it at all. Those cuts were the pinnacle of fiscal irresponsibility - a trait that the GOP demonstrates every time that it gets into power.

You have an amazing ability to argue both that the Bush administration economic policies were a resounding success, and that the economy crashed under Bush due to Clinton.

Amazing.

He's become more absurd over the past few months. His rebuttal to just about any economic point is "CRA!!!!" He hates it that ni**ers can buy houses.

That article blames the CRA for "lax lending standards" while offering absolutely no proof that it did.

Meanwhile, time after time, you have been given empirical data that CRA had zipola to do with the financial crisis.

Believe me, we all "get" that you hate ni**ers owning homes.

Weren’t the majority of the subprime loans made by mortgage service companies not subject to the CRA?

This is true. But it is largely beside the point. A huge driver of the demand for subprime loans was the demand for CRA bonds. Banks operating under the CRA could meet their obligations by buying up CRA loans or MBS built from CRA loans. The CRA created a demand that the mortgage servicers were meeting.

What's more, many smaller mortage service companies hoped to be acquired by larger banks. Increasing their CRA lending made them more attractive take-over targets.

A study put out by the Treasury Department in 2000 found that the CRA was encouraging the mortgage servicers to provide loans to low-income borrowers, in part because the CRA loans had been so successful.

Finally, the Clinton adminstration threatened to subject the mortgage companies to the CRA if they didn't comply voluntarily. They promptly agreed to increase their CRA-type lending in order to escape the kind of public scrutiny that comes with official CRA regulated status.

Chuckles...pure bullshit. There was no disclosure of the origin of the loans within a particular MBS. In other words, Paddy, you had 0 idea if a particular bundling contained a loan made under CRA guidelines. As long as a loan met the pooling requirements of FN/FM, it was in.
