You want to have those banks slow down to a crawl and lose money hand over fist. Foolish person. Democrats caused this mess by having the GSE's like fannie and freddy pass out mortgaged backed securities like they were gold. They were based on the sell price and that was growing. At the same time the CRA and other banking changes cause the subprime loans to soar and then when some could not make payments after the low ARM went up and the principle payments started the foreclosures started. Too many houses ant the bubble popped. crash went the finance industry that held those mortgaged backed securities. The Democrats caused it and then they lecture the beople left holding the bag. What a party. They blame everyone but themselves
