This was the obvious finale to the CRA's extortion of inner-city mortgage lenders. 1. First we force banks to loan to deliquents by threatening them with lawsuits. 2. Then we excuse the non-paying delinquents by blaming "predatory lenders." 3. Then we use the resultant market chaos to justify "helping homeowners [sic*] facing foreclosure." Gramsci would be proud!
