The Department of Justice is executing a “Witch Hunt”against banks. Through the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division,Attorney General Eric Holder is forcing banks to “relax their mortgage underwriting standards and approve loans for minorities with poor credit as part of a new crackdown on alleged discrimination,”according to a published report by Investor’s Business Daily after reviewing court documents.
The DOJ has already extorted $20 million for weak and poor credit loans from banks that “settled out of court rather than battle the federal government and risk being branded racist.”The DOJ admits another 60 banks are already under “investigation.”Holder’s demanding the banks sign “non-disclosure”settlement agreements barring them from talking while allowing the DOJ to operate behind a curtain of secrecy.
The settlements already extracted from banks force them to make “prime-rate mortgages to low income blacks and Hispanics”with credit problems,even if they are living on welfare. According to IBD,the DOJ has ordered banks to advertise that minorities cannot be turned down for a loan “because they receive public aid,such as unemployment benefits,welfare payments or food stamps.”No job;no problem!
In other words,the DOJ is forcing banks to make loans to people that they know don’t qualify for them and likely won’t be able to afford to repay them,which is precisely the kind of failed public policy that precipitated the financial collapse and recession in 2008.
The DOJ ordered Midwest BankCentre to provide “special financing”in the predominantly black areas of St. Louis for fixed prime rate conventional home loan financing for borrowers “who would ordinarily not qualify for such rates for reasons including the lack of required credit quality,income or down payment.”
Eric Holder and the head of his Civil Rights Division,Tom Perez were both protégés of Janet Reno who launched a similar attack on banks in the early years of the Clinton Administration. That led to an expansion of the Community Reinvestment Act,CRA,and an explosion of forced lending to low-income,poor credit risk borrowers and the sub-prime mortgage industry that collapsed in 2008. Under the weight of massive guarantees of poor quality and defaulted mortgages,the federal government was forced to seize Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. To date about $150 billion has been required to bailout the two agencies to keep them solvent.
Racism…nothing more,nothing less.
you have got to be fucking kidding me,if we don't get rid of ovomit and everything connected with him were fucked as a country
This is what caused the housing mess before ,so he wants to start it all over again Save the country 2012
Completely amazing!! Holder,whom is facing possible criminal charges for Operation Gunrunner,is now telling banks to give home loans to people that obviously cannot afford them when the bank has already proven the applicant(s) credit rating is sufficiently low enough to deny such a loan.
Can anyone say,"Holder,you're STUPID!!"

I think that,In mathematics,a generalized mean,also known as power mean or Hölder mean (named after Otto Hölder),is an abstraction of the Pythagorean means including arithmetic,geometric,and harmonic means.
"Consideration"indicates the fact that all parties to a contract have exchanged something of value. Some common law systems,including Australia,are moving away from the idea of consideration as a requirement. The idea of estoppel or culpa in contrahendo,can be used to create obligations during pre-contractual negotiations
Hunting is the practice of pursuing any living thing,usually wildlife,for food,recreation,or trade. In present-day use,the term refers to lawful hunting,as distinguished from poaching,which is the killing,trapping or capture of the hunted species contrary to applicable law. The species which are hunted are referred to as game,and are usually mammals and migratory or non-migratory gamebirds
