Just before Jimmy's Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) came the Equal Credit Opportunity Act signed by Gerald Ford, pretaining to crediting and investing, the name says it all. Then directly leading to what's behind the economic crisis facing our nation right now, is not the banks. It all started in Carter's administration when he readily signed the Community Reinvestment Act in 1977. This act FORCED banks to lower standards for making riskier loans to risky investors. Then came in Bill Clinton's administration that further degraded the banks standards, which allowed for even more risky investments. It just so happens that the bulk speculating came out across on the housing market.
<<They where both Presidents....That's about it... >> Can't expect an intelligent answer from somebody who can't even spell "were". President Reagan, rescued the United States from the inflation and economic recession of the Carter years. By bluffing the Soviet Union into believing we had a "Starwars" antimissile shield, we won the cold war which lead to the freedom of eastern Europe and Russia. Reagan restored pride in the country and through "Reaganomics" lead this country in a period of unequalled economic growth. Carter, gave away the Panama Canal, allowed foreign immigrants who never paid into Social Security to receive benefits. (Leading to the near collapse of the system). Carter started the Community Reinvestment Act which essentially forced mortgage companies to loan money to people who could not afford nor qualify for a mortgage. (This partly why we have the problems we have today). Carter established the Department of Energy which costs us $billions to get us off of foreign oil, a total failure. To improve schools he grew the government by establishing the Department of Education which costs us $billions and once again a miserable failure.
President Carter attempted to solve the energy crisis by establishing the National Energy Act.
The Airline Deregulation Act was signed into law on October 28, 1978. Before this piece of legislature was passed, the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) regulated everything from fares to schedules and all domestic air transport. In Congress and other places as well, there became a popular belief that the CAB was haulting growth and carrying out inefficient practices. Jimmy Carter proposed this legislation in aim of removing government control and opening the deregulated passenger aim transport industry to market forces. These changes were carried out very rapidly and since 1978, nine major airlines and 100 smaller airlines have gone bankrupt. www2.scholastic.com/browse/article.jsp?id=4671
