</div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Eleven years have passed since the economic meltdown of September 2008, which accelerated the Great Recession and marked the worst economic downturn since the 1929 crash and the Great Depression of the 1930s. This month, the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia released a working paper titled “Owner-Occupied Fraud and Mortgage Fraud” — and as journalists Malaika Jabali and Ryan Grim see it, the paper effectively tries to let Wall Street off the hook for the 2008 downturn and falsely blames lower income borrowers.</div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">“The new study zeroes in on what its authors call ‘fraudulent investors’: people who got mortgages for investment homes in which they never intended to live, despite claiming that they would,” Jabali and Grim note. And such victim-blaming, they argue, is “similar to faulting hoodwinked students for taking out massive loans from fraudulent for-profit colleges.”</div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="font-size: small;">Jabali and Grim observe that blaming the poor and people of color for the Great Recession is nothing new. In a 2009 report, former Texas Rep. Jeb Hensarling” (a Republican) insisted that homeowners facing foreclosures “simply made bad choices” and “overestimated their readiness for homeownership.”</div><div style="font-size: small;">
</div><div style="font-size: small;">Hensarling’s report, according to Jabali and Grim, reflected a belief that “law enforcement and regulatory response should focus on the borrowers, not the lenders on Wall Street or their brokers.” And that type of thinking, they assert, is alive and well in the new working paper by the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.</div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">“The working paper, which comes with a disclosure saying it doesn’t represent the opinion of the Philadelphia Fed, complements other research indicating that the ‘subprime mortgage crisis’ is a myth,” Jabali and Grim explain. “But it doesn’t go all the way to citing the role of Wall Street, which is convenient for politicians and regulators uninterested in policing those banks.”</div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Jabali and Grim, however, make a distinction between overtly racially motivated Republican analysis of the economic downturn and the “more sophisticated academic response” in the financial world.</div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">

</div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">“While the conservative response to the crisis was to blame black and brown homeowners, the more sophisticated academic response extends the blame more broadly to other borrowers,” Jabali and Grim observe. “The new paper, authored by Ronel Elul, Aaron Payne and Sebastian Tilson, studied the pervasiveness of what it called owner-occupancy fraud — that is, borrowers who applied for home purchase loans as owner-occupants despite no evidence of them subsequently occupying the home.”</div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">

</div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Jabali and Grim conclude their Intercept article by stressing that attacking recipients of subprime loans while letting Wall Street and large banks off the hook is quite disingenuous and misleading.</div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">“While recognizing that these subprime borrowers were not the crisis’ primary drivers, recent studies like those published by Philadelphia’s Fed nevertheless blame borrowers and not the actors who created the conditions and set the terms for such transactions,” Jabali and Grim write. “Wall Street banks — whose insatiable demand for loan products it could slice up, securitize, slap a AAA rating on, and sell to pension funds — had created an industry of brokers ready to produce that supply by any means of fraud necessary.”</div><div style="font-size: small; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">

</div><div><div>House Republicans’ Vote to Gut Dodd-Frank Is the Wall Street Giveaway That Wall Street Doesn’t Need</div><div>
</div><div>By Daniel Gross</div><div>
</div><div>
</div><div>On Thursday, the House of Representatives passed the Financial Choice Act, which is aimed at reducing the regulatory burden on banks imposed by the 2010 Dodd-Frank law. As the Wall Street Journal noted, the Financial Choice Act would “subject new financial rules to cost-benefit analysis, boost penalties for financial wrongdoers and repeal the Volcker rule restricting banks from speculative trading.” The general thrust is to free banks from oversight. Some banks would be exempt from the federal stress tests, and the legislation would scale back the ability of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to ride herd on abusive bank practices.</div><div>
</div><div>Of course, it’s only the House. Similar legislation in the Senate would have to beat a filibuster, and hence require some Democratic votes. So it’s not likely the Choice Act will become law in its current form. Which is a good thing. The idea that banks and the broader financial system need relief from today’s regulatory regime is belied by reality, including their balance sheets. The case for repeal of Dodd-Frank would be more compelling if banks were suffering—failing to make money, failing to attract deposits, failing in general. But they’re not.</div><div>
</div><div>Which highlights an important historical truth. Sure, deregulating an industry can supercharge growth for a few years. But it often ends up in a crash. That’s what happened with the savings and loan industry in the 1980s, and with Wall Street in the 2000s. Setting and enforcing standards, on the other hand, is actually quite good for a sector’s long-term health. Wall Street and the banking system only got back on their feet in the 1930s after the passage of sweeping New Deal reforms. Insurers and many areas of the health care economy have thrived under the Affordable Care Act. Just so, the U.S. banking system—which was in shambles in 2009—has thrived since the passage of Dodd-Frank. In fact, it’s hard to recall a point in recent history when banks were as safe and as profitable as they are right now.</div><div>
</div><div>The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation provides a handy reading of the sector’s health with its voluminous Quarterly Banking Profile. Dodd-Frank became law on July 27, 2010. In the quarter before its passage, the banking industry was licking its wounds and getting back on its feet after the financial crash, the housing bust, and the credit crisis. Twenty percent of the nation’s 7,830 banks were losing money, and 45 banks failed that quarter. The nation’s insured banks collectively charged off $49 billion in bad debt—loans they had made but now concluded they had no hope of collecting. Some 829 banks, with total assets of $403 billion, were on the FDIC’s “problem list.” Collectively, the industry eked out a profit of $21 billion.</div><div>
</div><div>The successive quarterly reports tell a tale of recovery and profitable growth—with vastly lower rates of failure and significantly higher profits.</div><div>
</div><div>Now, Dodd-Frank contained a lot of regulations. And while it did explicitly ban some practices—like using government-insured deposits to engage in proprietary trading—the most important thing it did was to set higher standards. Want to be part of the Federal Deposit Insurance program? Then you’ve got to hold more capital, you have to submit to annual stress tests, and you must operate with the knowledge that the CFPB is going to be watching you to make sure you aren’t abusing your customers.</div><div>
</div><div>While banks grumbled and lobbied for changes, they generally complied with Dodd-Frank. As a result, they became more careful and choosy about how they lent. Many smaller institutions that were struggling to survive decided it made more sense to merge or being acquired. Thanks to consolidation and failure, there were 5,856 banks in the first quarter of 2017, 25 percent fewer than in early 2010.</div><div>
</div><div>The pace of lending abated from the frenzied tempo of the bubble years. But lending today is far more effective—and profitable—than it was before Dodd-Frank. It helps that the economy and jobs have been expanding consecutively for the last several years. But we haven’t seen the type of reckless lending from banks that tend to take place as expansion lengthen.</div><div>
</div><div>
</div><div>Bank failures have fallen virtually every year. Last year, only five small banks failed. The number of banks on the problem list has fallen to 112, and they’re mostly very small. The combined assets of today’s troubled banks is $24 billion—a decline of 94 percent from before the passage of Dodd-Frank. The Federal Deposit Insurance Fund, which was $20 billion in the hole in the spring of 2010, is at a record high of $83 billion. Only 3 percent of the banks in the U.S. reported a less in the most recent quarter. Banks charged off $11.5 billion in bad loans in the quarter—a decline of 75 percent from the second quarter of 2010. After making a combined—and record—$170 billion in profits in 2016, banks regulated by the FDIC earned $44 billion in the first quarter of 2017.</div><div>
</div><div>Does this really look like an industry that is struggling mightily in the face of zealous regulation?</div></div><div>https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/08/business/dealbook/house-financial-regulations-dodd-frank.html

House approved legislation on Thursday to erase a number of core financial regulations put in place by the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, as Republicans moved a step closer to delivering on their promises to eliminate rules that they claim have strangled small businesses and stagnated the economy.
The vote is a significant step for a measure that still faces long odds of becoming law because of the slim majority that Republicans hold in the Senate.
Even Wall Street lobbyists and lawyers were pessimistic about the chances of the bill, the Financial Choice Act.
“There is zero chance that the Choice Act survives” in its current form in the Senate, said Matthew Dyckman, a lawyer in the financial services practice at Goodwin.
Yet the bill’s passage in the House, by 233 to 186, keeps alive the Republican Party’s dream of unwinding one of President Barack Obama’s signature accomplishments. The vote quickly drew the ire of Democrats who argued that Republicans were giving a handout to Wall Street while putting everyday investors at risk.
The bill has maintained a low profile compared with Republican plans on health care and taxes, but rolling back Dodd-Frank represents a major part of the Republican agenda. The Trump administration hopes that by unshackling businesses from burdensome regulations, renegotiating trade deals and cutting tax rates, it can help the economy grow faster and well-paying jobs will become more plentiful.
“Ultimately the Financial Choice Act is a jobs bill,” Speaker Paul D. Ryan said on the House floor on Thursday. “It is why we were sent here, to look out for the people who work hard and do the right thing.”
The House vote comes before a Treasury Department report due in the coming days that will detail the Trump administration’s plans for easing financial regulations. And a lighter regulatory touch is already expected as a result of the administration’s appointments of banking industry veterans to serve as financial regulators.
The bill passed the House with only Republican support. But it is possible that bipartisan backing could emerge for parts of the legislation or for fixes to Dodd-Frank that could eventually become law.
The Choice Act would exempt some financial institutions that meet capital and liquidity requirements from many of Dodd-Frank’s restrictions that limit risk taking. It would also replace Dodd-Frank’s method of dealing with large and failing financial institutions, known as the orderly liquidation authority — which critics say reinforces the idea that some banks are too big to fail — with a new bankruptcy code provision.
In addition, the legislation would weaken the powers of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Under the proposed law, the president could fire the agency’s director at will and its oversight powers would be curbed.
The bill would also eliminate the Labor Department’s fiduciary rule, which requires brokers to act in the best interest of their clients when providing investment advice about retirement. The first parts of the rule are scheduled to go into effect on Friday. The rule was completed last spring under Mr. Obama after years of development.
According to an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office, the Financial Choice Act would reduce federal deficits by $24.1 billion over a decade. The budget office cautioned, however, that there was considerable uncertainty in its estimates because it was difficult to predict when a “systemically important” financial firm might fail.
Business lobbyists and conservative think tanks have been largely supportive of the plans, which they argue will ease lending and help small companies create jobs.
“The 2010 Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act is among the most inappropriately named laws ever enacted in the U.S.,” said Norbert Michel, a Heritage Foundation research fellow. “It neither reformed Wall Street nor protected consumers, and it imposed massive new regulations on banks far away from Wall Street.”Optimism about big changes remains tempered, however.
While expressing polite, if restrained, gratitude to Representative Jeb Hensarling, the Texas Republican who championed the dismantling of Dodd-Frank for years, banking lobbyists were realistic about actual changes the Senate Democrats would be willing to swallow.
The Senate, they said, is expected to preserve the Consumer Financial Protection Board and the Volcker Rule, which restricts profitable forms of trading by investment banks. A Senate version would probably keep in place most of the rules dictating how much capital lenders have to hold in case of losses.
The most significant relief that Wall Street institutions can expect from Congress is tweaking a rule in Dodd-Frank to allow them to charge higher rates on mortgages that they hold, as opposed to the loans they package and sell in securitizations.
In short, the rules governing the nation’s largest banks, like J.P. Morgan Chase and Bank of America, are not expected to change very much. Some of those banks have been cool to the Choice Act anyway, since they have invested large resources to comply with Dodd-Frank.
“It’s an important first step,” Robert Nichols, president and chief executive of the American Bankers Association, said of the vote. “We are seeking targeted, narrow changes and adjustments to a law that is seven years old, and even the authors admit openly that there are parts of it where we missed the mark and we overshot.”
The nation’s community banks, on the other hand, hope to see some significant easing of regulations on their lending and capital levels.
These vocal and typically conservative-leaning bankers have complained for years that Dodd-Frank has strangled their business with needless paperwork and data collection.
“These rules were meant to placate some bureaucrat in an ivory tower in Washington, D.C.,” said John M. Barrett, chief executive of Citrus Bank in Tampa.
Among progressive groups and Democrats in Congress, the passage of the Choice Act was painted as nothing more than a gift to rich bankers. They said Republicans’ support for the legislation was evidence that their populist promises on the campaign trail were empty.
“It’s a bill that’s so harmful to vast swaths of the American public if it became law,” said Lisa Donner, executive director of Americans for Financial Reform. “It would make it easier for predatory lenders to rip people off. It would make it easier for Wall Street to keep taking $17 billion out of retirees’ pockets by repealing the fiduciary rule. It would make it easier for big Wall Street banks to take the kind of risks in pursuit of short-term gains that go directly to the pockets of the tiny handful of people at the top that led to the financial crisis.”
Democratic political organizations such as American Bridge are hoping to make vulnerable House Republicans pay for their votes at the polls in the 2018 midterm elections. The group is rolling out digital advertisements in 14 congressional districts on Friday to assail lawmakers who voted to change Dodd-Frank.
“Just like with Trumpcare, every Republican who supports the Choice Act is acting on behalf of the wealthiest Americans at the rest of the country’s expense, and the public will hold them accountable,” said Andrew Bates, a spokesman for American Bridge.
On the floor of the House on Thursday, as Democrats in lock step expressed their opposition to the bill they have nicknamed the Wrong Choice, they argued that Republicans had forgotten the lessons of the 2008 financial crisis.
“These are not the choices that the American people want,” said Representative Nancy Pelosi, Democrat of California, the minority leader. “House Republicans are feeding American families to the wolves on Wall Street.”

Jeb Hensarling of Texas – the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee who has championed the regulation-stripping Financial Choice Act on Capitol Hill – is backing new legislation that would further peel back Dodd-Frank regulatory layers by taking particular aim at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.</div><div class="ad-in-text-target " style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">The new bill in question reportedly would limit the bureau's ability to police the private sector and scrap its consumer complaint databases. It also would change the structure of the agency's directorship – making it an appointed position open to at-will termination....Currently, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is headed by Richard Cordray, whose term expires in 2018. Per the terms of Dodd-Frank, the bureau's director can only be ousted "for cause" and not based solely on political whims.Dodd-Frank supporters have argued that this makes the bureau immune to party-motivated shakeups. But critics contend it grants it an inappropriate amount of autonomy and freedom from government oversight.Notably, the bureau's leadership structure was deemed unconstitutional by a federal court last year, though the agency since has appealed that decision.The memo obtained by CNBC, dated Feb. 6, indicates the new bill tied to Hensarling would make the head of the agency more susceptible to termination, and appears to diverge from the five-member bipartisan panel Hensarling's Financial Choice Act called for to lead the bureau.The new bill also would reportedly target the so-called living will tests banks are required to adhere to through the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., as well as the Federal Reserve. It was not immediately clear when the potential legislation might be introduced, and a House Financial Services Committee spokesman told U.S. News he could not confirm the memo's authenticity.A separate committee aide told U.S. News that the office had been receiving calls Thursday related to the memo, though he also did not confirm its legitimacy.Hensarling additionally pushed a hard-line view of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in an op-ed published Thursday in The Wall Street Journal, describing the agency as "the most destructive and dangerous of the new bureaucracies created by the Democrat-dominated 111th Congress."He wrote that "even with good policy, the CFPB would still be unconstitutional" and that "the agency must be functionally terminated" – possibly by using a reconciliation bill to cut its funding."The CFPB has eroded freedom, trampled due process and killed jobs. It must go," Hensarling wrote.Hensarling for years has been critical of Dodd-Frank's implementation and the Federal Reserve's enhanced regulatory responsibilities under former President Barack Obama. Shortly after Election Day, he reportedly was under consideration for a Cabinet position in President Donald Trump's administration.Hensarling's goals of peeling back regulations and targeting Dodd-Frank appear to dovetail with Trump's, who said in a meeting with executives last week that he plans to be "cutting a lot out of Dodd-Frank" in the years ahead.</div>https://www.cfpbmonitor.com/tag/hensarling/lawyers blogCFPB Monitor is a blog focused exclusively on important goings-on at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), the independent consumer financial regulatory and enforcement agency created by the Dodd-Frank Act.

In 6 years, it’s returned more than $11 billion from banks to consumers they’ve cheated.So it’s amazingly tone deaf that Jeb Hensarling, the House’s top-ranking Republican on banking issues, chose TODAY to push a bill to knee-cap the CFPB and fire a torpedo at Wall Street reforms holding big banks in check.<a rel="nofollow" target="blank" href="http://act.demandprogress.org/sign/stop-wall-street-attack-cfpb/?source=rootstrikers&t=3&akid=4602.3765554.otTnMw" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1473784994109_14652" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; outline: none; background: transparent;">Sign the petition to Congress: ABSOLUTELY NOT. Oppose Rep. Hensarling’s attack on the CFPB and Dodd-Frank Wall Street reforms – and any plan to undermine rules holding Wall Street accountable when it breaks the law.</a>Hensarling’s bill would dramatically weaken the CFPB by changing from an effective single director to a gridlocked 5-person commission and taking away its funding source so it has to go hat-in-hand to Congress each year for funding.If Hensarling’s bill “just” gutted the CFPB it would be bad. But this terrible legislation goes much MUCH further.It reads like a wish list for big bank lobbyists. (Which is probably why the big bank lobbyists at the American Bankers Association sent out a memo praising it).This bill, the so-called “Financial CHOICE Act” (H.R. 5983) tears apart the vital Dodd-Frank Wall Street reforms passed after the 2008 meltdown – and more – by:☑ Revoking the authority to break up “too big to fail” banks ☑ Repealing the important Volcker Rule, which blocks banks from making risky gambles with your deposit money solely to increase their profits ☑ Stopping the Labor Department’s common-sense fiduciary rule, which requires retirement advisers to point you toward investments that serve your best interest, not ones that give them a kickback ☑ And WAYYY more bad policies than there’s room to write (it’s 513 pages long)=6. Texas Rep. Jeb Hensarling: 'We don’t have to fund laws we didn’t pass.'If and when the current crisis passes, perhaps the people will rise up and demand that their representatives be familiar with, at least, the rudiments of governance. Lonestar Congressman Jeb Hensarling revealed he could use a remedial course in it this week in his response to Andrea Mitchell’s point that lifting the debt ceiling meant simply that we would be paying the bills for bills and programs that Congress already agreed to pay for. Hensarling retorted that "this House" didn't vote for the stimulus, and that "this House' didn't vote for Obamacare.” This is novel in the history of American democracy: the notion that Congress is not obligated to pay the bills for programs passed by a previous Congress. We don’t want to give them ideas—although the right-wing fringe already has this one, but according to this argument they could refuse to pay for Social Security as a pre-condition for "negotiations" since "this House" didn't vote for the Social Security Act.They could refuse to pay for everything, except of course, their own salaries, benefits and gym facilities.=lcv 9/6%<a href="http://scorecard.lcv.org/moc/jeb-hensarling">http://scorecard.lcv.org/moc/jeb-hensarling</a><div class="tableRow dataItem" style="margin: 0px;

He was reelected in 2004 with 64% of the vote over Democratic challenger Bill Bernstein.A December 31, 2005 article in the <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/National_Review" title="National Review" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: none;">National Review</a> profiled his work as the country's "budget nanny", saying that he has replaced his mentor, former Senator <a href="http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Phil_Gramm" title="Phil Gramm" style="text-decoration: none; background-image: none;">Phil Gramm</a>, in this role. Hensarling's proposed legislation is said to intend to force Congress to "decide how much money they can afford to spend, and then prioritize within those limits."
