A Foreclosure Tightrope for Democrats

WASINGTON — The swelling outcry over fast-and-loose foreclosures has thrust the Obama administration back into the uncomfortable position of sheltering the banking industry from the demands of an angry public.

Luke Sharrett/The New York Times

“There are, in fact, valid foreclosures that probably should go forward,” said David Axelrod, an adviser to the president.

While senior Congressional Democrats join the calls for a national moratorium on foreclosures, the White House once again is arguing against punishing the industry, just as it did in 2009 amid the outcry over the unbreakable habit of paying large bonuses.

“Irresponsible banks need to be held accountable, but if we have not found a problem with a bank’s process we do not believe that we should impose a moratorium where that can hurt the market and hurt individual buyers,” said Shaun Donovan, secretary of Housing and Urban Development. The administration’s basic logic has not changed since it took office in the depths of the financial crisis: Hitting the financial industry, officials argue in private and in public, hurts the broader economy. A moratorium on foreclosures may provide short-term political satisfaction in an overheated election climate, but the administration fears it will only delay the inevitable and necessary process of forcing many Americans out of homes they cannot afford.

NCRC urges the House Financial Services Committee to restore CFPA as the agency responsible for CRA

 July 14th, 2009
 
The Obama Administration has proposed shifting the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), along with the other consumer protection laws, to the Consumer Financial Protection Agency (CFPA)–a new agency that would be responsible for further developing consumer protection and fair lending regulations, conducting examinations, and enforcing these regulations.   Last week, Chairman Frank of the House Financial Services Committee introduced H.R. 3126, that largely resembles the Obama Administration’s proposal except that jurisdiction of CRA would remain with the existing federal bank agencies. The Administration was correct in their proposal to shift CRA oversight to the CFPA since the existing regulatory agency enforcement of CRA has been inconsistent and weak.  Urge your co-workers, friends, and community partners to call Representatives in your state to tell members of the House Financial Services Committee to keep CRA regulation in this bill, HR 3126!
