the real issue is what happened in the last 5 years or so in the housing market. If there were many "affirmitive action" loans issues- probably some- or was it predatory lending encouraged by no regulation and silly sh-t such as credit default swaps not covered by any reserves coming into the fore; large numbers $62 trillion, and totally out of control. It seems to me that the real imbalances started in the last few years and that is what is causing the panic.
