In this video they are saying now what they should have been saying years ago. and contrary to popular belief it is not the effect of the whole Fannie/Feddie thing. It is the effect of repealing acts such as the Glass-Steagal, among others.
Bill Clinton repealed the Glass-Steagal Act. He still defends that move. It is not clear whether that contributed to the banking crisis. It may have it may not have. The primary cause of the banking crisis was the crash of the housing industry which was brought to us by the Community Reinvestment Act.
