Where did anyone get the idea that the government “made the banks loan money”??
All the government did was guarantee the banks would not suffer huge losses on certain insured mortgages.
Banks lost their way–loaning out money willy-nilly as if they had a tree full of it growing out back. Used to be, if you didn’t qualify, you didn’t get a loan. Then it got so out of hand, my cat got credit card offers in the mail!

Government forces had no influence over credit unions. They’ve been making sound loans throughout the economic downfall. Most of them are still 5-star rated. Most of the experts recommend credit unions. I like my credit union.

Let’s see. The government forces banks to make unsound loans, then punishes them for doing it?

Whatadeal!

Maybe the five stars had expired and they never took them down. Were they giving loans to unqualified recipients?
