ACORN caused a lot of the problems when they protested to allow people who could not afford mortgages to get them. I mean, not including the pimps and prostitutes.

ACORN Foresaw the Foreclosure Crisis in 2001

The grassroots group helped Oakland pass a tough anti-predatory lending law that would have halted the housing crisis before it started. Then subprime lenders started making campaign contributions in Sacramento.

Excerpt:

“Back in the late 1990s, ACORN was acutely aware of the grave dangers posed by subprime mortgage lending because of the group’s close work with low-income property owners. ACORN officials were witnessing first-hand how unscrupulous lenders were enticing people to buy homes they couldn’t afford and advising long-time homeowners to strip out all of the equity in their homes. The group then saw those very same people lose everything when their subprime mortgages kicked in and low-income neighborhoods were devastated.

So in 2001, ACORN helped sponsor anti-predatory lending laws in Oakland and a few other cities around the nation that would have greatly curtailed the subprime market.”

The rest.

Tides believes .... yada yada yada- but can it back it up? I'll wager it is all lies, coming from Soros and his kind. So many PR words- all sound and fury signifying nothing, nothing at all.
