They must just finance all those campaigns out of a sense of patriotic duty then.


Corporate money is prohibited to be donated for federal elections and individuals are only permitted to donate $5,600 per candidate per election ($8,400 if you go into a run off). And their PAC is limited to $5,000 per election.

Please tell me how they are "financing campaigns" at those numbers

I enjoyed the tweet. Good words to live by. Wish more people actually heeded the advice instead of trying to dismiss it based on some preconceived notion that the sender has no right to give said advice.

If only they could come up with something to get around that. They could call it a political action committee, or something like that.

Was Chase bank, and other major corporate banks that are the basis of this conversation, subject to the CRA?

Yes or no will suffice.

Pretty sure they are when a bank purposefully let's them get in debt knowing they're going to default them down the road and leave them with nothing.


You realize that your position means stating that the banks are so dumb they couldn't figure out these people were awful investment risks, right?

Nothing wrong with wiki as a source. Well, that is unless you don't actually understand the context of what you're quoting and just search for verbiage that you think supports your case.

Not saying you are wrong, but it was interesting to me so i googled it and saw 1 article on a pretty sketchy site.

If what you're saying is true, then Chase basically took a loan it didn't want from the government and then they repaid the government with interest of probably close to half of a billion dollars as was set out in the TARP program.

interesting indeed.


I can tell you with out a doubt that several "small community" banks across the country were forced to take TARP...this was so banks that actually needed it didn't stand out and have deposit runs...there were only a handful of banks in the SubPrime / CDO industry

I'm pretty sure a person has to have income to get a loan or CC.

I'm also pretty sure banks have formulas they use to ensure the person can at least make the minimum payment.

If a person defaults that's not on the bank.

Banks do a service by lending money. It's a mutual transaction. It does the bank absolutely no good to give loans that they know can't be repaid and will go in to default, possibly go through bankruptcy.

I'll bet you're a sociality major.

It's a nice source for basic information, but I wouldn't try to prove complex situations using Wiki.

Can you not read? PAC's are limited to $5k. That's the limits for a PAC per election.

Unrelated. The contention was that the government forced these loans. This was false.

Well, to be fair, he did try to use wikipedia as a prime source for his argument.

Although strangely enough, he's yet to answer my simple question...
