Turning The Ballot Box Against Republicans

When people were first talking about the ACA, I brought up govt cheese. If they couldn't do good cheese, how were they going to do good health insurance. I was proven correct, they couldn't do insurance.

I take it then that you agree that the definitions I presented apply the the usage of the term cheese eater here.

You would have to address that with the people who actually use the term.

I use the term, but I didn't get it from any dictionary, cartoon program, or anybody else that I heard use it before. My meaning is based on personal experience, which I have briefly touched on in other posts before.

I remember a one time distribution of large blocks of cheese to low income people. But the only one I'm familiar with was a time in Baltimore and the cheese (if I remember correctly) was surplus cheese that was reaching an expiration date and it would have otherwise spoiled. I suppose there could have been others, but I don't remember that it was all that much of a bonanza for folks. But by giving away the old surplus cheese, it freed up storage space and saved some money used to rent or maintain storage.

I did see the other definitions of 'cheese-eater', it just doesn't seem as if it has all that much punch, it's more like something you might hear in a 1945 B movie. Also, it's more amusing than offensive, like when a 4 year old calls someone a do do head. I just don't feel the offense it's supposed to engender. But, what the heck, if a few members get pleasure because they think they have found a new naughty word or phrase, I'm happy for them. It's starting to make me chuckle, and I always appreciate a chuckle (el al)

CORRECTION: I just read your link and didn't realize how it is being managed now. I only remembered the program in the late 70's in Baltimore. At least that's when I think it occurred.

Agree; "cheese eater" is very mild like swiss.

But a hell of a lot worse at pointing out to the electorate that it is true. They need to be louder and just as obnoxious as the republican liars.

Its history Baldy. Something you know nothing about.

It's not only history. The GOP is working hard to repeal ACA. If they accomplish this, it's estimated that over 30,000 people will die every year from the lack of medical care.
The republicans support this, and it boggles the mind.

Quote Baldimo:

The recession was not caused by the government forcing institutions to make subprime loans. That is a conservative lie. The program you are referring to, the Community Reinvestment Act, strongly encourages banks to make loans to lower income people. However, those loans had NO part in the 2008 crash. This Federal Reserve research paper spells it out:

Did the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) contribute to foreclosures and the financial crisis? And, is the CRA being reformed?

The Federal Reserve Board has found no connection between CRA and the subprime mortgage problems. In fact, the Board's analysis (102 KB PDF) found that nearly 60 percent of higher-priced loans went to middle- or higher-income borrowers or neighborhoods, which are not the focus of CRA activity. Additionally, about 20 percent of the higher-priced loans that were extended in low- or moderate-income areas, or to low- or moderate-income borrowers, were loans originated by lenders not covered by the CRA. Our analysis found that only six percent of all higher-priced loans were made by CRA-covered lenders to borrowers and neighborhoods targeted by the CRA.

The Community Reinvestment Act was wrongly targeted by conservatives because they did not want to admit that the subprime lending crisis was caused by non-CRA lenders like Countrywide, (the largest subprime mortgage lender), which simply refused to do their legal due diligence in screening loan applicants. Countrywide and other non-CRA lenders abused the system to the point where some loans were sent in as bad two weeks before the first payment was even due. But since the Community Reinvestment Act remedied "redlining" by lending institutions against minorities, the conservatives targeted it and ignored the real problem which caused market to crash. And the anti-minority accusations are repeated to this day by Russian/conservative posters.

Only part of the election that was fake was the demmunist primary.....

Obunga staffers going back to live in parents´ basements:

Go to work for Obunga at age 22 and get turned loose in this economy at age 30, most of these will never work again.

How did you miss the part of the post where I blamed the sub-prime loans on the crash?

The fake election was Hillary winning the DNC nod and even being in the race for President. I'm sure if the DNC hadn't crowned Hillary before the race even started, the Dems could have produced some decent candidates to run against the GOP.

What I remember is that Countrywide rebundled those loans to resell on the open market to make money, knowing that the loans to many were made to unqualified borrowers.
