Many banks in Texas would not make the no verification loans mandated by Bill Clinton's legislation that forced lending institutions to make high risk loans. They paid fines annually for lack of compliance! They are the healthy banks today! The top ten Foreclosure States complied with Clinton's no verification home loans that sunk Fannie, Freddie, Country Wide Credit, Citi, AIG, Merrell Lynch, Bear Stearns, Lehman, and many other banks and lending institutions. But Clinton was such a Partiotic fella! Barney Franks, Chris Dodd, Frank Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and other Liberals supported the irresponsible decisions and behavior and blocked legislation to regulate it! Enjoy the BAILOUTS!

In 2003-2006, weren't those top four states the hottest markets in the country? In perhaps even that order?
