"Credit to banks at all time high - but the are still not lending"

You know, President Obama wants lending institutions to start issuing more
loans.  From earlier this month:

The Obama administration is engaged in a broad push to make more home loans
available to people with weaker credit, an effort that officials say will
help power the economic recovery but that skeptics say could open the door
to the risky lending that caused the housing crash in the first place.

President Obama’s economic advisers and outside experts say the nation’s
much-celebrated housing rebound is leaving too many people behind,
including young people looking to buy their first homes and individuals
with credit records weakened by the recession.

In response, administration officials say they are working to get banks to
lend to a wider range of borrowers by taking advantage of taxpayer-backed
programs — including those offered by the Federal Housing Administration —
that insure home loans against default.



Yes, you read that correctly.  The Administration wants to make it easier
for people with "weak" credit to get mortgages.
