That's it? Your basis against the CRA is a partisan blog post? Really? The

I am pretty disappointed. I expected that someone who has seen plenty of 
research would have shared something that counts for research. Something like 
http://www.minneapolisfed.org/publications_papers/pub_display.cfm?id=4136 done 
by Minneapolis Federal Reserve Economists.
