Stress test results: Banks must raise $75 billion

Results of long-awaited bank stress tests reveal that 10 out of
19 banks tested need to raise new capital. Bank of America must
raise $33.9 billion.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Ten of the nation's 19 largest banks
will need to raise a total of $74.6 billion in capital, federal
officials announced Thursday, bringing an end to relentless
speculation about how much more money the nation's leading banks
would need to withstand the recession.

More than two months after launching the so-called "stress test"
program, leading regulators said that more than half of the banks
tested would require capital to absorb additional losses if the
economy weakens further.

Leading the list was Bank of America (BAC, Fortune 500), which
faces a $33.9 billion capital shortfall. Following behind was
Wells Fargo (WFC, Fortune 500) and struggling auto finance firm
GMAC, which will need to raise $13.7 billion and $11.5 billion
respectively.

Beleaguered banking giant Citigroup (C, Fortune 500), which has
taken hold of approximately $50 billion in government aid to
date, is being asked to raise $5 billion, regulators said.

Five regional lenders -- PNC, Regions Financial, SunTrust, Fifth
Third and KeyCorp will also be required to raise new capital. So
will Wall Street investment bank Morgan Stanley (MS, Fortune
500), which regulators said would require $1.8 billion to shore
up its capital position.

Just freaking amazing the damage that Barack O'bingbong caused.

Fixed your typo.

You have your head up your butt. 99% of this problem was Bush and the
policy's of his office.. The little Texas idiot is in hiding.. Need to

Bush sure did screw-up by letting the Democrats destroy Freddie and Fanny by
mandating loans to people that had no hope of paying them back. Bush also
screwed-up by letting these loans get turned into derivatives with an "AAA"
rating. You need to read some other things than your little pamphlet.

CRA loans have the lowest default rate of any mortgages Tom.

As stupid as you loosing all your assets in risky, questionable investments?
I don't think so!

The GSE business model faces inherent conflicts due its combination of
government mission and private ownership. According to the American
Enterprise Institute, a conservative think-tank: "The government mission
required them to keep mortgage interest rates low and to increase their
support for affordable housing. Their shareholder ownership, however,
required them to fight increases in their capital requirements and
regulation that would raise their costs and reduce their risk-taking and
profitability. But there were two other parties--Congress and the
taxpayers--that also had a stake in the choices that Fannie and Freddie
made. Congress got some benefits in the form of political support from the
GSEs' ability to hold down mortgage rates, but it garnered even more
political benefits from GSE support for affordable housing."[15]

In 2003, the Bush Administration sought to create an agency to oversee
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.[16] While Senate and House leaders voiced their
intention to bring about the needed legislation, no reform bills
materialized. A Senate reform bill introduced by Senator John Corzine (D-NJ)
(S.1656) never made it out of the 21-member (10D/11R) Senate Banking,
Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee.[17]. At the time members of the 108th
congress expressed faith in the solvency of Fannie and Freddie. Congressman
Barney Frank (D-MA), for example, described them as "not facing any kind of
financial crisis." [18]

In 2005, the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act, sponsored by
Senator Chuck Hagel(R-NE) and co-sponsored by Senators Elizabeth Dole
(R-NC), John McCain (R-AZ) and John Sununu (R-NH)[2], would have increased
government oversight of loans given by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Like the
2003 bill, it also died in the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs
Committee, this time in the 109th Congress. A full and accurate record of
the congressional attempts to regulate the housing GSEs is given in the
Congressional record prepared in 2005. [19][20]

Gerald P. O'Driscoll, the former vice president of the Federal Reserve Bank
of Dallas, stated that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac had become classic
examples of crony capitalism. Government backing let Fannie and Freddie
dominate the mortgage-underwriting. They returned some of the profits to the
politicians, sometimes directly, as campaign funds, and sometimes as
"contributions to favored constituents." [21]

I skimmed thru the Traigerlaw report and did not see where it said
that the default rate was lower. Their study showed that the
origination rate remained the same for CRA loans, but that is not
exactly the same as saying the default rate was low.

As I said I skimmed thru the report, but facts about the default rate
did not jump out at me.
