Gingrich’s Plan To Stop Foreclosures: Repeal Wall Street Reform

You have to repeal the Dodd-Frank bill, because the way the Dodd-Frank bill works, it dramatically, regulates the banks, it sends a signal to the regulators to tell them not to make the loans, not to roll over the money, and in effect it encourages foreclosures and encourages the bank actually seizing the property. So until you repeal the Dodd-Frank bill, which I think the House Republicans ought to do this week, I mean this is a terrible bill which is killing housing, it is killing small banks, it is killing small businesses, and it ought to be repealed. The minute you do that, literally, the minute you do that, it’s going to be easier for people to work their way out, you’ll have a dramatic decline in foreclosures.
