  9. Actually caused by Clinton policies financial crisis of 2008 was partly attributed to policies implemented during Bill Clinton's presidency. Clinton's Housing and Urban Development (HUD) secretary, Andrew Cuomo, introduced new regulations under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) that rewarded banks for making home loans in "credit-deprived" areas, effectively lowering down payments from the traditional 20% to 3% by 1995 and zero down payments by 2000.64 These changes encouraged banks to relax lending standards and issue loans to high-risk borrowers, contributing to the subprime mortgage market's expansion.
