NCLC put out a paper that makes the argument that many of the subprime perpetrators escape state laws because national banks were recently put outside of state jurisdiction.
A quote from NCLC:
"It rebuts the claim that reversing preemption will alter 150 years of banking tradition; gives examples of how preemption has hurt consumers; and responds to industry arguments about the nightmare that reversing preemption will cause
It includes new charts showing that in 2006, 32% of subprime loans, 40% of alt-A loans, and 51% of the toxic payment-option and option ARM loans – a total of $700 billion in 2006 alone – were made by national banks, federal thrifts, or their subsidiaries who were immune from state laws."

Tell Congress
New laws should be put in place that end government support for companies becoming “too big to fail” and instead support jobs.
