No, it would be the law that outlawed sensible lending and borrowing.
Any "law" articulated and pushed by Frank was geared to lowering
CREDIT RATINGS that were so stringently calculated that no one could

That IS a sensible lending/borrowing policy
What you fail to mention is:

b) the Major borrowers were Developers, banks, speculators, and Wall
