there’s something to be said for variety and for being good at one specific thing ..

If minority members of Congress could do all that you say Barney Frank did, then the Republicans would be having their way right now. But they are not.

In helping to identify the ACTUAL cause of the economic collpase, I am helping to solve it. By saying “greedy bankers” did it is a severely understated and incorrect identification of the problem. In doing that, you leave the door wide open for unaccountable politicians like Barney Frank to declare a mandate to re-write the financial rules. I never said bankers didn’t share some of the blame for this, but the chain of events all starts with GOVERNMENT intervention in the loan/mortgage market, leading to these severe disruptions in our economy. My goal is to not preotect one political side over the other, it is to correctly identify the real cause of the problem without the rush to judgement and to regulate before the American people can fully digest the ramifications of more of Obama’s “we-better-pass-this-now-or-people-are going-to-be-far-worse-off” phony urgency. Like what happened with the “stimulus” package.

Where’s your evidence?

It’s astounding how you always pin the blame for every problem this nation has on the Democrats, anyone remotely associated with them (ACORN, really?), and the “left-wing”, “liberal” media (as opposed to what, the North Korean propaganda machine?). Yet, when it comes to the Bush Administration and the terrible damage they’ve done to this nation in their eight years of occupation (with the complete backing & support of the Republican party), not a f**king peep out of you.

Do you know who conceived and established this nation, and authored the amazing documents that are our foundation?

People with LIBERAL minds & thoughts!

If you’re not part of the solution (and just bitching all the time doesn’t count), you’re part of the problem. So, pick a side.

Banks were FORCED to make these loans under threats by the Clinton Justice Department in the mid to late 90’s. That was the whole impetus for the creation of the sub-prime mortgage market and the increased involvement of Fannie and Freddie. The funny thing was that ACORN was working both sides of this. On the one hand,they were attacking banks for not lending to these high-risk borrowers, and then on the other side of it they were lobbying Congress to increase the amount of these loans that Fannie and Freddie could buy from these banks, so that the banks could clear their balance sheets and make MORE of them.

Sorry, but the man behind the curtain in this mess is progressive liberal policies and their advocates distorting the loan market with their social engineering. Epic fail.

more people should cancel their cards with positive credit so the banks have to shell the money back then have to look at a lot of people with cancelled cards
