Win - you would not admit a Democrat committed an evil act if you saw it with your own eyes! You are a perfect example of why only the bond market will force a fix to our mess. You sir are part of the problem - and will never be part of any solution. Good night and good bye. Hitting my head against a wall is not something I enjoy. Bob

How much taxpayer money do you think Fannie/Freddie is going to give their protector Barney Frank in the next few years? With the money they throw around, Barney will be able to buy his own vineyard and pot farm in the land of fruits and nuts.

Barney Frank and his Republican and Democrat co-morons created the atmosphere that allowed this to happen. From repealing Glass-Steagall to encouraging loans to people who couldn't possibly pay them back, to ignoring the danger signs that were loud and clear, to failure to prosecute, to creating serial bubbles, to overspending and over-taxing. It is odd to me that the left which claims that it believes in regulation did nothing to regulate except pass meaningless laws and then refuse to enforce them. Let's face it Barney was a big time culprit in this debacle, but he was hardly alone. lj
