Didn't like those links I provided... Did you? I repeat..........Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were a minor problem when it came to the Great Recession.

Repealing Glass Steagall had nothing to do with it? That act and Fannie were around since the mid 1930's.. Freddie and the CRA since the 1970's. Sorry on this one FOX and the right wing are very wrong check the vote in 1999.. Related to this Dodd Frank also was the wrong move as we should have just reinstated Glass Steagall. Problem is the power of the WS elite controling both parties, too big too fail got even worse under Obama. Blame the Dems more for this move..

I don't tie myself to any mainstream ideology, either Right of Left. Many people will defend their ideology, and their political patriarchs no matter how bad their personal credibility suffers. They defend the indefensible, and will use lies, and deceit, along with the loss of their greatest asset of all, their personal integrity, to defend their political patriarchs. I respect that and we need more independent thinkers seeing beyond the ideology. But if you think the Liberals are so tied to their bullet points and ideology try posting a bit on a Conservative board. Jeez I made just ONE comment blasting BOTH parties on one of their boards back in April by accident (was suppossed to go private to somebody else) and I got four of my six ignores and a bunch of ridicule.. You and I would be labeled pinko's, libertards, commies, haters of the USA ect... I got to talk to a few privately that are good people though and rational..
