Dan – So what is your point?
Do you expect one party to do bad things and the other party to do good things?
You could start at the beginning of time and write for the rest of your life.
Who were the culprits that opened pandora’s box (deregulation)? Pubs wrote it Dems modified it in conference to gain passage and Clinton signed it. Who was guilty – all of them!! Worst offender = Gramm
People need to activate when Lindsey comes up for reelection and get him booted. Schumer and Dodd modified it. Schumer will be safe for another 6 years.
While you proceed to provide with some important details missing. The 2003 Freddie scandal set off alarm bells. I see no mention of the proposal the Bush administration presented. Barney as the ranking member was opposed.
Do you have a dog in this fight? Are you defending Barney? I don’t see mention of the bill that Barney introduced with Oxley – the one that he vetoed after he couldn’t have his way with the “goodies” he put in it. It wasn’t a big deal since it was only going to open the lending faucet full bore. Why some history without notes of the history that is missing?
It all stinks and Barney is part and parcel of the whole pack of them!!
I don’t take comfort knowing that Barney is in favor of socialism – that is a big black mark in my book. I like the “Republic” form of government.
