Fixed it for you.

Don't ya think it's kind of silly to put all of the blame on Fannie/Freddy? Where do you get your news?

can't rep you, but keep it up. There was a time (when I sold real estate) you could only buy what you were qualified to buy and there were strict guidelines.

SLCPunk is totally off base on this one!!!

Does that mean Chuck Grassley is an Iowa liberal? Reports are that he's leaning toward voting "yes" too.

Blowhard partisans rather spew misinformation to rile people up then discuss the matters truly at hand.

In addition those uneducated in economics (those who listen to other blowhards) have a difficult time grasping the events that lead to the financial crisis. They only point fingers at the opposing political ideology.

We all know there were many factors that led to the crisis. It was not only Wall st bundling the bad loans. Many of the said loans were not created by Wall st firms.

What it proves is absolutely nothing. Just a way for the media to stirrup a controversy for some ad time.

when will you get over the illusion that the reps and dems are different?

As it pertains to Scott Brown, in Mass. anyone to the right of a dead Kennedy is considered conservative.

When I heard Feingold's political ad this weekend and he said he defends Wi and Washington is not happy with him, he is voting No to this bill because it's not progressive enough. I knew a Rep was voting Yes to the bill. It's how Feingold operates, if his vote is needed to pass it, he votes Yes, if it not needed he votes No. That's how he operates, then brags to Wi he is on their side. JERK!!!!!!
