Can you say Barney Franks should have his nuts in a vice for lying and saying that Fannie and Freddie had were in great fiscal shape?
How about; NAFTA fucked us all?
or; Giving home loans to people on welfare was a bad idea?
F&F were in good shape until they too got into the subprime profit extravaganza.
And it isn't NAFTA where all our jobs are going: That's the North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement, specifically Canada and Mexico. It's all the others that jumped on the bandwagon, with some countries put on the so-called "fast-track" which bypassed Congressional approval completely.
The standards for giving home loans to people on welfare was INCREASED by the Bush Administration's 2004 policy of giving them no-down payment options, and non-conventional loans which provided leaner income-to-expense formulas. The whole purpose of that newer policy was to INCREASE minority homeownership!
Rather than posting AGAIN all the links to the above facts, time to do your own research: Just insert a few key words and voila!
So it seems we agree that both parties screwed us over.
So are you still a member of the DNC?
No, I'm not a "member" of the Democratic National Committee. They're elected. Again, do you ever really know what the hell you're talking about?
But to answer your question, until a Republican comes along that doesn't believe that they all belong in a class all to themselves and attempt to enact laws reflecting that, and instead attempt to do what is RIGHT for ALL Americans to have equal opportunities, and do it without destroying lives of some people who might only be half-way there, then I will vote for a Democrat...because they DO try to consider all of those things.
