I’m usually nicer than that, but honestly! Don’t read any of the articles on FR posted in the last week; don’t go to Investor’s Business Daily, Forbes, or even Fox News’s websites for some intelligent analysis. Just post a thread asking the question de novo, as if this is the kind of site where people do that kind of thing.

Okay, I feel better now.

Well, Tax-Chick, there are some people on Freep who actually testified in the Senate/House hearings on F&F, worked on Wall Street with folks like John Corzine and are really familiar with the CRA/F&F, etc. and are really well-informed. In fact, one Freeper has been quoted in IBD, Forbes, FoxNews, WSJ on the bailout, Fannie and Freddie, origins on the subprime crisis, etc.

Of course, there are uninformed people as well who offer dumb opinions. They are usually found on Daily Kos and in the Senate and House of Representatives.

You're missing the whole point of the post. I understand your consternated view of this vanity, but financial matters always need to be made clear and concise filled with just facts. We got a Brobdingnagian problem our our hands and your worried and someone vanatizing a little so the fact can be posted clearly?

It not about reading FR articles, it's about discerning them. This is exactly the kind of site where people should be posting these sort of things facts.

Well - I’m glad you did it.

I wonder if it’s just a symptom of the election, but the proliferation of self-serving or inane vanities has bugged me over the past year.

I come here for good links with intelligent comments from FReepers.
