Thomas Sowell is a Conservative. So why should he?

Politicians get away with this to the extent that we gullibly accept their words and look to them as political messiahs.

A shot across Obama's bows?

>>where income and debts were fudged.

Income, Debts, and FICO scores.

>>From there, the banks sold off the loans as fast as they
>>could,

Hence the falsification of FICO scores I observed at Argent Mortgage (Ameriquest’s Wholesale arm).

Why? My guess is FICO score is the only number of interest for Asset backed securities composed of “Liar Loans”.

It was the aggregate FICO score the ratings agencies based their determination upon; and so FICO would make the difference between AAA and Junk status.
