Very true - both D & R have blame here -— but please give credit where it is due, and place the bulk of the blame where it belongs, too.

Bush and McCain BOTH made repeated efforts to address this, but they were blocked by Congress. Those two were not the only Republicans who were sounding the alarm. My memory is pretty dim about this subject, but I believe that even Sen.Snowe supported McCain in this effort to rein in Fannie.

Unfortunately, it only takes 40 Ds + RINOs to block this legislation, and they easily had enough votes.

Read the articles again: the reforms were stopped by a filibuster threat
