Kevin Hassett, director of economic-policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute, is a Bloomberg News columnist. He is an adviser to Republican Senator John McCain of Arizona in the 2008 presidential election.
If you really want to annoy the libtards, point them to this quote from Barney Frank, in opposition to greater oversight of Fanny and Freddy, September 11, 2003:
"These two entities -- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- are not facing any kind of financial crisis," said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. "The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing."
And then just say, See this whole mess is a simply welfare program gone wrong!
Didja see this? “Senator John McCain’s campaign manager was paid more than $30,000 a month for five years as president of an advocacy group set up by the mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to defend them against stricter regulations, current and former officials say.”
2 million bucks to make sure that they had access to McCain!
Of course since it appeared in the NYT we can dismiss it outright as leftist propaganda. When we say it’s propaganda, you can be sure it is. When the libtards dismiss something as propaganda, it’s cause they simply don’t like the message and are too stupid to see its accuracy - right?
Their loss.
They can check out every fact asserted in the article. It’s easy to do so.
If they want to remain ignorant, otay.
Hassett was just on Dennis Prager’s program and said he has already received 100’s of nasty messages. No substance to refute what he has written—just nastiness.
