We (the people in this thread and on FR) tend to have a broader view of the world than many Americans. There are many voters who think everything is just fine as long as they got a Big Mac and a Coke sitting on the table, and American Idol on the TV. As far as those people are concerned, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are the nice couple that lives down the street.
I know all that and it doesn't detract from what I said.
Senator McCain going to Washington on this is a good thing. When a politician does the correct thing, that politician has a better chance of having a political success.
