Thanks so much for the link to hiredhand's excellent post, rockinqsranch.

Hiredhand, my hat is off to you for all of the painstaking research that was involved in your post -- I especially appreciate your citing how many times the administration, and individual republican legislators, attempted to make Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac more accountable, and the fact that the democrats stopped those efforts in their tracks each and every time.

How many voters do you suppose are aware of that little piece of recent history? I would estimate 1 in 100.

Best to you both in these troublig times ...
