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 ...

You are WELCOME! I'm glad it helped. I was "fuzzy" about the details after first watching that video, so I watched it again, and it made me MAD. Then I watched it again, and took notes! That PDF IS my notes!

I don't think many people are aware of the details. I surveyed people where I work, and not many were aware. In fact, only ONE that I talked to even knew about part of it!
