Frank said he believed that the root of the current crisis was a trend of pushing people toward home ownership who couldn’t afford it.

Can this perp be sued?

A key role to economic recovery would include Frank resigning or being impeached.

It was legislation, not regulation that caused this problem.

Nine of 14 agencies already regulate without accountability these businesses - maybe if a hack lost a job or pension over failure it might stop in the future.

Governments passed laws against banks to force this to occur, want proof, no credit unions were harmed.

thesis, antithesis, synthesis. The Hegelian dialectic, and the basis for Marx's prediction of the inevitability of communismism in Capital.

In case you've forgotten your Marx,

Capitalism was the thesis
Socialism was the antithesis
and communism was the synthesis

Is Frank trying to tell us something about what's going to happen "next year"?

He lamented what he called excessively negative reactions to the construction of affordable rental housing.

Pruitt-Igoe, Cabrini Green, the Rezco rental properties, and many, many more examples. I wonder why the negative reaction, eh, Barney.

The government sponsored and taxpayer paid for rental housing turned into cesspools of roach infested incubators of crime and despair. And the reaction was excessively negative!!! Makes one want to tear their hair out.

He could go live with Franklin Raines in his $7M condo at the Ritz Carlton in DC. Maybe they could start up a high-class escort service out of the hotel.

Every time I see a picture of Frank on TV or in the papers I try not to look thinking of where his mouth has been....

The two faces of Barney Frank? I guess he really does believe that over half the people in this country are stupid and they all voted for Obama.

This problem did not start with Reagan. It started with FDR’s creation of Fannie Mae.

What a sick, morally bankrupt Congress we have, that would actually allow such a bloated, sexually deviant pervert to oversee our nation’s finances. No wonder we’re screwed.
