Who’s to blame for the subprime housing bubble? A popular answer – especially on the right side of the aisle - is Massachusetts Democrat, Barney Frank.

Why?

The argument, best summed up in an Investor's Business Daily editorial published in March 2009, goes like this: "Starting in the early 1990s," Rep. Barney Frank "(and other Democrats) stood athwart efforts by regulators, Congress and the White House to get the runaway housing market under control." It goes on to say in, "2002, Frank nixed reforms" of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and that in 2003, "led by Frank, Democrats stood as a bloc against any changes" that President Bush proposed making to Fannie and Freddie.

It’s gonna be hard to run as an incumbent in 2010. Barney must be feeling the heat.

“Subprime” lending was never the culprit until the government got into the game.

[KC_Conspirator]

Barney Frank is very much culpable for the housing and lending mess. In any other world he would be charged with fraud.

Fannie Mae is responsible pushing 100% loans on the public.

Barney, Dodd, the DNC, and Obama himself along with ACORN and many others. This thing is not an accident...it was manufactured, and they are traitorous, treasonous scum. They should all be in prison.

It appears there are a number of people who take an all or none position on the sub-prime question. But any amount of bad debt contributed by the sub-prime helped sink the ship. Therefore the question is: how bad would the crisis have been without the sub-prime debt which some people (Edward Pinto) say totals in the trillions? I’m not an expert, so I don’t have all the answers. But I find it difficult to believe that bad sub-prime loans which many banks were forced to agree to didn’t have a very big and bad part in the disaster.

Bawney Fwank.... always caring about the confidence voters have placed in him to make the right decision....

[evad]

It’s not 100 per cent fudgepacker Barney Frank’s fault but it’s close

Yup, the packer has more than his share of blame for the fiasco.

But, not to worry Bwaney, the sheep don't know the facts, the squishy middle is tto stoopid to figger it out and the rest don't care.

You're safe.

it was lending against insufficient equity or down payment.

I suspect a distinction without a difference. If you lend money to folks who, statistically, are unlikely to pay it back, you'll likely get stiffed. And... that caught Barney's attention!

[gorush]

They know that...two generations of public education and leftist control of the media has prepared the electorate for the marxist takeover that nearing it’s final stages.

[April Lexington]

Liberals are like the French. They will NEVER admit personal fault. It is always... circumstances, someone Else’s fault, a mere coincidence, etc. But, admit fault and take personal responsibility? NEVER!

Oh, you are a bad, bad girl. :-))
