Wasn’t it changes to the “Community Reinvestment Act” made under BillyBob (before he lost control of the House) that required lenders to give a mortgage to everyone with a pulse...or else? And IIRC Attorney Corporal Reno announced, more than once,that that went double for “the most vulnerable among us”.

Barney must be terminally ill or something. Of course he admitted during a Townhall meeting that Obamacare was merely a stepping stone toward the goal of Canadian-style single-payer (socialized) medicine — so he does sometimes have his unguarded moments.

Did he mention that his boyfriend was an executive at Fannie Mae while he was on the House Banking Committee, which had jurisdiction over it?

He means SINCE he left office. WHILE he was in office, congress as blameless.

“Barney Frank Fesses Up: Barney Frank Shares Blame For Financial Crisis”

Thanks for telling the truth Barney, but it’s 3 elections too late.

But the former Boston lawmaker was quick to claim he wanted to build affordable "rental" housing for the poor, not encourage low-income Americans to buy homes, and bucked the government's homeownership drive.

"I've been critical of that," Frank insisted. "Homeownership is a good thing (but) it should not be the way that poor people build up equity."

It's nice to see he's still a self-absorbed, shameless, lying piece of human garbage. .

DUH !

The fact that that sorry piece of excrement holds political office serves as a formal declaration that we no longer have a functional government.

I’m shocked that Bwaney admitted the obvious which he and other “progressives” have been so anxious to deny.
