If the Federal government, of which Mr. Frank was a central and contributing part, did not insist that financial institutions make bad loans to people without credit, perhaps this financial meltdown wouldn’t have happened. We will not end our financial problems by continuing to loan money to bad credit risks. It’s a diversion from the role of government in causing these problems in the first place to talk about prosecuting phantoms.

Moses "helped develop many of Fannie Mae’s affordable housing and home improvement lending programs."

They succeeded, but not in the way they planned. Housing is cheaper now, if you have any money. But - wait a minute- now unemployment is way up. Uh-oh!

These people are unbelievable; yesterday Treas. Sec’y. goes before Congress and talks about tax cheats who use banks in Switzerland. Geithner is the same tax fraudster who hadn’t paid his taxes for 5 years. Now, Barney Frank wants to prrasecute all those who caused the meltdown....duh...Barney you $%%%@@, look in the mirror and bring Chris Dodd with you.

They succeeded in exactly the way they planned. They sabotaged the U.S. economy so that they could eventually convert the country to socialism. I think they actually exceeded their own expectations.

Even after everyone was sounding alarms about Freddie Mac and Fanny Mae making questionable loans that you promoted. You still stood there and said: “Don’t worry!...Everythings o.k.”.....And you want to find the culprit?....What? Are you a comedian now?....

The news byline should read, "Congressman Barney Frank will prosecute himself."

Believe me, he would if he could. Oh its says prosecute, not prostitute. Never mind.
