Thanks for your concise and easy to understand post. Slow careful reform is the way to go. We can’t undo this mess with more Barney Frank crap, more ‘Obama’ dollars(our money), and bigger bureaucracies. We can’t undo it overnight either. It is going to take careful planning and step by step approaches.
You are welcome.
I know I am guilty of sometimes letting the warming flush of debate over power the true goal of clear honest communication. Because I know that limitation to a forum such as ours, I sometimes like to see if I can come late to the table and summarize my understanding of a complex issue and boil down our disagreements to specific choices in future policy.
Our big issue is that the government created entities, those proposed in Democrat remedies and larger entities such as Fannie and Freddie are reserved by that party for use as political instruments and they therefore will not put their existance and form on the barganing table in any honest reform measures. They use them as staff banks and cash cows for their freinds and themselves when out of office (see Frank’s “partner’s job with one) and they use them to serve as policy tools for leftist goals. They can murder our economy every ten years and they will never bargin an ounce of their weight.
With that limitation, honest reform is impossible while they hold politcal power. They must be put into the minority — nothing else matters until that happens.
