It all begins and ends with Freddie and Fannie. Years of lies and misrepresentations of the financial health of these organizations by Democrats, and their resistance to greater oversight laid the groundwork for a global collapse. They have been operating these agencies on blind faith and have been selling worthless bundles of loans on the world market. The chickens have come home to roost with the democrats. This is not a result of failed Bush policies, it is a failure of the Democrats to heed Bush's warnings about the impending collapse of Freddie and Fannie and the onslaught of global...

"Senator Obama, I'm sick and tired of you talking about the "failed Bush policies". Senator Obama, give me one major Bush policy that the Democrat Congress voted down. Seems to me, you did not defeat a single Bush policy, from FISA, to war funding, to the Bailout package. In fact, i guess you really liked president Bush's policies until you felt you could make a campaign issue out of them."

They cite a lack of regulation of Wall Street and 'greedy" banks that wanted to take on sub-prime loans to somehow increase their bottom line, and then sell them to other banks. The argument against the Democrats that I hear is that Freddie and Fannie pushed the sub-prime loans on banks and, were it not for that policy and the subsequent collapse of Frannie and Freddie, there would be no crisis. My question is: What possible incentive would there be for large banks to take on high volumes...

How much time did the Senate spend debating this $700B BILL? How many experts did they call in to testify? How has the Senate clarified and further defined the bailout program? What limitations and safeguards were added, if any? How many pages of the Bill deal with details about the bailout? How many pages of the Bill deal with Pork? What got more attention from the Senate, the Bailout or the Pork? Does the Senate have any idea as to whether or not this will even work? Did they ask anyone? Who, if anyone, in the Senate has the expertise...
