“Nothing succeeds like failure.”

The political class has perpetuated itself into a state of absolute corruption as a Governmental Religion.

It seems, in the Clown Universe greatness is always bestowed upon the activities of the bunghole brigade; when it’s everyone else, just too bad…

What just happened to the economy had basically nothing to do with the CRA. Basically, Wall Street got greedy, ran out of “crap” to sell, so they bundled new forms of crap. Government sat on its butt and let it happen. Here are three links. The first two by Wall Street insiders who tell how the deal went down. (Including the “Wall Street ran out of crap” part). The third are the 25 people most to blame for meltdown.

To SteveI ... I picked up on this early this morning too, Steve. I believe the Examiner had a good piece on it. It was easy to write about, because people should already have the research done on it from the “last time.” How we can make the same mistakes in this country again and again ... and then just for good measure ... even again ... is beyond me. I hope people learn more about the first CRA and how the “good intentions” of it led us to this most recent financial disaster. Good post, you are right on. When Frank brought this up there should have been overwhelming laughter ... but alas, Dems don't seem to learn from their mistakes.

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and getting the same results. The only cure for this is to clean house and vote all of these bozos out of office. The problem with that is many Americans would rather watch the latest “reality’ show on TV than take time to research candidates and support and vote for one that could really help this country.

And did we ALL contact our Representatives and urge them to vote NO?

Barney will want to be sure the new undocumented loans are made out of the bedroom of his Capital Hill apartment, plus a bonus kiss.
