Fanniegate: Gamechanger For The GOP?

This link is a review of Reckless Endangerment: How Outsized Ambition, Greed, and Corruption Led to Economic Armageddon by Gretchen Morgenson and Joshua Rosner. I'm surprised that the NY Times didn't fire her yet.

In 2008, the Royal Bank of Scotland received $84.5 billion As a beneficiary of an interest free RBS student loan I have no ability to repay, I raise a glass of whisky to the fine and perplexingly generous taxpayers of America.

The money has been repaid and the Fed has said its lending programs generated no losses.

That may be true, but as to the hundreds of billions we've sunk into the Fannie and Freddie bailout we'll never see that again.

ACORN, Dodd and Frank should reimburse taxpayers for the cost of the Fannie and Freddie bailout. Along with the Senator from ACORN, who received the most money from Fannie and Freddie, Senator Barky 0Bama.

Well, Obama’s got your answer. He’s going to shower your public schools and other local government offices with money in his current stimulus plan. Then you can further bow to your local, federally funded tyrants. So “main street” services for your masters are about to get more money through the kind of big government that they support for their only remaining customers: government employees.

America needs to produce some useful things—not only “crafts,” junk food, pet psychologists and lottery tickets.
