“Dubya” tried to tighten the laws to stop this in 2003. Botox Pelosi & Co. KILLED it in committee. Wanna talk about Socialist loan programs to people unable to repay?
Oh, Alexus, you beat me to the line. And Machado…did you not read my response the last time you posted that nonsense about the supposed “reform” bill of 2003. Besides, if my memory serves correct, the GOP had control of the entire legislature back then, no?
”And Machado…did you not read my response the last time you posted that nonsense about the supposed “reform” bill of 2003. Besides, if my memory serves correct, the GOP had control of the entire legislature back then, no?”
”I think the responsibility the Democrats have may rest more in resisting any efforts by Republicans in the Congress or by me when I was President to put some standards and tighten up a little on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.”
Oh, Machado, there you go again. You now, having been slammed on the NYT article (how dare I quote an entire paragraph from the article you posted), now you want to go to Clinton. Don’t try to get me to stand up for the do-nothing congress (of course, the Republicans did everything to make sure that was the case); I believe they should have shamed the republicans into submission. But if you want to go back, why not go back to Reagan, and the whole “let’s not have any rules for the economy” movement. What about the Keating Five? How far do you want to go back.
As far as the SEC bill goes, I will look into that. I am not afraid of the truth, while you have not even acknowledged that the NYT article you posted directly contradicted your claims.
