larry,
The Fannie/Freddie bonuses were different. THOSE went to Democrat cronies, and are therefore A-okay. It's only when non-Democrats cash in that it's a problem.

Jeez Rev, how much bs can you try to float ? You say the Republicans will have none of new regulations ? First of all, that isn't true, because Republicans were the ones TRYING to regulate Fannie/Freddie, and Republicans would welcome mortgage loan standards. The Democrats are the ones resisting. Secondly, even if what you say is true, which it absolutely, definitely, 100% isn't, it doesn't much matter what the Republicans say at this point. Democrats run the show.

You can keep trying to say that mortgage loans had nothing to do with the financial crisis if you wish, but you're only making yourself look silly by saying it. Pretty much the entire country knows the truth by now, even if you keep trying to deny it.

And I SAID Fannie/Freddie were taken over by the government. Maybe you should read what I actually write instead of responding only to your own spin.

The Fox premise, according to Alan Greenspan, is wrong. F&F were not the cause of the meltdown.

And F&F WERE fully taken over by the federal government.

As far as new regulations go, the Republicans will have none of it. It's going to take unilateral actions by the Treasury or the Fed to keep stuff in check until the Democrats can get about 63 or 64 senators in 2010.

In the mean time….please, let me encourage as many future Tea Parties as possible. They will help a lot towards that senate goal.

Don't forget the big bonuses paid out about one week after the AIG bonuses. Nary a word, though.
