You keep making that assertion. I'd like to see you document and
quantify it. I think your proportion is off by an order of magnitude
or
so. Show good accounting and I'll accept it.

From various published sources:


It's really meaningless posting partisan scribblings.

I prefer facts and graphs showing facts.

Perhaps you have actual facts showing the private market role in the
"sub-prime crisis" was not as depicted in the above link.
Probably not.

Finding a scapegoat and laying all the blame on the scapegoat is not the
mark of a reasonable person.

There are many reasons to consider Franks a certain form of scum.
But to use him as a scapegoat to exonerate all the other the real
"culprits" reeks of a mindless partisanship.
And yet you continue.
It doesn't work.
