Two 'characters' are essentially and primarily responsible for all

underpinnings of the financial system (Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac) were
increasingly weakened to the point of corrupt, gave no warnings, and
simply sat on their dead asses. The chairmen (Dodd and Frank) of
these committees are leading socialistic members of the US Congress.
This is the 'change' that everyone voted for in 2006; I hope you all
are happy now.

You left Chuck Shumer out of your cavalcade of heroes. He was right there
alongside Barney a few weeks ago leading the cheering section for Fan and
Fred to buy more mortgages.

Wait a minute Dave. Didn't you tell me the gummint had nuttin to do
with the problems?
