Its like Cal Thomas said in his column today - instead of being one of those asking the questions by Congress to Bernancke and Paulson, why wasnt Christopher Dodd and Barney Frank in the witness chair explaining to investigators about their involvement in the whole process of backing the program to give loans to high-risk people and forcing companies not to engage in "red-lining" meaning using a red pen to line their names out as bad credit risks. They ignored all the warnings given to them by the Bush administration and continued to allow Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to "cook their books" while at the same time excepting donations from those entitites and in Dodd's case getting preferencial treatment by the likes of Countrywide.

They should be charged with fraud and removed from office and heavily fined and imprisoned. Instead they will be allowed to preside ove this whole farce that is in no way a guarantee to fix the problem.

This needs to be a reminder to the American people why so many DO NOT want the federal government involved in anything like health care and the like. They have brought this nation almost to its knees and we may still end up there. We need to fight back and take our nation back from these greedy bastards.
