2003 NYT article shows Bush tried to regulate the lenders, Dems shot it down

Sounds to me like more repubs for rather than against though. Good research.

This needs to be reported on in a nonpartisan fashion.

 

regardless, the gov't should have to regulate this. this whole mess came about with people buying more than they could afford and it shot them in the foot. the housing market was a bubble and it just burst and now the taxpayers have to deal with it

 

A $400 million fine and you say there is no evidence? Why didn't they just blow off the fine, since there is no evidence of wrongdoing? That is a load of crap.There is plenty of evidence of wrongdoing, but congress wanted no action because they are up to their eyeballs in this and that is the only reason people are not going to jail.

It can be listed as an oversight in order to qualify it as a civil matter but to assume that the fraudulent accounting was unintentional is totally moronic. Luckily the majority of Americans fall into this category.

 

Can I have a glass.

 

Sure! What's one 27th of a dollar among friends??
