The Fanny Mae & Freddy Mac debacle is Barney Franks fault

He ran the committee that oversaw it, and had friends working for these entities and benefiting. That's the SOB that needs to be brought before the Senate, censured and frog-marching off Capital Hill. Fanny Mae did he invent that name, sounds like a gay prostitution ring.

Fannie Mae was regulated by HUD.

HUD's Regulation of Government-Sponsored Enterprises

I'm pretty sure HUD is a branch of the executive, not Congress.

I'll let you two partisan hacks fight over the details, I was only pondering how much culpability the chair of the House Financial Services Committee beginning in 2006 could possibly have.

I'm not going to chronicle all your past posts - but all of them that push the pass the buck on a single party is partisan.

What is your point? His bio lists him as the chair beginning in 2006. Is it wrong?
