Yes, I've seen that video and similar ones before. I have no problem admitting that Frank's analysis, in hindsight, was off the mark. Yet, that video has absolutely nothing to do with my question to Hugh.
Hugh made the claim that any attempt to reform Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae stalled because Barney Frank, apparently wielding so much power in the House of Representatives, that he alone is to blame for the Republican Party's inability to pass much needed reform. Keep in mind that the House of Representatives passed their version with a comfortable majority, but then similar legislation was unable to even make it out of Committee in the Senate. Those little details are insignificant.
With that in mind, please answer my post this time. What did Barney Frank specifically do that caused reform to fail?
He managed to convince people there was no problem.
Side note: Now he's saying he was always against getting people into their own homes that way, but that he was pushing getting them into rentals. Geez...why do people keep voting for that doofus.
