Current Mood:  |  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. | |

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