funny. not only are you very childish, you've now painted yourself into the impossible corner of explaining how the farm bill has anything to do with the GSEs. enjoy.
what an idiot you ... ( 1 month ago by ferrozm)
what an idiot you are. That was not a farm bill at all. The community investment act was the bill that was passed that gave these banks the incentives to give home loans to idiots who could not afford to pay them. Terribly sorry it wasn't the community investment act it was the community REinvestment act. missed by a suffix, oh well my point still remains true.
Whoops, you missed ... ( 1 month ago by colonelmatterson)
Whoops, you missed a suffix. Instead of talking about the GSEs, you contended that the farm bill had something to do with the recent meltdown. Now let me school you, asshat. All statute does not constitute market regulation. Here's another clue, dickhead: the GSEs were not mortgage originators. The *re*-investment act only provided a more robust secondary market so that there would be more incentive to lend period. Without adequate oversight from Congress, they went off course- kbi
I gotta love you ... ( 1 month ago by colonelmatterson)
I gotta love you moronic neoclassical ideologues who think that any market imbalance necessarily has to do with regulation. If your head weren't so far shoved up your ass, you'd think twice before making such a fallacious claim. Goodness! Any bout of destructive financial innovation is because of regulation no matter how far removed! It makes so much sense... you should present your findings to Ayn Rand Institute since it's so bizarre and shitheaded, it'll undoubtedly appeal to them.

People love to rant and rave about how one extreme or the other will save/destroy our country. They're half right. Extremism can and has destroyed many a country's high standard of living, no need to go into history on that one. I can think of no extremist position that has led to long term prosperity for any country or region. A lot of us think that the reckless deregulation of the last 8 years has contributed mightily to the present day downturn. Only compromise will right the ship.
