Do you think a single member of Congress who supported the extension of these loans will now step up to the plate and acknowledge they helped create this mess?
These are the very same people who today are condemning what went on and act like they had no part in the problem

  "This mess" was created by the BUSH ADMINISTRATION!
  Approaching ONE TRILLION DOLLARS spent on an unjustified war, all of that money borrowed from Asian countries, the lousy value of the dollar which only fuels inflation, throwing money away on no-bid contracts for work that is shoddy or not even completed ... ALL of that occurred during the last SEVEN years.
  When Clinton left office, the annual budget was at a SURPLUS, and the national debt was only 3-4 Trillion dollars. NOW the national debt is NINE Trillion dollars.
  It is painfully obvious that the mess has piled up since January 21, 2001.

    Bubba
    Why is it so difficult to admit that both sides are responsible for this mess?? Do some reading about the Financial Services Competition Act of 1999 that started this housing meltdown. Go see who supported it
    As far as the Clinton "surplus" that was the typical creative accounting used in Washington
    I doubt that you would support what it would take to actually balance the budget
    Are you even paying attention to the spending bills being considered in the Democratic congress right now? Are you seeing any glimmer of fiscal restraint?
    Have you read about the Global Poverty Act which will cost $845 billion over the next 13 yrs?
    Obama is proud of this legislation
    Spare me your concern about the national debt when Democrats are spending as much or more than Republicans
    If we don't get rid of the ENTIRE House and Senate, nothing will change
    Yet people like you will continue to support anyone as long as they have a "D" after their names.
    You are part of the problem
