There is nothing new being revealed here. Voters will go to the politician who makes the biggest promises regardless of the costs to the productive class. Reading Atlas Shrugged should be mandated but with the state of today's government schools just reading is a challenge. I no longer fear for my country, for my country no longer exists. I weep for my children and grandchildren. Voters are stupid. There is nothing new being revealed here.

I no longer fear for my country, for my country no longer exists. I weep for my children and grandchildren.

In fact, it's premised on the opposite idea that banks should not discriminate against people who are creditworthy, based on the neighborhood in which they live. It's a law that says banks have a duty to serve all communities equitably - within the bounds of safe and sound banking principles. READ THE STATUTE.

George Bush gleemed at the fact that the average person could "own a home" and share the american dream. What we now know is that process of lending was based on fake money, fuzzy math. This is a run away train that nobody dared to stop, resulting our current crash. It is time to pick up the pieces. While we blame both parties for this crisis, it is clear that hard working americans are sick of wallstreet, Enron style corporations, the financial industry, and the far right economic policies.
