"I think this is a case where Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae are fundamentally sound. They're not in danger of going under I think they are in good shape going forward." — Barney Frank (D-Mass.), House Financial Services Committee chairman, July 14, 2008
Two months later, the government forced the mortgage giants into conservatorships and pledged to invest up to $100 billion in each. __________________ - www.trade4stas.com | Stock trading simulator.

Eat Bush...
We all remember when Republicans were praising outsourcing saying our jobs would "evolve". That's right they evolved all the way to China and India. Thanks a lot Conservatives!!! Bush Economic Report Praises 'Outsourcing' Jobs Slightly old news but even more relevant today. Job loss figures deliver a blow to Bush http://www.guardian.co.uk/uselection...323503,00.html October 9, 2004 "George Bush became the first US president since Herbert Hoover in the Depression to preside over a loss of jobs..." Bush Aides Back Off Jobs Numbers http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/...in600945.shtml The nation has lost about 2.2 million jobs since Bush became president. Bush economic report praises 'outsourcing' jobs http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/04041/271362.stm "The embrace of foreign "outsourcing," an accelerating trend that has contributed to U.S. job losses in recent years and become an issue in the 2004 elections, is contained in the president's annual report to Congress on the health of the U.S. economy." Republicans as usual. Jobs Act Gives Corporations Who Outsource $149 Billion Here's the voting record. http://www.watchblog.com/thirdparty/...es/001239.html "In June 2004, the Republicans in the House of Representatives passed a bill that will give away 149 Billion dollars of your tax money to corporations in the name of "creating jobs"... But nowhere in the bill is the stipulation that in return for these tax breaks will the corporations receiving them must create jobs here in America. Here's the voting record. http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2004/roll259.xml White House Struggles with Jobs Outsourcing Criticism http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...toryId=1675540 The President's top economic adviser, Greg Mankiw, said the outsourcing of jobs overseas was "probably a plus for the economy in the long run." His comments provoked criticism from both Democrats and Republicans, concerned about the number of jobs lost since the President took office." Bush adviser backs off pro-outsourcing comment http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/02/12/bush.outsourcing/ Now, to get back to the question about outsourcing, I think outsourcing is a growing phenomenon, but it's something that we should realize is probably a plus for the economy in the long run," Mankiw said. Bush Econ Advisor: Outsourcing OK http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/...in600351.shtml Mankiw wrote that the movement of U.S. jobs overseas due to cheaper labor costs – "outsourcing" he dubbed it in a remarkable display of political tone deafness – would prove "a plus for the economy in the long run," and was simply "a new way of doing international trade." Students saying no to computer science Cause: Bush doesn't care about IT Jobs -- Supports Outsourcing http://talkback.zdnet.com/5208-3513-...98885&start=-1 So much for American jobs "evolving" eh folks? http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,111287,00.html WASHINGTON — Under new legislation introduced by a group of Senate Democrats on Thursday, American employers would be required to warn their employees and affected communities before moving any jobs overseas. The Jobs for America Act (search) was introduced in response to President Bush's annual economic report, in which he highlighted the benefits of sending jobs to other countries. Bush's Double Whammy on Jobs First Bush killed jobs with bad economic management. Now he's making matters worse by slashing assistance for unemployed and dislocated workers. http://www.ppionline.org/ppi_ci.cfm?...ntentID=251915 Consider the facts: Between 1992 and 2000, with the Clinton administration in charge, the nation's economy generated more than 20 million new private sector jobs. Since George W. Bush took office in 2001, the nation has lost 3.1 million private sector jobs. At this rate, Bush will become the first president since Herbert Hoover to produce a net job loss during his first term of office, and the first since Eisenhower to produce a net job loss over any term of office. No jobs, no home, no money. __________________ '57 Buick Roadmaster 75 |

"It was a story in another forum that some may have found interesting."-survivor
Why would anyone find the garbage u posted interesting?? It's not even about Barney Frank, TARP, Freddy and Fanny. You're in the wrong thread. Since you only copy and pasted, you prolly didn't even read what you posted. But if you were to read it you would find out it is about Outsourcing....... Here's an article about Barney Frank, people might find interesting. http://newsbusters.org/node/8119 "Massachusetts Representative Barney Frank, an acknowledged homosexual, today confirmed that his Washington apartment had been used as a callboy headquarters by a male prostitute for a year and a half until late 1987. Responding to a story in today's Washington Times, Frank said he had hired the prostitute out of his own funds as a personal aide and fired him when he found out what was going on." See Survivor? Barney Frank is like you. |
