The Next Crisis

No truer words were ever spoken. I wish to ask Chris Dodd how this all happened. First, I distinctly remember him back in the 1990's crying the blues for the poor in wallet not being able to afford their own homes. He was a big proponent of CRA and the Senate Banking Committee was instrumental in getting lenders to lend more to the oppressed which resulted in lower credit standards. And everything was going along just fine, especially when he got his sweetheart treatment from Countrywide, until the lower credit standards all of a sudden caught up. I cannot see how that pompous windbag can ask questions of Paulson or Bernake when this mess happened on his watch as Chairman of the Senate Banking Committee. We should all be asking questions of him!
