Democrats and Obama crush financial options for low-income families
In November, I wrote about how the payday loan industry is being regulated out of business as government know-it-alls determined they were bad for consumers. Regulating the industry took an option away from consumers in need, but as it turns out, the Dodd-Frank credit card reform legislation – effecting more traditional financial institutions – makes…
Read MoreBarney Frank: The capitalists are overwhelming us
I have watched this video three times and I am still not sure what he is talking about. But Olbermann sums it up. It’s like we’re slaves or something.
Read MoreDodd/Frank financial reform…haste makes confusion
The recently enacted Financial Reform bill, brought to us chiefly through the efforts of Senator Dodd (D. Ct.) and Congressman Frank (D. Ma.), was, like much of the handiwork of this Congress, passed in haste. Remember, something had to be done immediately so that we never have another financial meltdown like we just had? This…
Read MoreBarney Frank wants a redo on Fannie and Freddie: That was then, this is now
I watched the entire Neil Cavuto interview last night with Barney Frank and I was stunned. Stunned at how Bawney kept patting himself on the back for being the only one to recognize the weakness of Fanny and Freddie, how he tried to hard to make reforms but was blocked by Bush every step of…

Barney, Barney, Barney …. too much. Barney’s buddy is busted for dope smoking (plus), and Barney … well … he was there … just helping a grieving friend of course. But he wasn’t smoking, nope, nosireeeeeeeeeee. Big hat tip to Hot Air “picks.”
Read MoreYour Neil Cavuto moment – Barney Frank

Read MorePlaybook: Cry racism when minorities do not qualify for mortgages
One of the biggest problems that caused the mortgage “crisis” was lending money to people who could not afford to pay it back. Fixing that problem required lenders to pay attention to income, credit scores, savings habits and debt ratios. Guess what happens?
Read MoreFrank to turn TARP “profits” into personal slush fund
Creep. As politicians were selling the TARP fund to Americans, they frequently let us know the hand outs were not hand outs at all, more of a loan that would be paid back. If we agreed with the grand plan – that needed to be approved today – there was a good chance the American…

I told you this would happen. I warned you.
Read MoreYou asked for it! Barney Frank vs Joel Pollack
Ok, OK … I have had enough. Here it is! Plus, Joel Pollack’s interview with Gretta Van Susteren last night. As I said two days ago, what is so admirable about this is the way, despite the ridicule from a sitting US Congressman, who by the way works for Mr Pollack, he continued to ask his question…
