The Experts

By Jim Vicevich / February 16, 2009 /

You’ll be stunned to learn that “Frontline” … bought and paid for with your tax dollars … and soon your stimulus money … has reportedly put together a documentary on the economic collapse that will air tomorrow night on PBS. The kicker is the expert list. Only two Congress people were interviewed. Mr. Dodd and…

Democrats and Obama crush financial options for low-income families

By Steve McGough / January 3, 2011 /

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…

Playbook: Cry racism when minorities do not qualify for mortgages

By Steve McGough / July 14, 2009 /

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?

Barney Frank on Religion and Taxing Executive Pay

By Jim Vicevich / March 23, 2009 /

Because he can … and because he’s been thinking about it since 2006. From CBS’ Face The Nation. By the way I am posting this because “I worry.”

Barney Frank wants a redo on Fannie and Freddie: That was then, this is now

By Jim Vicevich / August 19, 2010 /

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…

You asked for it! Barney Frank vs Joel Pollack

By Jim Vicevich / April 8, 2009 /

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…

Frank targets ALL employee pay – not just executives

By Steve McGough / March 31, 2009 /

Not only does Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) want to slander corporate executives by dragging them in front of some stupid committee hearing and confiscate their pay retroactively, Frank wants to have control over all compensation of any employee who works for a company that may have received bailout funding. My question is, will the Treasury…

By Jim Vicevich / February 1, 2009 /

Barney “Fannie and Freddie Are Not A Problem” Frank, noted banking expert and mortgage specialist, explains to Obama adviser George Stephanopoulos how all that money for STD prevention ($335 million) is a stimulus. As a bonus, FFANP Frank explains how tax cuts never saved a firefighter’s or police officer’s job. Only Government spending can do…

By Steve McGough / October 8, 2008 /

Williams has another good column out this week, and it quickly sums up – for those of you who missed it – how this economic crisis started back in 1977 with the Community Reinvestment Act. Walter’s point gets right to the root of the problem. Even though McCain and Obama want to lay the blame…
