What Kind of Fools Are These?

The Obama administration is starting a “crackdown” on lending institutions that are “redlining.” Translation, they are now again forcing lenders to loan money to people who cannot afford to pay it back The very thing that CREATED this economic disaster in the first place, and which was PASSED in a Democrat-run Congress and signed into law by a Democrat president (Carter), then strengthened by yet another Democrat president (Clinton) in another Democrat-controlled Congress. It was Clinton’s attorney general (Janet Reno—you know, the butcher of Waco among other things) who threatened them with “investigations,” which meant that even if nothing was ever found it would cost them MILLIONS to defend themselves. Why they’re doing it now, I don’t understand. They successfully used it to create a “bloodless coup” and take over the government. But what can they gain now, except the gratitude of the people who benefit from it, in the next election? (Bloomberg Businessweek)
