chunga1 -- yah, it's all about those quotes (back before that then c. $1.5T of outstanding obligations had mushroomed to the c. $5.3T outstanding at the time of the triumphant recent nationalization of Freddie and Fannie) -- why, those damned Democrats! -- how dare they not see the future!
never mind that that ENTIRELY REPUBLICAN-CONTROLLED CONGRESS, which did not need EVEN ONE Democratic vote at ANY point in the process in EITHER chamber to accomplish what ITS OWN REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION had asked it to do, DIDN'T git 'er done
and never mind that things may or may not have turned out any differently had the proposed new agency been put into place -- things still would have depended on whether that new agency, to which dubya would have appointed precisely the same sort of hopelessly incompetent and/or shamelessly corrupt political hacks and cronies he's stashed in all federal agencies since he 'took' office ( http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=32085270 and preceding and following; http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=32155421 ), would have actually done anything differently -- or necessarily even could have as to the worst of it -- would a Republican-passed bill at that time have undone the key little Phil Gramm goodies referenced in the item in http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=32270331 ?
