RW'ers haven't even heard of...


...the Republican bill (signed by DINO Clinton) Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act.

They think this economic crisis was caused by the government "forcing" banks to lend to minorities.

That is how racist stupid FOX News/talkshow followers are.

5. I've worked in social services for 24 years
I've worked with hundreds of poor families, and have never known one to buy a house they could not afford. At best, they buy a sub-standard house on owner financing or rent to own.

I know my experience isn't proof of anything, but it seems like I would have come across it at least once if it was such a nationwide problem.
