Blame Canada

http://moonbattery.com/?p=7246

[shrike]

Canada escaped Bushy-Boy's housing bubble due to sane banking policy. Pretty good for a "socialist" country.

[Cytotoxic]

Why is a housing crisis caused by policies preceding Bush "Bushy-boy's" housing crisis. Psst Canada had higher interest rates and fewer regulations on this kind of thing.

[R C Dean]

Do the Canadians have government subsidies and underwriting of mortgages? If not, then I think you've got your answer on how they escaped the housing bubble, right there.

[Querulous Yellow]

No mortgage interest deduction in Canada.

[John]

Don't confuse shreek with facts and reality.

[shrike]

Bush pumped the bubble up. See the American Dream Downpayment Act and his HUD policy which distorted the market. He even pissed on GSE reform by killing the Fannie Mae downsizing act (HR 1461)

[John]

It was Bush that did that not paid FAnnie and Freddie cronies and Friends of Angelo Dodd and Frank. Bush tried to scale back Fannie and Freddie and make them solvent and Dodd and Frank killed the effort saying "there is no problem here".

[shrike]

That is pure Rush (King of the Rednecks) Limbaugh lies. Bush killed a GOP bill called the GSE Reform Act which Oxley (R) sponsored and passed the House.

He PAID $10,000 to each applicant with no money for a mortgage.

http://archives.hud.gov/news/2003/pr03-140.cfm

you are so busy sucking Bush's cock that you don't know what "small gov" means.

[John]

Go to Youtube and you can watch Barny Frank slapping down the Bush Administration saying there is nothing wrong with Fannie and Freddie. Barney's former boyfriend made millions from Freddie. So did Jamie Gerlich and a ton of other Dem insiders.

Jesus Shrike, you would let Dems rape your mother and still claim it was a Republican plot.

[John]

Jesus Christ Shreek, take your meds. That was a 200 million dollar program. Do you honeslty think a 200 million program created a multi trillion dollar housing bubble and the hundreds of billions of dollars in loses at Fannie and Freddie.

That is even dellusional for you.

[shrike]

The point is that Bush did everything he could to pump up the housing bubble and Barney Frank did NOTHING.

(oh Barney SAID FNM/FRE would be OK - big fucking deal)

[John]

When he knew it wasn't, while his buddies were making millions from it. And he prevented anyone from doing anything about it. Frank and Dodd are total crooks. Dodd got a sweetheart mortgage deal in return for getting the regulators to leave Countrywide alone.

But lets not talk about that. Lets talk about some penny anti housing program Shreek.

[shrike]

You cannot stop. Confronted with evidence you parrot redneck AM radio talking points which have no bearing in reality.

Keep going - you fucking Big Gov Bushpig asshole.

Iraq = brilliant!

Medicare Part D = Genuis!

NCLB = great for students!

You fucking slime.

[The Obama]

What evidence you fucking moron? Keep changing the subject to medicare part D and Iraq after you have your ass handed to you.

YOu are so stupid I sometimes feel sorry for you.

[PapayaSF]

Shrike is partly correct that Bush and the GOP contributed a bit to the problem. Their hands aren't totally clean. They went along with the left's call for government intervention in the housing market. But Fannie and Freddie and the CRA and much else were Democrat creations and fiefdoms.

[shrike]

Again I am reminded that this place is filled with Bushpig conservatives.

Point out his Big Gov policy and assholes run out to defend him! Fuck you, asshole. Fuck Bush and Big Gov and the whole GOP you cling to.

[wareagle]

shrek,
is it pathological among liberals that every malicious truth they dislike is a Rush-ism? The Senate in 05-ish tried to reform F&F; the measure went along party lines in committee, meaning it would get nowhere on the floor. The CRA dates back to Carter and was reinvigorated by Clinton.

[Anonymous Coward]

is it pathological among liberals that every malicious truth they dislike is a Rush-ism?

Sometimes is a "Beck-ism," or so Tony told me when I explained how progressives championed eugenics, including supporting both abortion legislation (mainly to keep minorities from breeding), and anti-abortion rhetoric (race suicide was the greatest threat to America, according to Teddy Roosevelt).

[DesigNate]

But he was just trying to get more poor people into houses. Isn't that what liberal douchebags like you wanted?

[shrike]

Fuck you. I am a goddamn secular capitalist. I hate Big Gov. Like Bartlett I know the Bushpigs fucked us over and I will NEVER vote for a fucking GOP asshole again.

[John]

So instead you will vote for Democratic assholes out of your commitment to small govenrment. You are nothing if not consistent in your insanity.

[DesigNate]

If you're a secular capitalist why the fuck would you vote for Obama, or any Democrat for that matter? Not saying you should vote Republican instead (I sure as hell won't).

[Jeffersonian]

Bush's policies were a continuation of Clinton's. Either way, they were statist, as is your pal Obama's, whose balls you yearn to suck. So fuck off.

Frank, Dodd, Waters, Bennett, Bond...all ran interference for Fannie and Freddie, the proximate cause of the crash.

[shrike]

Total fucking lies.

The GSE Reform Act PASSED. How did they "run interference"?

Go back to Free Republic, you dickhead.

[wareagle]

hating big govt but voting for Obama is a bit like the battered woman who defends her assailant. If you were actually a secular capitalist, you would want nothing to do with either party.

[shrike]

Both parties are Big Gov. The GOP is marginally bigger.

[Copernicus]

I don't think I like your tone of voice.

[Jordan]

Canada escaped Bushy-Boy's housing bubble due to sane banking policy. Pretty good for a "socialist" country.

False. http://globaleconomicanalysis......le-in.html

[Mr. FIFY]

Shrike's just upset because Obama isn't socialist *enough*.

[rts]

It's OK for the left in the US to bash us (Canada) now that we have a Conservative government. TEAMs know no boundaries.

(Even though our Conservative government would be considered rather to the left if it were a national party in the US.)

[KP]

Ironically, our banking system is far less constrained than that of the "Free Market" US one, yet the right hate us too.

Paul is in a position to treat the TSA they way many want to. Trouble is, most folks put up with the bullshit because they need to get on the plane they're trying to reach, not the one four hours later.

[TrickyVic]

Yeah.

""Is the TSA looking at flight manifests? Are we researching those boarding the planes? Are we targeting or looking at those who might attack us? Apparently not,""

What does he mean by "research those boarding"?

He doesn't seem to be opposed to a high level of scrutiny as long as they do it behind your back.

Mohamed Atta from Saudi is a little more likely to be hijacking a plane than Hazel Jones from Iowa. Diversity kills. 9/11 proved that in spades.

Arabs are white.

[TrickyVic]

""Mohamed Atta from Saudi is a little more likely to be hijacking a plane than Hazel Jones from Iowa.""

But would Mohamed Atta from Philly be more likely?

[PapayaSF]

More likely than Hazel, sure. Unless Hazel is a convert to Islam.

[TrickyVic]

And how do you know unless you have access to her email, facebook account, browser searches, doctor's visits, and historical GPS data?

[TrickyVic]

When people talking about "risk" based approaches on anything, they fail to realize that amount of data agencies will want to determine risk. Unless it's the government talking, then it's code for give me all your information. Since the government likes to go overboard, they would want access to any data element collected in any database.

[wareagle]

the govt already has all manner of data and it chooses to molest 95-year old terminal cancer patients, little kids, and sitting members of Congress. Senators may do wacky things but they are far down on the likely-to-be-a-terrorist list.

Congressional Black Caucus: African-Americans would 'march on the White House' if Obama wasn't black

http://dailycaller.com/2012/01.....snt-black/

[R C Dean]

So, how does this not mean that blacks are racist?

[Anonymous Coward]

Some of them are. And unfortunately, they've been led to believe that it is okay for them to be.

[PapayaSF]

No, no, no, you haven't gotten the word from the scholars of racism and diversity, who have a new and convenient definition of "racism": it is impossible for minorities to be racist, because racism is what majority whites do to minorities.

[Rich]

the chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus ? told The Daily Caller that African Americans won't "march on the White House" over the high unemployment rate in the black community because President Barack Obama is black.

Huh?

[John]

I am friends on facebook with a lot of my neices and nephews. They friended me not the other way around. Can't tell you why. But they did. We talk music a lot.

[Auric Demonocles]

That doesn't answer the question I have...

[John]

You can see other people's friends. And my one nephew is friends with almost exclusively young women his age and every single one of them is hot. I really have to give the kid credit.

[Episiarch]

What in what you just said indicates that your nephew is hitting any of that?

[John]

He seems to be hitting a lot of it judging from the various posts. And they certainly seem to love him, so he is hardly picked on.

[Auric Demonocles]

Damn your speedy fingers! If only mine weren't so tired from holding up this deep dish!

[Auric Demonocles]

Okay, so the answer to my question (which I guess I needed to be explicit about) is that you don't actually have any idea. He just knows a lot of hot girls.

[John]

He might just know them. But I don't think so.

[cynical]

In the biblical sense, is what you're saying.

[John]

He might just know them. But I don't think so.

[EDG reppin' LBC]

He might be giving them style pointers? Or he helps them when they go shoe shopping? Maybe he is an excellent hairdresser? All I'm saying is Chaz Dean probably has a lot of hot girls that "friended" him on Facebook.

[Warty]

What's the point in knowing hot girls if you don't pound them? Even a stupid little teenage shit understands that.

[Auric Demonocles]

Oh, he's totally trying. That doesn't mean he is successful.

Canada escaped Bushy-Boy's housing bubble due to sane banking policy. Pretty good for a "socialist" country.

Imagine that, a country that has fewer banking regulations has bankers who behave more responsibly.

There are many areas where Canada (and many other countries) are much less socialist than the US. Even the US under that wild cowboy capitalist Bush.
