    Which started hitting it's stride in 2015 when the Republicans took back the Congress and when into overdrive when they took the White House. Let's not forget Obama had given up on it with his "those jobs will never come back".

    uh, that was the congressional voting record for those bills, that REPUBLICANS killed. They killed every single attempt from 2001-2007. It's right there in the historical record of the US congress, lol. There's no getting around that.

    Facts you can't refute but do keep saying it's false it only shows your lack of knowledge about the historical record.

    There was no recession until a year after the Democrats took back the Congress, FACT. They took the Congress in January, FACT, the recession didn't start till the following December, FACT. Prove that wrong.

    Obama's $800B stimulus was supposed to hold unemployment to 8%, FACT Refute it, what did he say it would hold it to? Geez Obama even admitted it failed are you claiming he was wrong.

    Already refuted it, it was the Democrats who refused to vote for Republican efforts that would have ACTUALLY fixed the problem.

    I quite literally gave you the voting record for those bills, showing republicans killed every single attempt from 2001-2007, lol.



    TIMELINE FOR FANNIE/FREDDIE REGULATION 1995-2006

    No legislation to further regulate GSEs is passed by a Republican-controlled Congress.

    October 7, 2004

    The House Financial Services Committee Chairman Michael Oxley (R-OH) cancels a markup on legislation to reform GSEs at the request of President Bush. According to CBS Marketwatch: "Strong opposition by the Bush Administration forced a top Republican congressman to delay a vote on a bill that would create a new regulator for mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac."

    May 25, 2005

    The House Financial Services Committee, under control of House Republicans and Chairman Oxley, passed a GSE Reform bill, H.R. 1461, by a vote of 65-5. Every Democrat on the Committee voted for the bill. Five Republicans, arguing that the bill did not go far enough, voted against H.R. 1461: Reps. Ed Royce, Ron Paul, Tom Feeney, Jeb Hensarling, and Scott Garrett.

    July 28, 2005

    The Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee, then chaired by Sen. Richard Shelby (R-AL), passed S. 190, the Bush Administration’s bill, out of Committee. The bill was passed by a party-line vote of 11-10. The bill did not reach the Senate floor for a vote.

    October 26, 2005

    On the day the House was scheduled to vote on H.R. 1461, the Bush Administration issued a Statement of Administration Policy opposing the House Republican GSE bill.

    October 26, 2005

    H.R. 1461 passes House by a vote of 331-90, with 122 Democrats voting in favor. Note: Frank voted against the bill when it reached the floor, but not because of any opposition to reforming the GSEs, but because the Republican leadership decided to cut out funding for faith-based charities that provide low-income rental housing from the Affordable Housing Trust Fund.

    September 2006

    Oxley and Frank send a bipartisan letter to Senator Shelby urging GSE reform. Many Democrats and Republicans signed this letter urging the Senate to act.

    January 2007

    Democrats take control of the House and Senate; Barney Frank is named Chairman of the House Financial Services Committee.

    March 28, 2007

    The House Financial Services Committee passes H.R. 1427, the GSE reform bill, by a vote of 49-15. The legislation had the support of the Bush Administration and represented a tougher bill than the 2005 effort. Incredibly, 19 Republicans opposed the bill.

    It's not a complete representation of the facts. It was prepared by Democrats in an attempt to avoid blame. You want to dispute it was prepared by Democrats?

    Note the link in the Google results:

    Care to comment on the facts presented in the US News article I linked to?

    Democrats Were Wrong On Fannie Mae And Freddie Mac


    "Much if not all of that could have been prevented by a bill cosponsored by John McCain and supported by all the Republicans and opposed by all the Democrats in the Senate Banking Committee in 2005. That bill, which the Democrats stopped from passing, would have prohibited the GSEs from speculating on the mortgage-based securities they packaged.

    ....Don't the American people deserve to know that Democrat Barney Frank, then ranking member and now chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said, "I want to roll the dice a little bit more in this situation towards subsidized housing"? Isn't the fact that the ranking Democrat in charge of oversight of Fannie Mae was in a sexual relationship with a high-ranking Fannie Mae executive a glaring conflict of interest? Isn't it worth noting that Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters insisted, "we do not have a crisis at Freddie Mac, and in particular at Fannie Mae, under the outstanding leadership of Mr. Frank Raines"? Shouldn't the American people know that Democratic Rep. Gregory Meeks insist that "there's been nothing that was indicated that's wrong with Fannie Mae"?

    If nothing else, shouldn't we salute Democratic Rep. Artur Davis for saying, "Like a lot of my Democratic colleagues I was too slow to appreciate the recklessness of Fannie and Freddie. I defended their efforts to encourage affordable homeownership when in retrospect I should have heeded the concerns raised by their regulator in 2004. Frankly, I wish my Democratic colleagues would admit when it comes to Fannie and Freddie, we were wrong."

    Waaaaaa.......more proof that good news for America is bad news for Democrats. They don't care about jobs, only abortion, class warfare and pandering to phony victim groups.
