Charlie Rose - Barney Frank

acomment, politics is the problem never the solution. Politicians and their hacks are ALL liars.

asshole, the CRA issue was blown WAY out of proportion so the Republicans and "independants" aka. libertarians could protect the banks.

Did you know they took the word "gullible" out of the dictionary?

I don't believe anyone can take care of a bank now, that's for sure. But hey I guess the idea that taxpayers can bailout private risk is here to stay. No institution has to worry about taking risks with the government money.

I enjoy reading your prose, brilliant.

Dude, the banks don't create wealth. i don't condone rewarding failures anyways, and banks are not fixing the economy.They don't innovate, they don't create value... they just store and loan money. Which they're not doing after they got TARP anyways. Goldman Sachs instead used that money with their high frequency trading platform to create bubbles, like a ponzi scheme. They got record profits after TARP as a holding bank, but they didn't lend to businesses.
Not good for the economy.

@popmomcorn
become an independant so the independant candidates can enjoy pork and bribes like the first two parties?

YEAH RIGHt DIPWAD.

Barney Frank is a lying conniving asshole. He blames the republicans, yet his HR 4173 is giving the banks TRILLIONS of taxpayer dollars in a permanent TARP situation. So he did exactly what Bush did last year! I don't care about his sexual preference.

BARNEY IS A LIAR AND A THIEF!! Go to hell.

chwebaca 1989 is RIGHT!!!

Barney Frank is a moron

Barney Frank= trying to convince Obama FED should have unlimited, unchecked, unbalanced secretive power. He says otherwise, but listen to his wording of "oversight" statements carefully, he does not support an Audit of the FED!

Frank starts talking all this crap. The FED secretly risks trillions, both domestic and foreign. is unchecked power of FED really necessary?
OUR CONGRESSMEN HAVE THE RIGHT AND RESPONSIBILITY TO AUDIT THE FED!!
