Unique position in that they can still claim to be private companies, but they have the government to print money for them to stay afloat.

Spence, do yourself a favor and read Jimmy's initial post so you won't look so ill-informed when you start responding with your lib talking points.

Just because you have a thing for Barney Frank doesn't mean you have to defend him to the end.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
