Spence, when the GOP proposed the bill to regulate Fannie and Freddie, here is what senator John Mccain said in support of the bill...

Here was Barney Frank's response to the proposed bill:

"The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing."
