Ya they were originally repealed to make it easier for everybody to buy a home.

However, there were bills sent before Congress in 2001, 2003, and 2005 to put back stronger regulations which could have helped avert some of the crisis we're in now.

Those bills should have been passed and in mho a thorough investigation needs to be done to find any personal gains derived from the nay voters.

There are alot of suspects out there.

I wonder what Senator Spector is doing now , maybe he has time to look into this or maybe the people of the USA need to get the FBI involved since the government certainly won't investigate themselves

Obama, if nobody shoots him, will be only a one-term president. He's not going to have resources to do much of anything. Things are not going to turn around in four years, and he'll be assuming all the blame by Jan 21.

I'd like to know what the bills actually proposed before I'd agree they should have been passed.
