pelosi going to take responsibility? when's barack obama going to take responsibility for the disastrous, disastrous policies that they're forcing down the threats of the american people? it's past time for them to take responsibility. they're not doing it. they're blaming the bush administration. what caused the financial collapse is government, the community reinvestment act, freddie and fannie, poor policy. there's some blame on wall street. absolutely. there's some blame even in main street, main street banks. greed is part of the cause of that, but it was policy that was established by congress under the carter administration with the community reinvestment act, then a reform -- so-called reform -- which made the community reinvestment act essentially forced banks to make loans to people who couldn't pay it back, poor fed policy that kept the interest rates low so that freddie and fannie could set up these no documentation or low documentation loans. that's what created the bubble and the burst. so it's government.
