New Agency Proposed to Oversee Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae
By STEPHEN LABATON
The Bush administration today recommended the most significant regulatory overhaul in the housing finance industry since the savings and loan crisis a decade ago.
/////
''These two entities -- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- are not facing any kind of financial crisis,'' said Representative Barney Frank of Massachusetts, the ranking Democrat on the Financial Services Committee. ''The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing.''

this douchenozzle needs to be voted out in 2010...

Frank is a cunt, but so is O'Reilly.

I like futurama's suicide booth's. Why let people slowly kill themselves over years taking up so much space and human resources when a machine could do it in half of a second with no mess.

J/k I'm not that mean.

The Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act gives the FDA power to ban candy-flavored and fruit-flavored cigarettes, widely considered appealing to first-time smokers, including youths. It also prohibits tobacco companies from using terms such as "low tar," "light" or "mild," requires larger warning labels on packages, and restricts advertising of tobacco products.

It also requires tobacco companies to reduce levels of nicotine in cigarettes.

Good news.

Those tobacco companies do anything to attract the first time smokers, terms like milk and light plus candy flavoured cigarettes is evidence enough.

Your point?  I don't see many complaining that most hard alcohol is marketed to the 20-30something crowd.

Actually, you do see a lot of people complaining about alcohol marketted to children, and as a result alco-pops and lollywater flavoured alcohol has been heavily taxed in Australia to bring up the prices and force young people to have less buying power of those type of drinks.

So feel free to show me where nobody is complaining. Are you living under a rock?

irrelevant.  i have a choice to pay Orly (by watching or not), i cant do shit about frank who gets my tax money.  apples and oranges turq.

And the people of Massachusetts get to choose who gets that tax money. They chose to vote for him, time after time.

I know very little about him, but after a brief glance at his policies he sounds pretty good to me.

surprised.  no rly

But it's not apples and oranges - that's the whole point. O'Reily's salary gets paid because he is popular with a large audience. Frank's salary gets paid because he is popular with a large number of voters.

Where is the difference there? Each gets their money from being popular. Their salary is dependant on public opinion. You personally don't have any control over either of their salaries, but the public at large do, in both cases. So your point is moot.

Perhaps I am living under a rock.  I have never seen any such products in stores around here, although I did grow up before Cigarette shaped candy was too non-PC.  They tasted good, and I don't smoke.

wait a sec...

are you telling me you agree that someone who is a govt official paid by tax payer money who was a huge part of the financial collapse is the same "cunt level" as a talk show host?  come on dude.  i know you know better.

but frank affects the laws in this country directly.  i mean come on.  i dunno.  maybe i am wrong but i dont see them as the same douche nozzle level.
