What a joke. The Republicans have been in control for how many years?? The Dems finally took the majority less than two years ago, the White House remained Republican, and yet one little housing bill is to blame for the complete and total devastation that has rocked our economy??? Puh-leeze!!

How about the fact that if energy costs hadn't freaking NAILED the typical American family, if rising food costs hadn't freaking NAILED the typical American family, maybe the typical American family wouldn't have had trouble making ends meet and would have been able to actually MAKE their mortgage payments.
