The F and F problems were a result of financial failures (specifically, but not only in regulation and oversight) that had become systematic long before they ran into trouble.

Try again...

Defending your Democrat friends again?

Obviously you know nothing about the financial world.

Fannie and Freddie were at the very heart of the meltdown.

But you'll only LOL! and ROTFL! me, so I know I'm wasting my time on you.

Not so on all counts.

What did I say about Democrats? Fannie and Freddie aren't political entities, you do know that, I hope...

I obviously know more about the financial world than you do, since I know that the base line problems go back to at least the 1980's.

I've never posted a LOL or a ROTFL....

and I have no problem with you stopping "wasting your time" on me... or anyone here. It really is all you're doing.

What did F and F do to "put themselves at the heart" of the meltdown?

User,

Myself and Rowdy were discussing how much money the "red welfare states" receive from the federal government.

The next thing I know, she's talking about "per capita GDP", and THAT is why NY and CA pay so much more in federal income taxes.

Don't ask me what one has to do with the other, it's her delusion.

Shame on me for discussing it with her though.......

+ report abuse + permalink

Mainly because you were YAPPING about how much INCOME TAX New Yorkers pay and then you posted a wikipedia page showing home much GDS New York produces....AS PROOF OF HOW MUCH INCOME TAX YOU PAY....

When you're so STUPID that you have no clue that there is NO RELATIONSHIP between INCOMETAX AND GDP or GSP....

And it's STILL irrelevant to the conversation that we were having.

Yes, they were at the heart of the matter. They're more akin to a valve than a ventricle or the aorta.

Well, just because you never saw it, doesn't mean it didn't happen....there's videotapes of it all over the place and I found it, but I'm not surprised you didn't because you weren't looking for anything except something singing, shouting, or screeching praise Obama!

So you should have NO PROBLEM with posting that link, correct?
Posted by hungry1968-15 at 9:06 PM : Jun 14, 2009

I don't save every link to every article, Hungry, I suggest you go out and find it....LIKE I DID!

" This is akin to a woman spending $1,000 on clothes and shoes - and justifying the expense by saying she 'saved' $100 because of all the great deals she got."

I don't get it either. It just seems like you're regurgitating far right terrorist, word salad rhetoric.

I said Alaskans were within 6 points of producing the same amount per capita as New Yorkers.

Alaska...actually produces as much per capita GDP as New York does


Posted by IThoughtItWasFunnyAgin at 8:46 PM : Jun 14, 2009

So is it the same or more? Is more the same as same? Or is same more than more?
