BuffaloBill Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 When asked what he wants to hear from the CEOs during the hearing, the Massachusetts Democrat told Reuters "that they understand how angry the public is and how important it is that going forward that you use any additional federal funding in a very constructive way." Duh ... Barney is loving the limelight right now. What's sad is that nobody in congress has a clue where all the TARP money has gone and where the remaining funds will go. The banks themselves do not have a good handle on their balance sheets right now.

finknottle Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Barney Frank is one of the biggest problems in Congress. He is not just wrong, he is dangerously wrong, and being put in charge to the solutions. Unfortunately, in this political climate we have a huge uphill battle in trying to convince the public of this. Posters like 'The Senator' only sully what should be a serious argument with their infantile obsessions.

I'm sure there will be hours worth of questions on Basel II capital standards and how that contributed (caused) the mess. You know, the type of stuff that House Finance Committee should know like the back of their hands.

Seriously? She really may be the dumbest person in Washington, and thats saying something. I mean...wow, just wow...talk about bat-sh*t crazy... Post of the day: House hearings are generally a life-negating experience for reporters, far more so than crisper Senate hearings, because the representatives use all their five minutes of questioning time on a populist soapbox, squandering the time they should be spending asking actual questions of the witnesses, who might actually know something. That is what is happening now. It is beneath us to sum up the tortured “question” being asked right now. Suffice it to say it takes a full two minutes for the questioner to say, “we are here today to talk about lending.”
