Dialog With The 99%



The New American has some thoughts on the OWS (is that like multiple owies?).

So it was Wall Street working with government, but the source of the problem was the government. Government started it. That’s how come when I was warning about the crisis back in 2004-2005, begging the Fed to raise interest rates, trying to get Fannie and Freddie out of the mortgage guarantee business, nobody wanted to listen to me.
