Why are we putting the spotlight and raising our ire
Even though someone else created the problem, this problem is bound to take serious political overtones when millions of families are driven out of their homes during an election year. Sen Dodd is not a bit player; nor are the leading contenders for the highest office. For populism, they might try something thoughtless and endanger the whole financial system. Our nations creditors have lost/ are going to lose hundreds of billions of $. Anything that makes us look even less trustworthy stops the inflow of capital. If you think we have problems now, read what happened to Russia, Brazil, Argentina when creditors lost faith. These boys (and a girl) are playing with matches. The voters should tell them not to start fires.
