What Happened to Market Discipline? by John Stossel | September 24, 2008 http://townhall.co m/columnists/JohnS tossel/2008/09/24/ what_happened_to_m arket_discipline Barack Obama says, "[Today's economic problems are] a stark reminder of the failures of ... an economic philosophy that sees any regulation at all as unwise and unnecessary". What? Does that mean that until last week the Bush administration embraced the free market? Nonsense. Governments at all levels have regulated and subsidized the housing and financial industries for years. Nothing changed under President Bush. The government-backed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were created precisely to interfere with the housing and mortgage markets. In effect, Freddie and Fannie diverted money to people who wouldn't have qualified for mortgages in a real private market... (Thursday Oct 9 | post #3)

Abortion seems to have been forgotten issue in election
Why It Matters That a Fertilized Egg Is Not a Person Ari Armstrong and Diana Hsieh http://www.secular government.us/docs /a48.pdf "Colorado's proposed Amendment 48 -- the ballot measure that would grant full legal rights to fertilized eggs -- would usher in disastrous government controls on abortion, birth control, medical research, and in vitro fertilization. It would violate the rights of real men and women -- based on the faith-based fiction that a fertilized egg is a person with the same moral standing as a born infant. Yet the biological facts of pregnancy show that the embryo/fetus becomes a human person with rights only when born." (Thursday Oct 9 | post #19)

America has never had a free market economy. Maybe now is the time to give it a try. The interventionist political philosophy is what has failed. Socialism is unsustainable. http://timpeck.blo gspot.com/2008/10/ no-bailout.html (Thursday Oct 9 | post #2)

Who Caused the Economic Crisis? October 1, 2008 http://www.factche ck.org/elections-2 008/who_caused_the _economic_crisis.h tml "...The bill in question is the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which was passed in 1999 and repealed portions of the Glass-Steagall Act, a piece of legislation from the era of the Great Depression that imposed a number of regulations on financial institutions. It's true that Gramm authored the act, but what became law was a widely accepted bipartisan compromise. The measure passed the House 362 - 57, with 155 Democrats voting for the bill. The Senate passed the bill by a vote of 90 - 8. Among the Democrats voting for the bill: Obama's running mate, Joe Biden."

For 1996, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) gave Fannie and Freddie an explicit target -- 42% of their mortgage financing had to go to borrowers with income below the median in their area.
