MegaVote: GA 13th, 7/6/2010

Our illustrious representative Scott voted for the "Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act", legislation written by two congressmen that bear significant responsibility for our current financial situation. Both advocated, strongly, federal pressure to extend loans to less qualified applicants, that in an effort to get home ownership over the 65% mark. In that incentives were created so that Freddy Mac and Fannie Mae extended risky loans. Intended for the poor, this grew into a housing bubble, middle and upper class home buyers stretched their credit beyond their income. Lots of people lost their homes, many have yet to loose their homes. Then these two cretins blamed Bush and had the audacity to create new legislation designed to correct a problem they helped create.
Add in the thoughtless voting pattern of our 13th district representative, he helps pass legislation that everybody knows won't work. At least now he can says that he tried.
Bullshit.
