The economy in America has officially crashed, followed by similar problems in countries around the world. And, with every dip in the DOW John McCain sees an identical drop in his approval ratings because, somehow, the guy who has never taken an earmark dollar is synonymous with a bad economy. This economy is in trouble because of greedy American citizens, conniving American businesses and both American political parties. Both of them.

Today on Ankarlo Mornings: Ankarlo takes your advice on which stocks to buy. He is thinking of buying GM, which has dropped to 58 year low. Some advise against it and suggest others to consider.
Ankarlo talks the vote on a Friday. It starts with the economy. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last week blamed the Bush Administration for the current economic turmoil. But, the crisis (which started in the housing industry) stems back to 1998. In a video, former HUD secretary Andrew Cuomo talks about a new government program that will help risky homeowners get loans. He even calls it “affirmative action.” So who is really to blame? Ankarlo outlines it.
Louis Farrakhan called Obama the “Messiah.” Ankarlo says this raises more questions about Obama and he is afraid we won’t get answers until after Obama is elected.
Finally, a judge told a woman in Canada to leave her abusive boyfriend or don’t call the police anymore. Is this too harsh?
Audio: Plenty of Blame on Economy
October 10, 2008
While doing research for my show I came across some old audio clips of former HUD secretary Andrew Cuomo talking about giving home loans to people who wouldn’t otherwise qualify except for a little extra government help. Cuomo himself called it “affirmative action.” You can view the video, from 1998, here. He admits the risk of these loans in the piece saying there will be a higher rate of default. The point is that The Clinton Administartion and Congress knew very well that there were risks. But, they thought the risks were worth it. And when I say Congress, I mean both Republicans and Democrats.
There is too much blame here to point to one person. But, you be sure Congress gets some of the blame too. In this podcast I outline the reality of this housing and economic crisis and where it stems from. In addition to the Cuomo audio, Rep. Barney Frank in 2003 said “I don’t see any financial crisis here,” and Sen. Chuck Schumer in 2005 said, “things are good in the housing market. Why are people entertaining radical change?” In 2005, there was a move to provide more oversight into Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but the Democrats thrwarted it with the belief that Schumer was right. Listen to the audio podcast below.
