After everything that Chis Dodd has done and been directly involved with, including receiving insider, VIP loans from Country Wide, I find it inconceivable that this man is still in charge of the Banking Committee. It has been shown that Senator Dodd played a key role, along with his counterpart in Congress, Barney Frank as they FORCED banks to loan money to individuals who, under some sort of "Fairness Doctrine', had no business buying homes. We are guaranteed, life, liberty and THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS... But we cannot guarantee that everyone who owns a home can afford the mortgage.
I feel that Dodd and his relationship with ACORN and other dubious organizations must be taken into account very seriously as we consider any legislation that this man is promoting, particularly after the animals have stampeded and now we are looking to close the barn door?
I am dubious of Dodd's proposal, which may have good points inside but I am trying to understand what brought him to this "OMG MOMENT"... If he was doing his job properly I believe that the mess we are in may never have happened, or if it did, it would have been of far less magnitude.
I believe that our system is still the finest on the face of the earth, but once corrupted by influences such as ACORN or an administration or party that steers us into a socialist model, a bill like this is not worth the paper it is written on.
Those in any industry who do things that are against America and Americans in an illegal or immoral spirit should be punished and barred from such practices going forward. I find it sadly amusing that Mr. Dodd at this point, as I stated before, after perhaps the most terrible collapse in our financial history is offering such a proposal .
Also, for one who has been an insider at the highest levels for decades Dodd's actions, knowing what he knew and what was happening behind the scenes, is guilty of MALPRACTICE and dereliction of duty to all Americans. WE THE PEOPLE will be paying the price possibly for generations to come! You want to know one of the reasons that I decided to answer this emergency call for Connecticut first and America always?
This was one of the issues that solidified my decision to run.... The career country club politician that Dodd is the poster child of... And continues to be, in the face of all the injury to our economy that his actions have caused takes my breath away. This is a parting scam, no doubt his last great drink at the public trough! I suggest that we let him sail off into the sunset and get on with repairing the enormous damage that he and his kind have caused....
