**** This is just too good not to share - a classic. **** In a bid to stem taxpayer losses for bad loans guaranteed by federal housing agencies Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac, Senator Bob Corker (R-Tenn) proposed that borrowers be required to**** make a 5% down payment in order to qualify for a loan. **** His proposal was rejected 57-42 on a straight party-line vote because, as Senator Chris Dodd (D-Conn) explained, "Passage of such a requirement would restrict home ownership to only those who can afford it." **** I can't add anything to this, I just can't.**** **** **** **** **** [image: http://www2l.incredimail.com/gcontent/stamps/new2011/pixel.gif?upn=603980510028134355] **** **** **** **** **** **** **** __._,_.___ __,_._,___ -- -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
