Freddie, Fannie, and Paul

Ok, so my friend Steve sent me a link to a speech delivered by Ron Paul in 2002 (do the math: 6 years ago), where he predicted, nay prophesied (actually, he just used reason, but I like dramatic effect) that a pledge to bail out mortgage giants Freedie and Fannie would result in a fuck-up of biblical proportions.  That’s right friends, Ron Paul was taking names and kicking ass 6 years ago, and NO ONE LISTENED, and HE WAS RIGHT.  You can read his blistering warning on the House website.
