"Fannie/Freddie and the Dems, aka Barny Frank and Harry Reid created/aided this meltdown."
Oooh! Someone drank the koolaid. Why don't you look up Li's Copula formula and see how that relates to how financial institutions invested capital the since about 2000 and you get back to me. See, because obviously unregulated financial institutions investing huge sums of money worth many times over the actual GDP of the fucking planet into highly leveraged capital that their analysts got all wrong had absolutely nothing to do with it.
It was two government backed mortgage firms, poor people and two democrats brought the fucking world to it's knees. When you get closer to reality you send me a postcard.
- I read about that on the plane yesterday. Very interesting insight into the whole mess.********
- I agree in part with what your saying here. HOWEVER, YES, Fannie/Freddie, Gov and poor are much to blame.********
- Blame? They were canon fodder. But you probably blame the privates for the general's bad strategy...TheBlueOne

I love it...Wall Street fleeces Americans out of trillions of dollars.
Sinks the entire global economy with their deregulated securities which they got rich on.
All this while they are still raising your credit card rates.
But Get Refresh thinks some Mexican guy picking blackberries in a field somewhere is to blame.
- If you attack blackberry bushes, you attack The Street. If you attack the street, you attack the American Peopleslocustsloth

Cognitive dissonance is an uncomfortable feeling caused by holding two contradictory ideas simultaneously. The "ideas" or "cognitions" in question may include attitudes and beliefs, and also the awareness of one's behavior. The theory of cognitive dissonance proposes that people have a motivational drive to reduce dissonance by changing their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors, or by justifying or rationalizing their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors.[1] Cognitive dissonance theory is one of the most influential and extensively studied theories in social psychology.
Dissonance normally occurs when a person perceives a logical inconsistency among his or her cognitions. This happens when one idea implies the opposite of another. For example, a belief in animal rights could be interpreted as inconsistent with eating meat or wearing fur. Noticing the contradiction would lead to dissonance, which could be experienced as anxiety, guilt, shame, anger, embarrassment, stress, and other negative emotional states. When people's ideas are consistent with each other, they are in a state of harmony, or consonance. If cognitions are unrelated, they are categorized as irrelevant to each other and do not lead to dissonance.
A powerful cause of dissonance is when an idea conflicts with a fundamental element of the self-concept, such as "I am a good person" or "I made the right decision." The anxiety that comes with the possibility of having made a bad decision can lead to rationalization, the tendency to create additional reasons or justifications to support one's choices. A person who just spent too much money on a new car might decide that the new vehicle is much less likely to break down than his or her old car. This belief may or may not be true, but it would likely reduce dissonance and make the person feel better. Dissonance can also lead to confirmation bias, the denial of disconfirming evidence, and other ego defense mechanisms.

ukit:
The bill that ultimately repealed the Act was introduced in the Senate by Phil Gramm (Republican of Texas) and in the House of Representatives by Jim Leach (R-Iowa) in 1999. The bills were passed by Republican majorities on party lines by a 54-44 vote in the Senate[11] and by a 343-86 vote in the House of Representatives[12]. After passing both the Senate and House the bill was moved to a conference committee to work out the differences between the Senate and House versions. The final bipartisan bill resolving the differences was passed in the Senate 90-8 (1 not voting) and in the House: 362-57 (15 not voting). Having majorities large enough to override any possible Presidential veto, the legislation was signed into law by President Bill Clinton on November 12, 1999. [13]
