RUSH: Now, we\u2019ve got a couple Barney Frank sound bites here. He\u2019s always good for a couple sound bites. We thought about getting a Barney Frank translator in here but that would sorta destroy it. I mean, I can do it myself but sometimes it\u2019s better to leave Barney Frank un-translated. He was on Tavis Smiley\u2019s show, PBS, last night, and Smiley said, ‘What did you do today relative to low-income housing?\u2019<\/p>\n

FRANK: One of the causes of the terrible crisis we had over the last few years, which has given us today\u2019s problem, it came from people being pushed into buying houses —<\/p>\n

RUSH: No!<\/p>\n

FRANK: — taking homes that they couldn\u2019t afford.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Stop the tape. Who did that? Who pushed them to buy houses? Who pushed them? Who told these people (unintelligible) that they could buy (unintelligible) in there? It was you, it was Barney Frank and Bill Clinton, you pushed these people, you called the banks, you told them they should live in them when they couldn\u2019t really afford it. You did. (unintelligible) You did yourself, and now all of a sudden these people were preyed upon. Here\u2019s the rest of his answer.<\/p>\n

FRANK: It was a conservative view that rental housing was a bad thing. I have been trying to continue programs to build descent rental housing.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What?<\/p>\n

FRANK: What we had were in people in power who didn\u2019t like that, and they said no, no, we\u2019ll help them become homeowners.<\/p>\n

RUSH: What?<\/p>\n

FRANK: People were pushing home ownership who shouldn\u2019t have been there. We have now, in Barack Obama, a president who understands this. But if you are low income in America, if you\u2019re poor, you probably are not going to be able to afford a home.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Obama understands it? He\u2019s keeping \u2019em in the houses! We\u2019re paying the mortgages! It\u2019s called bailout or foreclosure to keep the bank from foreclosing on people with mortgages (unintelligible). Obama said they should not have been homeowners. Obama\u2019s ACORN forced them to be homeowners, Mr. Frank. This is unreal (unintelligible). I can\u2019t keep a straight face listening to this. The rest of the bite.<\/p>\n

FRANK: I met with a group of people today who are very responsible advocates for building decent, affordable rental housing.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Unbelievable. So now all of a sudden to hell with affordable home ownership being you own it, now affordable housing is you rent it, and then Travis Smiley sitting there like the dunce that he is, ‘I\u2019m glad you\u2019re on the case,\u2019 said Tavis Smiley, ‘but how does that lead to home ownership, because you can\u2019t tell me that you want to sell folks short on the American dream.\u2019 Now, this ought to be good.<\/p>\n

FRANK: I don\u2019t want to sell them short. I want to recognize, though, Tavis, that they may come up short. Pretending people can do something they can\u2019t do is no favor for them. I wish we could do something about income inequality in America, and I\u2019m for that. I would like to get better education all up and down the social sphere so people can earn more money. I\u2019d like to bring down the cost of housing. But the point —<\/p>\n

RUSH: It\u2019s come down! The cost of housing has collapsed, Mr. Frank, you have succeeded: the cost of housing is so bad that it\u2019s destroyed people\u2019s equity in their homes, it\u2019s destroyed everything, it\u2019s at the root of the problems in the housing crisis. (unintelligible) You want to see housing prices come down, you made it happen, you made it happen, and Tavis Smiley sits there, yes, yes, yes. This is why we produced this song about you, Mr. Frank, because you\u2019re the architect of all of this. The song is you singing Banking Queen because that\u2019s what you are. <\/p>\n
