Waxman, where are you and your House Oversight Committee?

The presidential election is in a dead heat, so every vote counts. Yet ACORN wants some votes to count more than once. The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, an organization receiving federal monies, continues to be accused time and time again of organizing voter fraud. Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Cuyahoga County, Ohio; central Pennsylvania; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; St. Louis, Missouri; and Washington state all have news stories accusing ACORN of being involved in fraudulent practices.

As noted by CEI’s John Berlau, ACORN has also been sanctioned specifically for misuse of federal housing funds.

    Hopefully, all of this problem would come to an end. Every nation has a goal of providing good things to the people, thus, if this is so, every government must act to fulfill this. Talking about Chairman Henry Waxman, in relation to mortgage lending. The government has been making fast payday loans to enormous credit firms that have run their assets dry. The mortgage and consumer credit giants, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, were given enormous stimulus packages a couple months ago in order for them to stay afloat during the hard hits of the recession. In Washington DC on Tuesday, December 9th, the mortgage firms were subject to a hearing by the House Oversight Committee where they were grilled by Congress over their corporate strategies that led to the near destruction of their companies. What had apparently happened was that the leadership of those companies had invested in mortgage backing for their cash flow. Thinking that it meant instant cash flow, they basically bought other people’s debt, especially when they raised the interest rates on the mortgages that they purchased. Borrowers who had borrowed money from irresponsible lenders started defaulting on their loans, thus, the companies that had bought their debt began to stagger towards the brink. House Oversight Committee Chairman Henry Waxman called their action irresponsible, especially after senior risk managers had questioned the call to make and invest in such loans. This gives us idea on managing our finances. Budget properly, practice smart spending habits, save money, and don’t put money into anything that looks too good to be true.
