Have we not had enough of this guy? I am talking about Barney Frank, a representative in the U.S. Congress. This guy has been busy lately trying to get favorable publicity for himself, and it appears that much of the media supports him in this effort. For example, several days ago I recall seeing him on television; he was sitting high up behind a raised platform during a congressional committee meeting which was being held to investigate at least some portion of the existing financial crisis; he had no compunction at all in expressing himself and asking questions. And according to this very recent report, Barney Frank has no problem in publicly stating that he is in favor of more taxes, more welfare-type programs, spending more “government” money on health care, and cutting military spending by at least 25 percent. In other words, this guy is a demagogue of sorts who insists that he will use our tax money to “help out the ordinary citizens”. (My quotes.) What a bad man he is, this Barney Frank.
Barney Frank is a bad man, not simply because he is an outright liberal who wants to spend your tax money the way he sees fit, but especially because he himself bears major responsibility for the financial crisis ! For those of you who are not aware of that, you can read this article and also this article. In addition, this blog post gives some further information; note the irony uncovered in that post – in a couple of days Barney Frank is to be awarded the NH&RA 2008 Affordable Housing Vision Award in Boston. That post includes some absolutely incredible statements made by an NH&RA executive, “incredible” given the sources of our financial crisis. Worth the read. (NH&RA is the National Housing & Rehabilitation Association.) Finally, a previous blog post of mine also lays out the case against Barney Frank. This guy is a truly harmful and bad man; he is a disgrace to this country. Enough with the attempts to show this guy in a “good” light with any kind of publicity !
This guy has been a member of Congress for over a quarter-century. Shame on the citizens of Massachusetts who have repeatedly elected this harmful and deceitful man.
This guy (Frank) is a loose cannon. What is wrong with people in MA.? This country is in BIG trouble because of people like him and many others like him. What is with all the giveaways? Frank is selfserving and is only interested in his economic welfare therefore he promises the lower end of society everything in order to get their political support . He gets to keep his job. This is the problem today with a majority of the politicians. They are not working for what is best for the whole country
