POPSShould Biden Share Blame for Foreclosure Crisis? Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA) “is directly responsible for the rising foreclosure rate since the end of 2005,” concluded a 2007 study by Credit Suisse. The law “increased foreclosures and the number of homes for sale,” echoed a July 2008 study by U.S. Treasury researcher David Bernstein. That study estimated the law had pushed foreclosures or forced sales on 200,000 homeowners since it went into effect, but noted that was a rough, “back-of-the-envelope” calculation… The bill was backed by banks and credit card companies including MBNA, which is headquartered in Delaware, Biden’s home state. MBNA executives had been Biden’s single largest source of campaign donations, and MBNA has employed Biden’s son Hunter as a company executive, lobbyist and consultant. The Obama campaign has said Hunter Biden did no work for MBNA on the bankruptcy bill. http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=5670703&page=1

POPSBlood from a Turnip The city of Milwaukee obviously needs money. If this foreclosure goes through, they can begin to foreclose on may other properties in the same situation. What a way to increase city revenues.

POPSDid Team McCain Fire Gramm? Douglas Holtz-Eakin, McCain's senior policy adviser, on PBS's Nightly Business Report with Darren Gersh, on McCain economic adviser Phil Gramm's comment that the recession was "mental" and that the US is a " nation of whiners ." Kinda makes it sound like Foreclosure Phil's out, doesn't it?

POPSMcCain Adviser: US 'a Nation of Whiners' I'd be completely remiss if I didn't point out that McCain's economic whiz, "Foreclosure Phil" Gramm, has left economic disaster in the wake of his career as a Senator . Enron was largely his fault and the mortgage meltdown has his fingerprints all over it, too. Not only is Gramm a dick, but he's grossly incompetent too boot. Want a supremely effed up economy? Vote McCain.
