CNN Brings the Paul

Commentary: Bailouts will lead to rough economic ride

"the government's preferred solution to the crisis is the very thing that got us into this mess in the first place: government intervention."

Now pay close attention to this next statement. Most people are afraid to say it.

"Laws passed by Congress such as the Community Reinvestment Act required banks to make loans to previously underserved segments of their communities, thus forcing banks to lend to people who normally would be rejected as bad credit risks."

And then, a plan of action.

"It is time this process is put to an end. But the government cannot just sit back idly and let the bust occur. It must actively roll back stifling laws and regulations that allowed the boom to form in the first place.

The government must divorce itself of the albatross of Fannie and Freddie, balance and drastically decrease the size of the federal budget, and reduce onerous regulations on banks and credit unions that lead to structural rigidity in the financial sector."


BRING THE PAUL!
