Barney Frank on Freddie Mae and Fannie Mac

Congressional Hearing, 2003

“Rep.  Frank: I do think I do not want the same kind of focus on safety and soundness that we have in OCC [Office of the Comptroller of the Currency] and OTS [Office of Thrift Supervision]. I want to roll the dice a little bit more in this situation towards subsidized housing.
And:
Rep. Frank: I believe there has been more alarm raised about potential unsafety and unsoundness than, in fact, exists.

That is the same Barney Frank who is now trying to “fix” the banking system. Last time he rolled the dice, he crapped out.
