		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m fully on board with blaming Democrat lawmakers in Washington for contributing to the mortgage crisis that started with Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Republicans introduced legislation that would more closely regulate the government sponsored entities (GSEs). Democrats &#8211; including Barney Frank (D-Mass.) &#8211; blocked that legislation, all but calling those asking for the changes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As I walked through the living room just now, I heard talk of a 4.5 percent fixed rate mortgage on Fox News. Financial industry lobbyists are knocking on Hank Paulson&#8217;s door at the Treasury Department with a plan in hand to lower interest rates to help &#8220;stabilize&#8221; the housing market. Will everyone be able to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Citibank is a big bank, one of those companies that are just too big to fail. When the government steps in to help a single bank &#8211; like Citibank &#8211; with an infusion of $20 billion in cash and more than $300 billion in loan guarantees, you&#8217;ve got to wonder how Citi&#8217;s competitors feel about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Early this week, I wrote about how corporate leaders were changing their business plans to take advantage of government handouts. Everyone is getting in line, and you really can&#8217;t blame them for doing so. If they don&#8217;t come and ask for the cash, someone else will.
Word from Malkin that a local department store is asking [...]]]></description>

Not only would this level of federal involvement in these institutions be unprecedented, it would actually dramatically change the way everyone did business.

Here is part of the story from today&#8217;s Hartford Courant.
Gov. M. Jodi Rell announced a plan Thursday to help maintain [...]]]></description>
