Those who tried to warn us.

One of the people who tried to warn us of the errors in the government's economic and housing policies was Peter Wallison.

From the New York Times 1999 (see the article uncovered by Dave Simonds below): Peter Wallison said: ''If they fail, the government will have to step up and bail them out the way it stepped up and bailed out the thrift industry.''

Peter Wallison should be considered "one of the guys who had it right all along". We should be listening to this guy now, instad of Barney Frank and Chris Dodd who appear to be complicit contributors to the problem.
