Oh yeah, and how did he manage to cause the massive distrust between the banks last fall so that credit virtually froze?

I'm no expert on Frank, but I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt that he didn't cause all of that by himself!

Frank was one of the leading proponents of 'creative financing' and a believer that every American has the RIGHT to home ownership. He played a very large role in the crisis.
