Why America Would Be a Much Better Place If the Republican Party Disbanded Today
Paul Krugman:
Gingrich Said to Be Paid at Least $1.6 Million by Freddie Mac: The thing I think people find hard to wrap their minds around is the following non-contradiction:
Freddie Mac was a deeply corrupt institution
Freddie and Fannie did not cause the financial crisis
These are not opposing statements. Those of us attacking the Big Lie about the financial crisis are not defending Freddie.
That said, as a believer in the importance of the humanities, I do have to appreciate Freddie’s appreciation for the uses of historians. At least, that’s what Gingrich says he was paid for.
