Barney then and Barney now
Barney Frank in 2005: ‘I will continue to push for homeownership’
Hey, remember this? Good ol’ Barney pushing homeownership for everyone and shrugging off any claims of a ‘housing bubble’. What bubble, silly? Everyone is entitled to a house (even if they can’t afford it), amiright? WHAT
Fast-forward to April 20, 2009:
Barney Frank in 2009: ‘The crisis caused by people being pushed into buying houses they couldn’t afford, which was a conservative view’
Whoa, whoa, whoa, Barney! What just happened there?! You said you were pushing for rental housing? Is that when renting means owning? That’s it, you said you were pushing for homeownership but you really meant renting. Got it. WHAT
Barney is magical, I tell you. Laser eyes and the ability to rewrite history are two superpowers I want now!
