The Story
Barney Frank
Democrat Congressman Barney Frank is interviewed for this film, but for some reason the filmmakers failed to ask him about his failure to oversee Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which despite his insistance they were "just fine" will cost US taxpayers between $221 and $363 billion.
They also "forgot" to ask him why the financial reform bill he co-authored in 2010 with Chris Dodd allowed Fannie Mae's operators Jamie Gorelick (yes the same Jamie Gorelick whose bungling for the Clintons led to an intelligence failure that built a wall between agencies to keep from sharing information about terrorists before 9-11) to keep her $26.4 millio and Franklin Raines $90 million while allowing Goldman Sachs to keep $12 billion from the AIG bailout.

Chuck Shumer
For some reason the filmakers failed to ask Democrat Senator Chuck Shumer why in 2003 when Repulblicans on the Senate Banking Committee wrote a bill to tighten regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac every single democrat on the committee voted against it. They also forgot to ask him why in 2005, Shumer introduced a bill allowing Fannie Mae to buy up even more bad morgages, claiming the republicans opposed to the bill of being against affordable housing.
