This is why voters are angry
I am genuinely puzzled by the bewilderment of people like Dan Rodricks who do not understand the anger of voters and the source of that anger ("At long last, it's time to cast our votes," Nov. 6).

Calling Obama on his lie: Bush tax cuts did not cause the economic crisis
"Now Gov. Romney believes that with even bigger tax cuts for the wealthy, and fewer regulations on Wall Street, all of us will prosper. In other words, he'd double down on the same trickle-down policies that led to the crisis in the first place." --...

KAL cartoon got the causes of the economic meltdown all wrong
Cartoonist Kevin "KAL" Kallaugher's highly-slanted cartoon about the economy got the causes of the ballooning deficit and financial collapse all wrong (June 3).

Political Notebook: Congressman Frank rallies local Obama group
U.S. Rep. Barney Frank is not running for re-election this year, but he has an idea for a bumper sticker his fellow Democrats can use in their campaigns: "We're not perfect, but they're nuts." The joke, one of several jabs the Massachusetts Democrat took...

Fannie and Freddie, not banks, deserve blame
In its editorials and Dan Rodricks columns, The Sun continues to emphasize and underscore the big lie that banks or "predatory lenders" were the cause of the housing crash ("What took so long?" Jan. 26). "Predatory lending" is a term of relatively...Tags: Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac
