January 25, 2008 (LPAC)--Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) finds fault with the only solution to halting foreclosures -- a federal moratorium. But it is Frank's assertion that federal authorities don't have jurisdiction over foreclosures, made at a Jan. 24 Capitol Hill press conference on his 2008 agenda, which is faulty.

Specifically, Frank said, "The notion of a federal moratorium on foreclosures, I think, does not work," according to Politico which covered the event. Frank added that federal authorities do not have jurisdiction to act - i.e., it's not constitutional - clearly referring to Hillary Clinton's call for a moratorium, the leading plank of her campaign on the foreclosure crisis, and to LaRouche's HBPA, which is experiencing a groundswell of support in city and state governments across the country.

So where does Frank's opposition to the only constitutionally sound, FDR-styled solution to aid millions of Americans who face foreclosure come from? Frank also told the press that he's supporting Sen. Chris Dodd's idea, floated by Dodd on Wednesday, "to create a federal entity to buy distressed mortgages from investors and modify them into more affordable loans for homeowners, as well as a separate plan for the government to buy foreclosed homes and get people into them," writes Politico.

But who runs Dodd? Felix Rohatyn, the fascist financier dedicated to the destruction of the U.S.A. In the 1970s he led the banker's takedown of New York City, earlier he worked with George Schultz to impose the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet on Chile, and in 2005 he personally directed the shutdown of America's auto industry. When publicly asked in 2006 whether he'd support an FDR-style federal program to save the economy, the synarchist banker said, "No!"

Lyndon LaRouche, when briefed on Frank's lie that a foreclosure moratorium was illegal, said Barney would now be known as the "notorious man of evictions." He also wondered what Frank's sister, Ann Lewis a long time aide to Clinton, might have to say on such a broadside against Hillary's initiative.

If Congressman Barney Frank and friends were to stop wasting time stimulating themselves, they might come to understand the Constitution.
