5:43 am
supported it and many in this body here did, too well what happened then was we had that moratorium and then greenspan comes back ♪ the congress starts asking the questions and in the process he says oh i've made a mistake i'm sorry. now all those people that were evicted during that time before the foreclosures they couldn't do anything about it if you have to you have to starting with a mower to your memory so people will not be evicted and land it preserved so say we have no plan and tough luck that is not acceptable we're trying to build a plan i don't think i want to vote a supervisor that told me different thank you
