Aw that was too easy for you. Let me make things a bit more difficult, because you're dealing with JUAN MOTHERF*CKING BOTTOM.
Barney Frank was never caught paying a hooker $20,000 a month to live with him.
Being a closeted gay himself:
He hired a former gay prostitute to work as a driver/housekeeper/general aide. He paid him with his own money, not the governments money. The hooker later lied after being fired and tried to start a bidding war for his false "sex scandal story," but a house investigation found Barney Frank innocent.
In response to Barney Franks work with Subprime Mortgages:
In 2003, while the ranking minority member on the Financial Services Committee, Frank opposed a Bush administration proposal, in response to accounting scandals, for transferring oversight of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac from Congress and the Department of Housing and Urban Development to a new agency that would be created within the Treasury Department. The proposal, supported by the head of Fannie Mae, reflected the administration's belief that Congress "neither has the tools, nor the stature" for adequate oversight. Frank stated, "These two entities ...are not facing any kind of financial crisis ... The more people exaggerate these problems, the more pressure there is on these companies, the less we will see in terms of affordable housing."
Frank was criticized by conservative organizations for campaign contributions totaling $42,350 between 1989 and 2008. Bill Sammon, the Washington managing editor for Fox News Channel, claimed the donations from Fannie and Freddie influenced his support of their lending programs, and said that Frank did not play a strong enough role in reforming the institutions in the years leading up to the Economic crisis of 2008.[51] In 2006 a Fannie Mae representative stated in SEC filings that they "did not participate in large amounts of these non-traditional mortgages in 2004 and 2005."[52] In response to criticism, Frank said, "In 2004, it was Bush who started to push Fannie and Freddie into subprime mortgages, because they were boasting about how they were expanding homeownership for low-income people. And I said at the time, 'Hey — (a) this is going to jeopardize their profitability, but (b) it's going to put people in homes they can't afford, and they're gonna lose them.'"
The New York Times noted that the Federal Housing Administration's crucial role in the nation's housing market, providing low-down-payment mortgages during the crisis of 2007–2010 when no mortgages would otherwise have been available, "helped avert full-scale disaster" by helping people purchase or refinance homes and thereby putting a floor under falling home prices. However, due to the tighter flow of credit from the banks, total FHA loans in 2009 were four times that of 2006, raising concern that year that if the economy were to dip back into recession, more Fed funds could be required to keep those loans afloat. Frank's response was that the additional defaults — 2.2% more of the total portfolio in 2009 than the year before — were worth the economic stabilization of the broader policy, noting "It was an effort to keep prices from falling too fast." In that context, he opined, "I don't think it's a bad thing that the bad loans occurred." In fact, the unprecedented number of loans made since 2008 were noted to be performing far better than those in the prior two years.[66]
So there you have it that Frank did not receive "boatloads of cash" even though the opposition tried to paint it that way. It's actually odd how little money he got considering his own level of power.
He also opposed the white-house's attempt to steal oversight of the mortgage industry.
Finally, Barney Frank vowed to not retire until he fixed this mortgage crisis/problem, and he kept his word. But I'll let you google that.
Basically it's insane to claim that the one gay-married guy in Congress doesn't care about other gay couples at all. It's also quite unfair to blame him for stuff that he was proven to have played no part and other stuff that never even happened.
Caught it.
