Barney Frank, a liberal congressman and trailblazer for gay rights, dies. He was 86

Years later, as Congress prepared to pass a massive tax overhaul package, Frank intended to vote “no,” opposed to the bill’s lowering of top tax rates. He changed his mind, however, when he worked out a deal boosting affordable housing tax credits.

Which lead to the housing and bank collapse of 2008.
