The thrift supervisor, however, has not referred a single case to the Justice Department since 2000, the Syracuse data show.

“I told John, ‘This is what any police chief does if he wants to solve a crime,’ ” Mr. Gnaizda said in an interview. “John was uninterested. He told me he was a good friend of Mozilo’s.”
Hey you can't charge the crook because we are friends. Wake up people, the government is redistrubting the wealth from middle and lower class to the banks and corporations. It is government supported thievery and both parties are guilty. it's not me you need to convince of this, I've been saying the same thing for awhile now.. sure, I blame much of the transfer on the (R) side of the aisle because they are bold and utterly open about it, but they can't do it all without help from the (D) side of the aisle.. how can they do it so boldly though, like with the Ryan plan, and still have so many middle/lower class people following and helping?
But the larger question I am batting back and forth with is, is what side is Obama batting for? This far into the game I should know by now, but I don't. I tend to think the problem is that since the (R) are so far to the extreme in sending our wealth over to the corps,banks, and already wealthy that when he finally does capitulate, it's to the right of anything we'd ever see a real liberal agree to, because by that time, it's somehow become 'moderate'
I just don't know if thats giving him too much credit or not..
