The Foreclosure Scam Is Exploding Before Our Eyes

hat tips - a number of JJP Posters over the past few months.

Do you remember when the mortgage crisis first began, you had the pundits on CNBC and other places had the nerve to try and blame the crisis on loans to minorities and poor people, due to governmental pressures caused by the Community Reinvestment Act. You remember that garbage. Just trying to hide that the 'Masters of the Universe' on Wall Street were gambling, amoral conscienceless thieves.

I'm not an expert. I only know what I read from various sources and what I see on tv. I remember watching Congresswoman Nancy Kaptur on Bill Moyers telling folks in her district undergoing foreclosure to just stay in their homes. It was the first time that I had heard someone say this in all seriousness. That if you were being foreclosed upon, don't give up.

The next big thing that I heard from folks that had their finger on the pulse of this crisis, was to force the banks to PRODUCE THE PAPERS.

Simple concept, isn't it?

Sort of obvious.

To decent people like you and me, and plenty of the people who were getting foreclosed upon across the country. They just knew..

KNEW...

that nobody could be harassing them like the banks were..

or ignoring the letters and calls and please to sit down and renegotiate the terms of the mortgage..

NOBODY could be causing them the ulcer that they were getting..

WITHOUT HAVING THE ABSOLUTE PROOF that they controlled the mortgage..

because to do so would be absolute FRAUD.

...and the banks wouldn't do that. They wouldn't step into court, ready to destroy your financial reputation on lies.....

THE HELL THEY WOULDN'T.

Mr. President, are you REALLY going to defend the Baucus SCAM?

Just asking.

There are 5 different healthcare bills from Congressional Committees.

FOUR OF THEM CONTAIN THE PUBLIC OPTION.

Max Baucus wasted MONTHS of time, to come up with this piece of bullshyt.

I haven't hidden my skepticism of some folks, who have SOLD OUT THE PUBLIC OPTION, wanting to hide behind the bi-partisan bullshyt cloak.

Well, Baucus' sellout ass standing there ALONE, presenting this piece of garbage, was indeed telling.

IF YOU WANT TO SELLOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, you'll have to do it front and center, with no cloak to hide behind.

WHY ask Jay Rockefeller and Wyden to the White House...could it be that the rumblings are true and that the Baucus abomination is in danger of NOT EVEN GETTING OUT OF COMMITTEE......and, where would we be, if the ONLY bills coming of out of committee are...

THE FOUR WITH THE PUBLIC OPTION in them. Where's the cover for the PUBLIC OPTION SELLOUT, if EVERY bill out there - aside from the Baucus SCAM - has a PUBLIC OPTION IN IT?
