Matt Taibbi | Is Obama’s ‘Economic Populism’ for Real?

Is Obama’s ‘Economic Populism’ for Real?

My first thought, when I heard about this deal, was that Schneiderman was deciding to compromise on robosigning and other post-securitization abuses, in exchange for a mandate to go after the much bigger crimes, which took place in the origination/securitization stages.

The securitization offenses were massive criminal conspiracies, identically undertaken by all of the big banks, to defraud investors in mortgage-backed securities. If you’re looking for an appropriate target for a massive federal investigation, one that would get right to the heart of the corruption of the crisis era… well, they picked the right target here.

If they were to do a real clean sweep on securitization, the federal prisons would end up literally teeming with senior executives from the biggest banks. A lot of very big names would end up playing ping-pong and cards in Otisville and Englewood.

The question is, how real of an investigation will we get? The fact that Schneiderman’s co-chairs are Lanny Breuer and Robert Khuzami make me extremely skeptical. I’m actually not sure that both men, in an ideal world, wouldn’t be targets of their own committee’s investigation.

    I Agree with you IVENT. Homes back to the last person with clear Title THE HOME OWNER/BORROWER WHO WAS DEFRAUDED! I don’t see it as a FREE HOME NO! It is where they COMMITTED THE CRIME! THE CRIME SCENE if you will. If someone breaks into your house and stills all your belongings and the THIEVES GET CAUGHT WITH THE GOODS AND THROWN IN JAIL. The COURTS RETURN ALL YOUR STOLEN GOOD’S AND FINE’S THEM A RESTITUTION FOR THERE PUNISHMENT. In this case THEY STOLE THE WHOLE HOUSE. On top of that they sold the house at an inflated price then SET THE BORROWER UP TO DEFAULT SO THEY COULD COME BACK AND STILL THE HOUSE NOT FORECLOSE IT! You have to have proof of standing or Proper
    CHAIN OF TITLE TO FORECLOSE AND THEY DON’T. BY THEIR OWN ENGINEERING THE GREEDY BASTARD’S F*#T THEM SELF’S….. SO THE HOUSE IS THE RESTITUTION TO EACH AND EVERY VICTIM! THE BORROWER! THAT IS THE ONLY WAY IN MY OPINION TO FIX IT AND MAKE IT RIGHT! ALL OTHER HOME OWNER’S THAT THERE LOANS WHERE NOT EFFECTED IN THIS MESS TO EXTENT OF MOST OF US ALSO SHOULD GET RESTITUTION IN THE FORM OF A REFUND IN PROPERTY TAXES FOR THE FALSELY INDUCED INFLATED VALUE THROUGH THE BOOM YEAR’S AND ALSO THE OPPORTUNITY TO RE-FINANCE AT A SPECIAL RATE. ALSO THE INSURANCE COMPANIES THAT HAD TO PAY ON THESE FRAUDULENTLY INDUCED DEFAULTS SHOULD GET RESTITUTION FOR THERE LOSSES! THE PONZI SCHEME IS OVER BOY’S GIVE BACK OUR PROPERTY AND OUR LIBERTY! FANNY AND FREDDY STOP THE CHARADE! YOU DON’T OWN ANYTHING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE OWN IT! WHEN HOME’S FALL BACK TO THESE INSTITUTIONS THEY ARE BACKED BUY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT THE INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE NOT THE POLITITION’S THAT HAVE A SELF-SERVING INTEREST IN THESE. F**# YOUR PORTFOLIO NEWT THE BIG FIG. YOU’VE BEEN BLOWING IT OUT YOUR ASS FOR YEAR’S EX HOUSE SPEAKER. YOUR BREATH SMELLS LIKE SHIT! AND LAY OFF THE GREASY FOOD MISTER CHOLESTEROL! IF WE HAD ANY POLITICAL LEADER’S AT ALL THAT CARE’D ABOUT THE COUNTRY THIS MESS WOULD HAVE BEEN DELT WITH BACK THE EARLY 2000′S. GIVE BACK THE HOMES AND RESTORE THE PROSPERITY TO THE PEOPLE! WE THE PEOPLE ARE NOT DEADBEATS. WE ARE HARD WORKING AMERICAN’S WITH AMERICAN VALUES AND RESPECT FOR OUR HERITAGE AND OUR RIGHTS AS SET FORTH IN THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES! TO THE 1%. GIVE BACK THE PROSPERITY TO AMERICA AND THE REST OF THE WORLD! STOP WITH YOUR GREED OR THE PEOPLE WILL REVOLT AND YOU CANNOT WIN IN THE END! IF YOU WANT TO USHER IN A NEW WORLD ODER. DO IT IN AN HONORABLE AND CONSTITUTION ABLE WAY PROVIDING LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL HUMANITY WHERE FREEDOM OF RELIGIONS CAN CO-EXIST. WHERE FREEDOM AND PROSPERITY CAN BE FOUND ANY WHERE ON THE PLANET FOR THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO WORK HARD FOR IT. AND NO MORE WAR’S ARE TOLERATED . NOT A COMMUNIST TOTALITARIANISM TYPE CONTROL! PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD WANT WHAT AMERICA ONCE WAS. FREEDOM TO EXIST TO LIVE YOUR LIFE AS YOU CHOOSE. NO ONE WANTS TO BE A SLAVE TO YOUR NWO MACHINE.
