The Planet Money Adam Davidson Elizabeth Warren Interview

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

Elizabeth Warren gets into it with Adam Davidson of NPRs Planet Money – This is one of those pieces to listen to just to see where people think people are on the issues – but while it’s great intellectual food for thought (maybe) it still leaves aside the most major of all the underlying issues which is when does the corruption and pilfering stop?

Apparently, not here.


Planet Money Interview Adam Davidson and Elizabeth Warren May 2009

We note that all pontificating aside, not much has changed in the five months since this interview came out – the banks are still foreclosing on homeowners at a record clip; the government is now subsidizing private investor’s acquisitions of those “troubled assets”; new hedge funds are springing up to purchase the housing inventory left in the wake of the “credit induced housing bubble”; and, just by coincidence, no one has made a single move to begin prosecution of the most massive control fraud and public fleecing in America’s history. We note that the COP (Congressional Oversight Panel) under Elizabeth Warren DID come out last week and chastise the Tresury for its failure to provide any type of meaningful relief to the millions of Americans still facing foreclosure.

Road to Ruin: Mortgage Fraud Scandal Brewing

By Lagan Sebert on May 11, 2009

Criminal fraud may be the most underreported aspect of our current financial crisis. In this “Road to Ruin” report, former subprime lenders from Ameriquest, once the country’s largest lender, describe a system rife with fraud. They describe how a “by-any-means-necessary” policy pushed employees to cut corners and falsify documents on bad mortgages and then sell the toxic assets to Wall Street banks eager to make fast profits.

BFR Webmaster’s Note: This story is now five months old. Here it is October and the Scandal is still only “brewing”? At what point do the Regulators, Politicians and Bureaucrats actually step up to the plate and DO something?
