3. Bush administration looked the other way and did nothing to protect American homeowners
"Even though predatory lending was becoming a national problem, the Bush administration looked the other way and did nothing to protect American homeowners. In fact, the government chose instead to align itself with the banks that were victimizing consumers."

4. How Elliot Spitzer tried to save us from the repukes...... (edit, what I really meant to say)
Edited on Thu Feb-12-09 02:20 PM by Ernesto


An oldie but goody!..... Soon after this article, the bush justice dept. went after him.....

Quote: "What did the Bush administration do in response? Did it reverse course and decide to take action to halt this burgeoning scourge? As Americans are now painfully aware, with hundreds of thousands of homeowners facing foreclosure and our markets reeling, the answer is a resounding no.

Not only did the Bush administration do nothing to protect consumers, it embarked on an aggressive and unprecedented campaign to prevent states from protecting their residents from the very problems to which the federal government was turning a blind eye."
