In reply to the discussion: Obama to Use Pension Funds of Ordinary Americans to Pay for Bank Mortgage “Settlement” [View all]woo me with science
(32,139 posts)This report comes from a respected publication and is supported by the report of a senior Democratic US Senator. Of course it is worth paying attention to. There is clearly enough here for people to be concerned and want to know more, and it is coming from respectable sources.
Please spare me the admonitions about its being an election year. Whether Obama is "all but ratified" is irrelevant here. If this information is true, people need to know about it, and there is enough here that we should be paying very close attention and looking for answers. You don't stop talking about what is coming out of the White House just because what is coming out of the White House might not be flattering in an election year.
If this is what is coming down the pike, and it would not at all be inconsistent with other stances this administration has taken, now is exactly the time to be speaking out about it. We need to know whether this is happening, because if it is, we need pushback now. This is not a game; these are decisions that will affect all of us. Americans are already shouldering the effects of what these corrupt banks have done. No more.
