Julian Castro is HUD Secretary and a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter. He has been a Clinton hatchet man and launched lame bullshit attacks against Bernie Sanders. He's been named as a possible Vice President pick for Hillary.
Here's an example of the type of crony capitalist governance we can expect from the Clinton crew:
ColorOfChange.org, along with the organizations listed below, calls on Secretary Castro to immediately cease sales through the Distressed Asset Stabilization Program until they can ensure those loans will not be sold to the Wall St firms and speculators who caused the Housing crisis.

Hillary raises concerns Obama's church associated with terrorist group Hamas
Hillary Clinton v. 2008 was concerned about Obama's associations with Jeremiah Wright and some connection to Louis Farrakhan, and, out of the blue, somehow Hamas. She says it "deserves further exploration."
New Jersey troopers arrest woman for remaining silent during traffic stop
Two New Jersey state troopers cuffed a woman along a Warren County roadway and hauled her in on an obstruction charge because she refused to answer questions during a routine traffic stop, according to dashboard camera footage obtained by NJ Advance Media.
The Oct. 16 incident, which happened near the New Jersey-Pennsylvania border on Route 519, is now the subject of a federal civil rights lawsuit filed by the woman, Rebecca Musarra, an attorney from Philadelphia.
Musarra claims in the suit the troopers violated basic rules familiar to anybody who's ever watched a police show on TV, including the right to remain silent.
She claims at least three troopers insisted during the ordeal that her refusal to answer questions was a criminal act.

We're holding the Democratic Party's feet to the fire. They don't like it. But Bernie is helping us.
We all want active engaged citizens right?
We all think the citizens should push our representatives to do what we want, right? That's just democracy.
We're not supposed to just elect representatives and then beg them to do the right things.
Frederick Douglass said power concedes nothing without a demand. And the way to demand that is we're supposed to organize and fight for power.
And the best time to make demands of the politicians is during elections. The best place to push the Democratic Party is during the primaries. This is what we're doing, as a movement. Bernie Sanders is helping by standing up as a candidate. We're lucky to have him because he's decent at it.
This is why we fight all the way to the end, contesting for every vote and every delegate, until all the votes are cast and a winner is officially declared. Because it's not just about winning, although winning is better. It's also about the fight, because through the fight is where we show our numbers, our strength, and politicians learn to respect us and the issues we care about, which are many of the issues that Bernie is talking about.
Indiana democrats choose socialism!
Thank you Indiana!
Democratic socialism is alive and well in America. Thank you Bernie Sanders. Everyone has a right to see doctor. That's our message. We have the right to education. We have the right to a job at living wage. This is what we're saying. That's the message. We don't want endless needless war. We don't want to put people in jail for non-violent victimless crimes. End the war on drugs. Don't spy on us. This is what we want. Let us live. Freedom and equality. That's really all we want. Thank you Bernie and thank you Indiana.

RIP Afeni Shakur, Tupac's mom
Tupac's mom. Former Black Panther Party member, black liberation fighter, rest in power
Renowned rap artist Tupac Shakur's mother passed away in Marin County late Monday night, according to the Marin County Sheriff's office.
The sheriff's office says Afeni Shakur Davis, 69, had passed via their Twitter account.
Born Alice Faye Williams, Shakur changed her name as an adult when she became a political activist and joined the Black Panther movement. She was pregnant with Tupac in 1971 and incarcerated while she and other Panthers faced conspiracy charges that were later dismissed.
Shakur was an inspiration for her son's music and oversaw his music catalog and legacy after his death.
Lying and Cheating: Less than 1% has gone to state parties in Hillary's "joint fundraising" scheme
Hillary money laundering through "Victory Fund" to get around campaign finance laws.
"Individuals are able to donate to the Clinton campaign via sideroads such as the Victory Fund, with sums 130 times greater than the $2,700 limit."
Before Hillary Clinton launched her fundraising vehicle, the Hillary Victory Fund, last summer, she promised to “rebuild” the Democratic Party “from the ground up.” Clinton declared, “When our state parties are strong, we win.” However, a report by Politico Monday shows that less than 1 percent of the $61 million raised so far has actually remained in state parties.
The venture, labelled a joint fundraising committee, includes the Hillary Victory Fund, the Democratic National Committee and a record 32 state party committees. Due to a 2014 Supreme Court ruling, the set-up allows Clinton to receive checks of $350,000 or more at fundraisers hosted by super-rich donors. Recently Clinton held at the home of Amal and George Clooney in Los Angeles, where a seat at the head table cost $354,000. Clooney himself later admitted the money they raised for Clinton was “obscene” and should also help Democrats in down ticket races.
According to Politico, state party committees have received $3.8 million from the victory fund, but $3.3 million (88 percent) was soon after transferred to the DNC. Conveniently, Elizabeth Jones, who is the COO of the Clinton campaign, is also the committee’s treasurer and decides how the funds are allocated.
“By contrast, the victory fund has transferred $15.4 million to Clinton’s campaign and $5.7 million to the DNC, which will work closely with Clinton’s campaign if and when she becomes the party’s nominee,” reported Politico. “Most of the $23.3 million spent directly by the victory fund has gone towards expenses that appear to have directly benefited Clinton’s campaign, including $2.8 million for “salary and overhead” and $8.6 million for web advertising that mostly looks indistinguishable from Clinton campaign ads and that has helped Clinton build a network of small donors who will be critical in a general election expected to cost each side well in excess of $1 billion.”
