Through Obama-infused rosy glasses. That asswipe Timmy would be facing major charges under RICO for all that he did while heading the NY Fed Reserve, AUtumn 2008.

He helps his buddies on Wall Street by manipulating which of them succeed and which fail. And the majority of monies under TARP went over to his friends at AIG and Goldman Sachs.

And THEN, Obama decides to give him the major Plum - Secretary of Treasury.

Follow the money and it tells a really nasty tale. And it has to all be swept under the rug to keep the Obama Pres going along so smoothly.

Yes, it does. It's called 'taking action' on behalf of the PEOPLE this time, rather than the sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #9

I'd like to point out that an under-appreciated genius made a similar suggestion 2 1/2 years ago: Orrex Jul 2012 #5

Wow, that was brilliant, Orrex. You were ahead of the game. And it was a very good question at the sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #8

You are a person ahead of your time, orrex. Good job! truth2power Jul 2012 #10

+1 to Orrex! Poll_Blind Jul 2012 #19

But the post didn't address the point made by TexasObserver. Is TexasObserver right? AnotherMcIntosh Jul 2012 #25

The fair market value of a foreclosed home is often a tiny fraction of its full sale value Orrex Jul 2012 #27

But that is not what happens in eminent domain. Properties are not auctioned. There is caselaw on stevenleser Jul 2012 #53

Okay, then require banks to maintain vacant properties in livable condition Orrex Jul 2012 #56

You cannot single out someone in a law like that, it would have to apply to all property owners. stevenleser Jul 2012 #58

You'd only be applying it to people who vacate properties and don't maintain them. Orrex Jul 2012 #59

I proposed a Federal govt bailout offer of all stevenleser Jul 2012 #62

Now that's a proposal that I can get behind Orrex Jul 2012 #65

You are correct, using MERS, the Banks removed any records of ownership from municipal record sabrina 1 Jul 2012 #21

That could actually be a problem for this. drm604 Jul 2012 #23
