Obama administration tries to stop prosecution of banks | It's Our Economy

  Kevin Zeese

  President Obama got more money from banksters than any candidate for any office in history, and responded by bailing them out for their scams gone bad, leaving millions to lose their homes and other millions to lose their jobs. Now Obama is putting pressure on New York's Attorney General to block prosecution of the big banks, while raising record amounts from Wall Street. Corruption?

  In mid-May, I wrote about the commendable — one might say heroic — efforts of New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman to single-handedly impose meaningful accountability on Wall Street banks for their role in the 2008 financial crisis and the mortgage fraud/foreclosure schemes. Not only was Sch...

  I Acknowledge Class Warfare Exists

  ‎"Dubbed “Wall Street’s Favorite Congressman” in a Forbes article last year, Brown reported having more than $9.6 million in the bank at the end of June. A good portion of that money came from the financial-services sector, according to data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics."
  
  She's going to need EVERYONE across the nation to help her to compete with Brown and his money.

  Warren’s criticism of Wall Street poses fundraising dilemma

  Elizabeth Warren might need the help of donors in the financial industry to mount a challenge to Sen. Scott Brown.

      Sally Bowman I plan to donate - and I bet all across the nation there are others with $3 dollars to give to her!

  Here's what happens when a private corporation for the banks is allowed to create money -- they make special deals for the banks . . .

  

  Wall Street Aristocracy Got $1.2 Trillion in Secret Loans at Lowest Rates

  www.bloomberg.com

  Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America Corp. were the reigning champions of finance in 2006 as home prices peaked, leading the 10 biggest U.S. banks and brokerage firms to their best year ever with $104 billion of profits.

      Kevin Zeese We pay for it mostly through misdirection of resources. The U.S. could have the economy on track if those funds had been properly used, instead the wealth divide expands, income of Americans drops and the economy remains in collapse, threatening to collapse further. It did not have to be this way. There were solutions that could have ended this mess.

      Paul Tulloch smart investment public and private is the route out. SMART investment- poverty alleviation, education, medicare for all, etc but it seems shovel ready projects into the gapping holes of the financial elites are the only destinations deemed worthy. I am not shocked but definitely saddened that this news did not get much airplay in the US media yesterday. Democracy starts with information

  ‎"Senator Bernie Sanders, a staunch critic of oil speculators, leaked the information to a major newspaper in a move that has unsettled both regulators and Wall Street alike."

      Al Henderson I think all this data should be public, that traders should be required to take delivery, and that 100% or more margin required (i.e. no trading on credit).

  Hey, maybe instead of a taxpayer-financed bailout for Terrance Wall Street, you keep the school crossing guards. Hizboomer may not have small kids anymore, but the kids of Gen X and Y deserve the same safety protections the previous generations' enjoyed. Just sayin'...

  

  Agencies’ response to Soglin’s budget request would cut deeply

  host.madison.com

  Laying off 38 cops and 27 firefighters. Reducing salt and sand on snow-covered streets. Eliminating the school crossing guard program.

      George Twigg This one is actually on Noble Wray, not Soglin. Whenever the MPD is asked to trim its budget, they always propose politically unacceptable ideas like getting rid of crossing guards, instead of looking for genuine ideas to save money or work more efficiently.
