Bookmarked 742 weeks ago
richard j eskow campaign for america039s future joins thom hartmann turning our attention now to the ongoing bankster-fueled housing crisis in the second quarter of this year - mortgage delinquencies increased - as now close to 10 of all homeowners are on the verge of being foreclosed on - a sign that the housing crisis beginning in 2007 is nowhere near resolved after four years what has been resolved though the wall street money-making machine as more records from the federal reserve go public - we039re learning that the 2008 bailout of wall street - known as quottarpquot - was just the tip of the iceberg in public funds going to the banksters in december of 2008 - the fed secretly gave more than 12 trillion in virtually interest-free loans to big banks like morgan stanley - citigroup - and bank of america that039s 12 trillion which - coincidentally - is about how much it would cost to save 6-and-a-half million homeowners who are delinquent on their mortgages and facing foreclosure in other words - a clear choice was made in 2008 to help banksters or help bilked homeowners - and the fed chose the banksters so today - it039s no wonder that banksters are doing just fine again - with 5 of the six largest banks in america reporting soaring profits - like jp morgan chase039s 13 profit increase - and wells fargo039s 29 profit increase meanwhile - millions of americans are still being kicked out of their homes - and republicans refuse to sign on to any sort of relief to help them so what do we the people need to do now to make sure we see the same sort of recovery that wall street saw
