RF: “The real question is why this information did not come front and center sooner.”

PF: The videos you and others have linked on prior threads give us the answer.

Democrats on high lambasted the watchdogs and closed down discussions that would let the news out, ostensibly protecting the underclass that would be put into housing at least temporarily. They painted the watchdogs as cruel, and news media (MinInfo) went along.

However, the Republicans and the finance industry didn’t fight very hard either. Increased business were converted into bonuses. MinInfo went along again.

Who is left standing by the old standards as the whole political machine has moved (Leftward?) towards more statism? The middle class and taxpayers. We had been given minimum information and MinInfo continues to do that.

For instance: how many know that the Dems added billions for psychiatric treatment and the Pubbies added billions for rural schools to the Senate “Bail-out” Bill? What the hell does that have to do with the financial institution failures? Heh-heh. I guess it’s none of our business, right? MinInfo continues its role.
