How the Bush Administration Stopped the States From Stepping In to Help Consumers

Quote:

Even though predatory lending was becoming a national problem, the Bush administration looked the other way and did nothing to protect American homeowners. In fact, the government chose instead to align itself with the banks that were victimizing consumers.
Not only did the Bush administration do nothing to protect consumers, it embarked on an aggressive and unprecedented campaign to prevent states from protecting their residents from the very problems to which the federal government was turning a blind eye.

Wow! Thanks for the update on the links! They were OK just a few days ago, but I guess it's time to hunt updates. I hate that 'cause it is so time consuming. Still, no sacrifice is too large for truth, justice, and the American Way. I'll be back.
