Great stuff. Terrific compilation, if infuriating. Underscores your premise that the failure to reckon with the banksters (and the WMD lies, I’d add) brought us Trump, while also bolstering the popularity of Bernie. In my estimation, the burn-it-all-down impulse remains strong within the electorate, maybe strong enough to catapult Trump back into office. Pity that RFK is such a flawed candidate. If ever an independent or third party could get traction, 2024 is the year. Oh well, wait until ‘28.

"We estimate that they can handle ten million foreclosures, over time,” referring to the banks. “This program will help foam the runway for them.”

The scale of the lies is unbelievably infuriating as someone who had to try and save a company by attempting to manage the mess they created. And the borrowers were hurt the worst. This one made me very angry today, but I will be reading Barofsky's book. The anger gives me energy.
