For the most in-depth story on how this all came about, watch The Con. It just came out and It's available on Amazon as well as other sites. It a series of 5 episodes on the Mortgage Scam, with names of the enablers and the ones who fought against it. It's also the story of Addie Polk, a 90 year old black woman & widower, living in Akron Ohio. She shot herself dead when the police were coming to take her home in foreclosure. The home had been paid for and mortgage free for several years. Rather than becoming homeless after living in her home for 40 years, she shot herself in the chest. It's not over. It's the story of how we have NO ACCOUNTABILITY for any white collar criminals and why trump was elected. Thom, I hope you will begin to interview and discuss this crime against the people of the United States that is ongoing. 3 million American families lost their homes so far in this case of blatant fraud. My husband and I were one of them.

When it all started to unravel was when Al Gore chose not to fight in 2000 for the recount of the votes in Florida. The U.S. Supreme Court led by Scalia and Sandra Day O'Connor chose in favor of Bush in violation of the U.S. Constitution and Gore did nothing. Gore did get a nice payday reward from Google's owners but democracy took a hit from which it has not recovered. Bush chose Supreme Court justices and even when Obama was in office and should have selected a justice, he cowardly let the Mitch McConnell tell him he was not going to be able to do so. Obama had many options as the President of the USA but he rolled over without so much as a whimper. We have the same situation today with Biden's agenda being stopped by the Republicans and neoliberal members of the Democratic Party who do not want tax reform or money that will benefit all Americans and in particular workers and their families.

“We can have huge wealth in the hands of a relatively few people or we can have a democracy. But we can’t have both.” Supreme Court judge Louis Brandeis

We no longer have anything resembling a democracy in this country. If I was graduating from college today I would be researching which country to emigrate to and leave the USA behind. The situation is not salvageable.
