Republicans Have Hard Lessons To Learn…

  …which will be an interesting feat since the party is hell-bent on cutting education ( public ) funding almost down to zero if they get their way.

   Here are a few of the political pundits thoughts on the current Republican rampage.

  From Politico:

Democrats in Wisconsin are vowing to transform virtually every upcoming state and local election there into a referendum on Walker’s administration. Party leaders from Madison to Washington are gearing up for a major fight in the hope of sending an unmistakable signal to other ambitious GOP state executives.

Their efforts to make Walker and his supports pay a high political price for their victory has led Republicans to activate their own campaign machinery. Few expect the conflict will stay contained in Wisconsin.

Green Bay [WI] Press Gazette:

For all the unrest that's stemmed from the State Capitol this month — protests that attracted people by the tens of thousands, Capitol lockdowns with increased security and philosophical conflicts that have shaken communities — the fallout doesn't end with the passage of a provision that removes collective bargaining powers for most public employees.  It may just be the start.

Philadelphia Inquirer editorial:

Conservative public officials across the country are using deficits caused primarily by the recession as a pretext to weaken public unions and gain a partisan edge against labor's Democratic allies. Fortunately, people are seeing this ruse for what it is and banding together to stop this partisan scheme before it's too late.

Republicans Holding Social Security, Medicare Hostage

This may be the point where all of those senior citizens who voted for those American Taliban members wish that they hadn't as it seems that the American Taliban leadership in the Senate (Mitch McConnell ) has once again stated that the GOP will block any debt ceiling raise unless the Democrats agree to cuts to Social Security and Medicare benefits.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Capitol Hill, Mike Pence, chairman of the House Republican Conference, says "it's time to pick a fight" over top Republican priorities like banning family planning funding and repealing health care reform. If his party doesn't get its way, Pence says, they should refuse to fund anything at all, forcing the closure of the federal government.

You would think that after having lived 50,60,or more years on this earth that one would know when they are being conned. The sad thing is that this ignorance/stupidity has trickled down to many of the younger generation.

Bank of America Emails Hitting the Internet

  Check this out>   THE SIEGE-Federal Reserve Protests beginning March 28

  I have to tell you that I have been waiting for these emails to come out for a very long time. I should also let you know that I am one who despises this company with a passion due to past problems with them when I had an account there. If they are so sorry that they would lie and cheat a little account holder who is just getting by, I can imaging how the homeowners have been getting screwed by BofA.

   The initial emails can be read HERE if you can get the site to come up. As of 9:31 am eastern time, the site is “ temporarily unavailable.” That could be due to all of the visits to the site, or because the United States government has knocked it offline.  ( Mirror Server )

   Meanwhile, you can go HERE to get caught up on what has been released thus far. A little taste follows.

From Operation LeakS' site, http://bankofamericasuck.com, here is the initial release of what appears to be a whistleblower's (former employee) disclosure that Brian Moynihan's firm is lying to the Federal government. The punchline is that this appears to be a concerted effort from the ground up to hide foreclosure data from auditors and the Fed in order to obtain select preferential treatment in a variety of housing related axes, in many instances to accelerate foreclosures. As the whistleblower summarizes: "Balboa Insurance/Countrywide knowingly hiding foreclosure information from federal auditors during the federal takeovers of IndyMac Federal (a subsidiary of OneWest) and Aurora Loan Services (a subsidiary of Lehman Bros Holdings), falsifying loan documentation in order to proceed with foreclosures by fixing letter cycles in the system, reporting incorrect volumes to all of their lenders and to the federal auditors to avoid fines for falling behind on Loan Modifications, purposefully and knowingly adjusting premiums for REO insurance for their corporate clients while denying forebearances for individual borrowers, etc, etc, etc.
