What political family has cost the U.S. taxpayer Megabucks? If you want the one-family record for costing the taxpayers money, try the BUSH clan. Neil Bush was on the board of directors of Silverado Savings when it closed at a cost to the taxpayers of $1 billion. Jeb Bush of Florida was involved with the late Broward Savings, dead at a cost of $221.8 million. President Bush indirectly cost the taxpayers $5.5 billion when BNL (Banca Nazionale del Lavoro) of Iraqgate fame went under. Get the full story here. http://www.mojones.com/mother_jones/JF93/pizzo.html After Silverado, Neil got a $2 million loan from the Small Business Administration and walked on it. So why all the attention to a "small potato" like Madison Guaranty? Go figure! ~~~~~~~~~~~ @ http://mediafilter.org/MFF/BushFamilyPreys.html The Family That Preys Together >From Issue No. 41, Summer, 1992 by Jack Colhoun GEORGE JR.'S BCCI CONNECTION "This is an incredible deal, unbelievable for this small company," energy analyst Charles Strain told Forbes magazine, describing the oil production sharing agreement the Harken Energy Corporation signed in January 1990 with Bahrain. >>>Only the beginning; rest at site (longish)<<< ~~~~~~~~~~~ @ http://www.netmagic.net/~franklin/SW1.html Welcome to the Web Pages on the Looting of U.S. Saving and Loans This is an UPDATE to the original S&L pages. Much of the material in these pages is coming from a series of letters I wrote to the San Jose Mercury News beginning in April 1994 in an attempt to get them to balance their reporting of Whitewater with equally vigorous reporting on the three Lootings of U.S. Savings and Loans during the Reagan and Bush administrations. The letters were based on research into the Lootings from several books written in the late 1980s and early 1990s. In addition to a request for balance and fair play, I was attempting to redress the failure of the Mainstream Media to cover the Lootings at the time they occurred. The Mainstream Media reporting on the Lootings was fragmentary, spread out over a period of several years, and never received extensive investigative reporting. There were exceptions, Pete Brewton's articles in the Houston Post that resulted in his The Mafia, CIA & George Bush in 1992 and a series of articles by three northern California writers that resulted in their Inside Job: The Looting of America's Savings & Loans published in 1989. By 1994 and the Whitewater coverage it was evident that no one in the Mainstream Media or the reading public as a whole, had read either book. Today, in 1998, the reading and viewing public in the United States are subjected to a daily barrage of material intended to entertain and indoctrinate. Information on serious subjects important to the future of this country are ignored, dumbed-down or distorted . On some subjects -- sports and sex, just to name a few -- the coverage is so great we begin to suffer from a state of mental indigestion. In vivid contrast, we have some topics the Mainstream Media simply will not cover today and did not cover in the past. The Lootings of the American Savings and Loans from 1985 to 1995 is one of these topics. On this subject, the American people are simply not Information-Poor, they are Information-Starved. As you will see in some of pages, the letters usually are based upon one or more of those unread books on the Lootings. It is still my intention to put together a time-based narrative of the specific S&Ls that were looted for the benefit of wealthy Republicans. But on re- reading some of the letters I have come to realize that their sense of immediacy and purpose would be lost when re-written in narrative form. Moreover, the preparation of the narratives will take me weeks and months of work. So I will give you the letters now, and in a few months, the narratives. (The meat now, the potatos, or is that the potatoes, later). >>>Only the beginning; full text and hot linques at site. <<< ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Forwarded as information only; no endorsement to be presumed + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + In accordance with Title 17 U.S.C. section 107, this material is distributed without charge or profit to those who have expressed a prior interest in receiving this type of information for non-profit research and educational purposes only. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes. -Marcel Proust + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + "Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
