Chicago Hope
Must corruption ooze out of everything Washington’s current Political Class touches?
GE (MSNBC‘s corporate parent) “has quietly become the biggest beneficiary of one of the government’s key rescue programs for banks” thanks to loophole in the applicable law. Nice, appearance of impropriety, eh? That’s the same GE that is drooling for a big healthcare records contract if Obamacare becomes law.
But wait! There’s more: turns out that Obama’s Hope for Homeowners program, the much maligned bail-out for homeowners facing foreclosure, is attracting the investigatory attention of the Department of Justice.
Makes you wonder how much wrongdoing is going on, but perhaps a more appropriate question is who will sniff out the wrongdoing? That’s the money question right now given that the federal government is waging war against its own watchdogs: Inspectors General.
