the douchebag speaks again.
When the Bush-Cheney Administration drastically cut federal resources for the investigation of white-collar crime, they invited a new era of Wall Street rule-breaking and the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression.
We must give federal law enforcers the resources they need to prosecute and punish the mortgage and corporate fraudsters that have so severely undermined our economy and hurt so many hard-working people.
The Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act, a bill I introduced and is being debated on the floor of the Senate this week, will do just that.
Click here to email your Members of Congress, urging them to support the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act and give federal law enforcers the resources they need to take a bite out of white-collar crime.
The past administration removed more than 2,000 FBI agents from white-collar crime investigations. Thousands of fraud allegations have gone unexamined, paving the way for excessive greed and depriving taxpayers of millions of dollars in fines and recoveries.
While the Bush-Cheney Justice Department devoted precious resources to produce secret legal memos that skirted the Constitution, it turned a blind eye to financial fraudsters as they skirted federal law.
We must rebuild our nation's capacity to investigate and prosecute financial fraud.
remind us again, you daft ****, when did Rahm Emanuel and Chris Dodd become republicans?
