Can the R.I.C.O. Statute be Used Against Congress?

With the focus this week on health care’s “home stretch” and con­cerns about gov­ern­ment lim­it­ing the abil­ity of ordi­nary Amer­i­cans to make choices about med­ical treat­ment, another threat to free­dom is accel­er­at­ing that could harm Amer­i­cans’ abil­i­ties to start a busi­ness, invest for retire­ment, and get afford­able home and auto insur­ance poli­cies. On Mon­day, after abruptly shut­ting down earnest nego­ti­a­tions between Sen­ate Repub­li­cans, Sen­ate Bank­ing Com­mit­tee Chair­man Chris Dodd wan­nounced (sic) a par­ti­san so-​​called finan­cial reg­u­la­tory reform bill that he will try to ram through his com­mit­tee within a week.

…and I ought to know, because I cov­ered for Fan­nie and Fred­die and got sweet­heart deals from AIG

Another 1000 + page bill to make it eas­ier, AGAIN, for Dodd and his bud­dies to vac­uum bil­lions out of Amer­ica.  It will also let the bureau­crats ruin what’s left of your pen­sion, if there is any.

Read, as they say, The Whole Thing.
