Michael Bloomberg, Mayor of New York City and founder of Bloomberg, L.P., discusses the origins of the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis.
-----
Mayor Michael Bloomberg addresses a Georgetown audience on the state of the American economic crisis, the steps that should be taken and the steps that have not yet been taken. He characterizes federal responses to date as being akin to "buying an alcoholic a drink."
Michael Bloomberg is an American businessman, philanthropist, and the Mayor of New York City. He was elected mayor in 2001, then reelected to a second term in 2005.
Bloomberg graduated from Johns Hopkins University in 1964 with a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, then earned an MBA from Harvard Business School in 1966. His 1997 autobiography was titled Bloomberg by Bloomberg.
Bloomberg is the founder and former CEO of financial news and data company Bloomberg, L.P.
Bloomberg's lying through his teeth. The Community Reinvestment Act, which Congress passed to alleviate "redlining" only applied to commercial banking institutions. Most of the companies that gave the subprime mortgages and bundled them were NOT commercial banking entities. Bloomberg knows this--he made billions off this scam.

This guy is no ordinary mayor of NYC. He was with a Wall Street billionaire before turning to politics in 2001. Forbes estimated that he was worth $16 billion. He hated the Middle-Class and the poor.
Michael Bloomberg was responsible for the heavy-handed police crackdown of the Occupy Wall Street activists on the Brooklyn Bridge. According to some intelligence reports, the NYPD sent infiltrators and spies among the activists to break the demonstrations.

What happened to me is basically the equivalent of niggers saying: "We're gunna lock you up" (find a way to lock me up) then me calling 911 frantically telling them these niggers are trying to lock me up and within 10 days I get locked up for a purported "8" like napster downloads (millions of ppl download like 8K) or something which actually turns out to be 1 actual and 3 grossly exaggerated enough to be a "download" then 10 month delay then in court: "DOWNLOADED THIS TRACK! ILLEGAL! ILLEGAL!"
