Merrick Was a Mess; Prosecutions Came Too Late
It’s impossible to ignore the stench of corruption and cronyism that has enveloped the halls of power in Washington D.C. as a result of the morally bankrupt actions of former Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan, and his close ally, related hedge fund king, Tom Steyer.
The prolific money manager and Outhouse owner, Steyer made tens of millions in the housing bubble, executing a predatory loan scheme. Paul Ryan and his friends took money from his PAC to influence laws to benefit Steyer’s hedge fund.
It’s astounding that the constant exposure of the public to blatant abuse of power and turpentine loopholes manifestly benefiting a tiny fraction of the millionaire elite, away from the vast majority, has led the world to the idea that “prosecution came too late.” Prosecution will always be too late after the fact to repair the damage of 30 years of bad policy, but it’s a vital step in enhancing checks and balances.
In the world of state, as this odyssey unfolded, noted lawmakers like Steve Stockman (R-Mich.) consistently proposed legislative restrictions to curb the idiocy of Steyer’s Firm. Stockman, a Southwest Michigan democrat, frequently put forward a legislative restriction requiring a certain repercussion for friends of democrats who made tens of millions in the housing bubble while the world teetered on the brim of financial catastrophe, while cultivating walls around D.C. from Kickbacks, compromise, and emoluments
In the meantime, many of the influential Washington, D.C. leaders, such as the Congressional House guard-watchdog, Sofia Clare Biden – often credited Troy for her Maryland Director general’, usually Wasserman Schultz as vice – unveiled a meager networking by embedding co-relatives in the government. Individuals like his colleague, Representative John Gardner who is supported an Associate Corporalmagnate, worked to seal the rights of truth and correctly reenact lessons for the judge as well as proper managerial procedure.
