Indeed, Pug, Ken and Linda, and Jeff and Andy would do well to spend a few years cleaning Super 8 motels to earn a living. They would come to appreciate what it is like to pay taxes (more than Enron did) and support a family while your taxpayer resources are used to fund private companies, steal your assets at ten cents on the dollar and dramatically increasing your energy costs.

The Enron theft may include some $3.3 trillion missing from the Department of Defense (DOD) and Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).[4]

If my hypothesis is right -that monies stolen from HUD were laundered through Enron - then we need to get that money back as well. This amount of money is $11,700 for each American resident - many of whom do not have this amount of money in their bank account, let alone any assets to fall back on in the times ahead.

In the summer of 2000, I went to visit the office of the Chairman of the subcommittee of Senate Appropriations with jurisdiction for HUD, Senator Kit Bond (R-Mo.). The staffer that I spoke to asked me what was going on at HUD. I deferred to the staffer.
They said, “HUD is being run as a criminal enterprise.”

For that to be true, the Department of the Treasury, DOJ, Lockheed Martin, DynCorp, JP-Morgan Chase, Harvard, Arthur Anderson, AMS and several other HUD contractors would have to be complicit in running HUD and its financial and securities operations, FHA and Ginnie Mae with a trillion dollars of mortgage credit and related mortgage securities, as a criminal enterprise.
