Subsequent to my conversation with Senate staff, the Chairman, his subcommittees and the full Congress, including my Congressional delegation, all voted a $1.7 billion increase for HUD appropriations.

Interestingly enough, most of the companies involved at HUD are involved at Enron. In addition, the agencies that control HUD, the Department of Treasury and DOJ, are covering Enron up. Could this be a coincidence?

With $3.3 trillion unexplained and undocumented adjustments to books “cooked” worse than Enron, this is a financial crisis that rises to the level of national security problem.
In the game of financial fraud, the ball is cash. We need to keep our eyes on the ball.

The time has come to get our money back ---- not to just to act, but to TRANSACT.

For those looking for transactions that you may be able to take comfortably in the normal course of your daily life, I have added a list after the questions for Mr. Winokur to help you get started. These are ideas to help you “do your bit” because together lots of us doing our bit can get our money back.

A penny saved is a penny earned. Mr. Winokur’s yah-yah may not add up, but our actions and transactions will.
