buy up mortgages, "fix them" so people can continue paying. Our over seas financial masters (FCB and FWF) don't come after us (the united states) for defaulting. Oh and save the Feds buddies on wall street. meh, whatever.

So now the Government is getting into flipping houses & businesses? Smoke and mirrors..................big groan here. I wish I could make large sums of my personal debt disappear too. Big money players playing. The very sad part of this mess is it will hurt the wage earner and help big money.

So does this piece mean no one can stop or reverse any decisions made by the Treasury nor can they review it before it's made public ?
Boy..talk about a blank check.

"Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency."
