What's New in D.C.?

Not a damn thing! From a top level politician who strongly believes in "distribution of wealth" How sweet!
----------------------From my in basket-------------------------
The US has entered into a contract with a real estate firm to sell 56 buildings that currently house U.S. Post Offices. The government has decided it no longer needs these buildings, most of which are located on prime land in towns and cities across the country. The sale of these properties will fetch about $19 billion.
A regular real estate commission will be paid to the company that was given the exclusive listing for handling the sales. That company is CRI and it belongs to a man named Richard Blum. Richard Blum is the husband of Senator Dianne Feinstein and is shown with her in the picture below. (Most voters and many of the government people who approved the deal have not made the connection between the two because they have different last names).
Senator Feinstein and her husband stand to make a fortune (EST at between $950 million and $1.1 billion!!) from these transactions. His company is the sole real estate agent on the sale. CRI will be making a minimum of 3% and as much as 6% commission on each and every sale. All of the properties that are being sold are all fully paid for. They were purchased with U.S. taxpayers dollars.
The U.S.P.S. is allowed free and clear, tax exempt use. The only cost to keep them open is the cost to actually keep the doors open and the heat and lights on. The United States Postal Service doesn't even have to pay county property taxes on these subject properties. QUESTION? Would you put your house in foreclosure just because you couldn't afford to pay the electric bill?
Well, the folks in Washington have given the Post Office the OK to do it! Worse yet,most of the net proceeds of the sales will go back to the U.S.P.S, an organization that is so poorly managed that they have lost $117 billion dollars in the past 10 years!
No one in the mainstream media is even raising an eyebrow over the conflict of interest and on the possibility of corruption on the sale of billions of dollars worth of public assets. How does a U.S. Senator from San Francisco manage to get away with organizing and lobbying such a sweet deal? Has our government become so elitist that they have no fear of oversight? And it's no mere coincidence that these two public service crooks have different last names; a feeble attempt at avoiding transparency in these type of transactions.
Dianne Feinstein's Husband Brokering Post Offices-Truth!
Fox News contacted Senator Feinstein's office and a spokesperson told them that the Senator "is not involved in her husband's business dealings and she had nothing to do with his firm being awarded the contract."

While I don't like Feinstein, I do like the govt. selling off assets it doesn't use, nor need.

It is a shame that she uses, and has used her position to benefit financially for either herself, or her husband.

Really not very bright are you...or did you attend the GRUPS school of propaganda...or do you just automatically believe every horse$hit item in your inbox?

Divide $19 billion by 56 and see what you get?? I know anything more than 10 is too much...so here's the answer: $19,000,000,000 (19 billion) / 56 = $339,285,714.

Do ya REALLY think the post offices are going to sell for an average of $339 MILLION????

Had you bothered to go to the Fox news link you would have read the following line:

That prime real estate will likely fetch millions of dollars bringing in a hefty commission for the realtor.


And the name of the real estate firm...again from the original Fox article...

That would be the firm CBRE group.

How desperate are you to believe the worst about this country to believe WITHOUT CHECKING an article that is CLEARLY using made up numbers?

What are you wearing tonight, sexy?


:popcorn:

Oh, and PS: apparently, you're okay with the single-source, no-bid contract being awarded to relative of a sitting U.S. Senator, as long as the numbers aren't made up? Good to know.
