Wikipedia describes "moral hazard:" "Politicians and regulators representing the taxpayer and voter may regulate financial institutions to lend money to specific voting blocks, special ethnicities, special interests, favored companies, and unionized businesses with favored unions, rather than regulate financial institutions to lend money in such a fashion as to reduce the risk the taxpayer will have to bail them out, particularly if the bailout is likely to happen after the next elections." This aptly describes Andrew Cuomo's acts as HUD Secretary. But Cuomo's also succeeded in extending "moral hazard" to NY State corruption.
"Andrew Cuomo became a "corruption moral hazard", to add to his prior "financial moral hazard" status. In an earlier post here, Cuomo's CAP program's failure to be implemented was the beginning part of Cuomo's "corruption moral hazard" And in the same post, "Cuomo turned the Federal Housing Administration mortgage program into a sweetheart lender with sky-high loan ceilings and no money down, and he legalized what a federal judge has branded "kickbacks" to brokers that have fueled the sale of overpriced and unsupportable loans " This was Cuomo's earlier incarnation as the "financial moral hazard" which directly caused the Federal Tarp bailout and our present economic malaise. See Cuomo's "smoking gun."
Cuomo as a "corruption moral hazard" was accentuated by his representation of crooked lawyers, judges and other State employees in Federal lawsuits. This is the direct cause of a newly pending federal action 08 Civ 2391, which concerns fraud, NY State corruption and $140,000.00 stolen from American Red Cross 9/11 donation money- still unpaid; and which names
THE STATE OF NEW YORK; THE OFFICE OF COURT
ADMINISTRATION OF THE UNIFIED COURT SYSTEM; THE N.Y. STATE COMMISSION ON JUDICIAL CONDUCT; THE N.Y.S. 1ST DEPT., DEPARTMENTAL DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE; THE N.Y.S. GRIEVANCE COMMITTEE, 9TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT;
and the following State employees
THOMAS J. CAHILL, in his official and individual capacity;
SHERRY K. COHEN, in her official and individual capacity;
GARY L. CASELLA, in his official and individual capacity;
NANCY J. BARRY, in her official and individual capacity;
FRANCIS A. NICOLAI, in his official and individual capacity;
JOSEPH M. ACCETTA, in his official and individual capacity,
ROBERT M. DIBELLA, in his official and individual capacity;
ANTHONY A. SCARPINO, in his official and individual capacity
Cuomo's duty is to NY State and a honest lawful government, not to the protection of crooked State employees. But, Andrew Cuomo used NY State funds and employees to defend fraud, theft and corruption criminal acts and to obstruct justice by not protecting NY State's interest in honest government and instead defending the criminal acts by State employees.
Luke 16:13 "No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon."
Andrew Cuomo, you cannot serve the People of NY and Mammon's corrupt NY courts. Your failure to carry out your CAP program encouraged more corruption and your multiple defenses of crooked State employees in a large number of Federal Corruption cases while Attorney General encouraged even more. The "smoking gun post" has a exact copy of your memo creating a financial moral hazard and along with it our current recession (depression?).
Constitution Day 9/18/2010, Cuomo Replaces Bill Of Rights With Cuomo's TARP
The US Constitution gave us the Bill of Rights (first ten amendments) in federal actions, and after the Civil War the fourteenth amendment extended the Bill of Rights to the citizens of all States for State actions. This was codified in federal law in 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
Although Supreme Court First Justice Marshall stated: "The Government of the United States has been emphatically termed a government of laws, and not of men. It will certainly cease to deserve this high appellation if the laws furnish no remedy for the violation of a vested legal right," when citizens of NY attempt to get federal remedy in federal courts for the deprivation of their civil rights by NY State, Andrew Cuomo through his attorneys claims that they can't obtain those rights

And we have the benefit of government by anointed men with the expected "Legacy" ascension of Andrew Cuomo to Governor.
Wake Up Andrew Cuomo, Your Answer Due Tomorrow, Other Victims of Protected Sex Predator
This is a follow up to an earlier post below,
Andrew Cuomo, it wasn't just one woman, Ms. Esposito, who was the victim of that sexual predator your office was protecting. This from the court filing: " Isaac's former legal secretary ...told Plaintiff,[that] Frank, the Calendar Clerk at Gladstein & Isaac, also witnessed Isaac grabbing Plaintiff's buttocks. Frank reported this to his Office Manager, Margie Sanchez, and also to Ms. Filomeno; Coincidentally Ms. Filomeno was fired by Harvey Gladstein after she testified at the DDC. Ms. Filomeno told Plaintiff that Frank, the Calendar Clerk was also fired by Defendant Harvey Gladstein." "Ms. Filomeno also reported Mr. Isaacs to DDC, because she had been similarily victimized by Defendant, Allen Issac."
Andrew Cuomo is this what women or men are to expect if they testify before NY State entities? Is your office condoning this and/or obstructing justice?
Tomorrow, September 17, clean your own nest and restore honor and integrity to the AG office by:

Answering tomorrow on September 17, before Federal Judge Scheindlin:
1.You support Ms. Esposito's application to Reopen.
2. Say you still claim immunity for all State employees for their official actions, but only for actions which carried out "your" and State policy to root out and punish corruption
3. Say any acts by State or City employees that did not carry out official policy and were a cover-up are not subject to immunity from Esposito's suit.
Cuomo Appears as Roman God, The Two Faced Janus, On Another Babuska Doll
Andrew Cuomo provides us with another babuska doll where he appears as the Roman God Janus. "Cuomo's campaign to the center has also infuriated the left, and at the victory party for the likely Attorney General nominee, Eric Schneiderman, jubilation was mixed with an eagerness to rub Cuomo's nose in it."
Meanwhile, "Carl Paladino -- as a more plausible, if extremely longshot, vessel for a "mad as hell" anti-Establishment campaign against the"status Cuomo', " will provide no quarter for Cuomo's clean up promises.
Poor Andrew Gollum Cuomo wanted to be Godlike, and chose Janus, whose two faces point in opposite directions. The god-like Andrew's one smiling face ignored all the corruption while he was Attorney General and his other smiling face promises to clean up the same corruption.

Cuomo Can Clean Sexual Abuse From His Own Nest On 9/17/2010 Before He Cleans Up Albany
We open with Cuomo's promises from his website Cuomo2010 in blue:1. Clean Up Albany
We must restore honor and integrity to government.
We must restore honor and integrity to government, with tough new ethics standards, expanded disclosure requirements, independent investigators to root out and punish corruption
Here's the story: Ms. Luisa Esposito fought back against the connected insider and sexual predator, Alan Issacs, in part with this recording.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VPIxOiuT9Q&feature=related
Ms.Esposito was stymied by the corruption and official misconduct of various NY State and City employees named in her Federal suit. Cuomo's office chose in the prior Federal suit to defend the acts of the corrupt, rather than "root out and punish the corruption." Now, Ms. Esposito's is asking to reopen her Federal suit with new information and Judge Shira Scheindlin is giving Cuomo's office a chance to answer by September 17.
Andrew, did you and your office err by condoning and/or obstructing criminal punishment for the following acts described in the Federal action? Here's the quote from June 1, 2010 Order of "The First Dept. Disciplinary Committee[which} charged respondent (Issacs) with professional misconduct including making unwanted sexual advances to LE. Defendant, Issacs, committed Felony Level Sexual Abuse, Coercion And Soliciting Sex From His Client, Obstruction of Justice, etc., these crimes were reported to Manhattan Special Victims Squad, and listed As "Felony Level Sexual Abuse"; there was an arrest warrant out for Defendant Allen Issacs, which the Police Department never acted upon because, "favors were called".
Here's what to do, Andrew: In your answer on September 17, before Federal Judge Scheindlin:
1. Support Ms. Esposito's application to Reopen.
2. Say you still claim immunity for all State employees for their official actions, but only for actions which carried out "your" and State policy to root out and punish corruption
3. Say any acts by State or City employees that did not carry out official policy and were a cover-up are not subject to immunity from Esposito's suit.The above E-mailed to Cuomo 9/12/2010
Andrew Cuomo Appears On Another Babuska Doll As Captain Of Keystone Cops
We open another Cuomo Babushka doll and inside is Andrew in a Police uniform with a badge saying Keystone Cop Captain. Sadly, the Keystone State is Pennsylvania, but that doesn't prevent Andrew from happily smiling.
"A New York state judge has tossed out the felony convictions of two former Marsh & McLennan Cos. executives after finding that the state attorney general's office had failed to turn over to the defense potentially exculpatory evidence, including some 700,000 documents obtained during a related civil proceeding."
Judge "Yates did not buy what he called the "theoretical argument" that 'in the abstract,' the two [Cuomo] bureaus' are separate and distinct entities operating in disconnected spheres'." Keystone Captain Cuomo was claiming his right hand didn't know what his left was doing. But the judge wrote, "[O]ne office, under the control of one prosecutor is authorized to prosecute Martin Act violations by civil and/or criminal prosecution. Nowhere in this statutory authority conferred upon the Attorney General in either the Executive Law or the General Business Law is there a division of authority."
Richard L. Spinogatti and Robert J. Cleary of Proskauer Rose represented Gilman whose conviction was overturned. But Keystone Captain Cuomo assuredly was not influenced by Proskauer contributions to his campaign.
The losers were the NY taxpayers who funded this Keystone Cop Farce. Among the winners were Andrew Cuomo and Proskauer Rose. Whether justice was served is lost in this farce.

Was Cuomo MIA With A $1.2 Billion Per Year Fraud: Was It The Peter Principle, The Dilbert Principle, Or Cuomo's TARP?
Federal probe:
"The U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced the probe Thursday"
"Medicaid payments to nine state institutions for the developmentally disabled, after the Poughkeepsie Journal revealed the facilities had reimbursement rates of $4,556 per day for each of 1,400 residents."
"State officials have said the actual cost of care is only about one-third the rate, and that much of the $1.2 billion in federal matching funds every year supports other state programs for the disabled."
Where was Cuomo and his office? This is fraud, because State Officials say it costs only a third of the claimed $ 1.2 billion amount or $400 million a year. Are Cuomo and his office asleep, incompetent or covering up (the CuomoTARP)?
Has Cuomo risen to his "Peter Principle" level of incompetence? Or, has Cuomo risen from his failures at HUD under the Dilbert Principle to Attorney General? Or has Cuomo kept his TARP covering up this immense fraud by State employees and political hacks?
Andrew, since "specifically, the federal agency ... pays half the rate as part of a 50-50 state-federal match, where is NY State's $1.2 billion dollar per year share going? And how much of the state's share is being shifted onto Local County Tax bills? How can State employees committing such fraud be retained and not prosecuted?
Cuomo Drenched With Albany Swamp Slime Sees It Only On Others
"We open the Cuomo Babuska doll again to find a Cuomo Faced Fat Frog covered in swamp slime. This is what may have caused Cuomo's latest ad, "$wamp Monsters," which depicts Albany as, "a swamp of corruption overrun with lobbyists and special interests."
The Cuomo Faced Frog proclaimed its good intentions in 2008, "Andrew's pretty serious about a real shake up, and he will not give state workers, including judges, more than 60 days to 'come clean.'" The plan, dubbed "CAP" (Cuomo's Amnesty Program) by AG lawyers, is said to specifically include all attorneys admitted to practice in New York, whether or not they are state employed. "Heads will role once the Amnesty Program ends,"
But the Cuomo Faced Frog bloated and fattened while swimming in the Albany swamp and changed its croaking, so that the NYT reported in 2010 that, "Mr. Cuomo was sitting on millions in campaign cash from the very special interests whose influence he said he wanted to limit.".
Hey, Andrew, which State workers, which judges, which attorneys and which heads rolled?

Court Corruption And Goons Flourish while Cuomo Defends The Corrupt
This blog continues again after my partial recovery following my knee replacement surgery due to an auto accident and complications resulting from that surgery, which made it difficult to sit before a computer. This post is in several parts with the letter to Cuomo and his opponents below (mailed on 8/24/10) in this post and the attachments detailing action in US Supreme Court in following posts.
Letter: August 24, 2010
Andrew M. Cuomo, Attorney General and Barbara D. Underwood, Solicitor General

Re: Intolerable corruption, abuse, criminal conduct, Cuomo's duty under New York Law
Demand for protection and prosecution
Dear Andrew Cuomo, Barbara Underwood, Carl Paladino and Rick Lazio:
It's intolerable, Andrew Cuomo. My hospitalization on 6/15/10 for total knee replacement and the subsequent medical complications was aggravated by the depraved criminal acts intended to silence me and prevent filing of an action involving the AG's Office before US Supreme Court. Dateline follows:
6/15/10 T. Finnan has total knee replacement surgery at Albany Medical,
6/17/10 T. Finnan in great pain and unable to walk is to be transferred to Schenectady Sunnyview Hospital. An ambulance transport is requested by T Finnan.
6/17/21 The nurse comes into his room to get T. Finnan ready to be discharged to two men with his “wife” who are waiting to transport him after discharge.
6/17/10 T. Finnan refuses discharge, telling nurse that he is not married and will leave only by arranged ambulance to Sunnyview Hospital.
6/17/10 Ambulance takes T. Finnan to Sunnyview where deep vein thrombosis and atrial fibrillation and low blood pressure are confirmed.
6/24/10 T. Finnan arranges his departure from Sunnyview and the simultaneous transport of his auto from Albany Medical to his home, 120 miles north of Albany. As T. Finnan is leaving Sunnyview, he learns that two men arrived just then arranging for his discharge to them, but T. Finnan leaves with his prearranged transport.
6/25/10 Visiting Nurse comes to his home and arranges home care and physical therapy at home.
6/26/10 Anonymous call comes to my home to tell me to go on line and check what happened to Sunny Sheu. Not recognizing the name, Sunny Sheu, I go on line and determine Sunny Sheu just died from head injury. T. Finnan becomes distraut and fearful because in his present condition he can hardly walk with his walker and he arranges for a Taxi to Plattsburgh NY Hospital. T. Finnan decides it's unsafe for him alone at his home and after a follow up appointment with his surgeon, leaves for the State of Georgia and begins Physical Therapy in a safe environment . Both T. Finnan and his family felt that there was danger to his family, if T. Finnan was present at their homes from such characters.
Unluckily for opposing parties, although T. Finnan was unable to personally finalize, serve and send court papers to US Supreme Court, T. Finnan had left that to another before 6/15/10, who filed and served the papers with Supreme Court and docket number 10-70.
Questions for Cuomo:
Were Cuomo or his supporters unhappy with my CuomoTarp.blogspot.com blog?
Was that my ex-wife at the hospital on 6/17/10?
Were Cuomo or his supporters unhappy with my demands to prosecute criminals whether or not they're judges or lawyers?
Does Cuomo ignore the corruption reported on ExposeCorruptCourts.blogspot.com and believe his duty is to defend crooked lawyers and judges?
Required action:
Right now, Andrew Cuomo, call your client, Judge Kevin K. Ryan, and tell him you can not represent a crooked judge and you'll indict him based upon my criminal complaint filed in your office, if he doesn't immediately rectify his errors. Andrew Cuomo, you're aware for almost four years of the horrors of corrupt NY courts and the malfeasances of the Commission on Judicial Conduct and the Attorney Disciplinary Committees.
Andrew Cuomo, begin with Penal law 195.00 Official misconduct: A public servant is guilty of official misconduct when, with intent to obtain a benefit or deprive another person of a benefit: 2. He knowingly refrains from performing a duty which is imposed upon him by law or is clearly inherent in the nature of his office.
Andrew Cuomo, prosecuting crooked state employees according to above Penal Law is clearly inherent in the nature of your office. There is no judicial immunity by the NY Constitution: "The power of grand juries to inquire into the wilful misconduct in office of public officers ... shall never be suspended or impaired by law."
Were those your goons at the Hospital, Andrew Cuomo, or goons from Marsha Kameron and her attorney, Ara Asadourian?
Mr. Paladino and Mr. Lazio, court corruption steals from the people and deprives them of honest government. Hold Cuomo accountable. See Exposecorruptcourts.blogspot.com and this blog, CuomoTarp.blogspot.com/ for continuing documentation.

Cuomo's Silver Spoon Removed With Hard Knocks Behind The Finance Woodshed
The Cuomo apologists have dismissed the smoking gun of Cuomo's HUD press release with "he was well intentioned." Some advice for Cuomo: 1. payday loans are not wise things; 2. you and who else expects income tax revenue to go up this year in NY; and what happens if anticipated income tax revenue decreases? So,now, what are Cuomo's well intentions for the following anticipated borrowings based only on anticipated income or to fund current outlays by NY State for the remainder of this year listed below:?
5/20/10 Local Government Assistance Bonds $ 1/4 billion borrow money for present outlays
5/26/10 Service contract Revenue $ 1/2+ billion borrow money from future income
5/26/10 Personal Income Tax Revenue $ 1/2- billion borrow money expecting tax receipts
June 2010 Personal Income Tax Bonds $ 1.2 billion borrow money expecting tax receipts
Aug 2010 Personal Income Tax Bonds $ 1/2- billion borrow money expecting tax receipts
Aug 2010 Dormitory Revenue Bonds $ 77.1 million those students will cough it up
Sept 2010 Personal Income Tax Bonds $ 1/2- billion borrow money expecting tax receipts
Nov 2010 Personal Income Tax Bonds $ 1.7 billion after the election, so the suckers won't know
Does Cuomo expect income tax revenues to rise or remain constant to cover this projected borrowing or will the difference be made up by more General Obligation borrowing, which wasn't described in the above NY State Borrowings this year, but which is huge.
How is Cuomo responding to Sheldon Silver's millionaire's tax to cover shortfalls when that idea resulted in reduced tax revenues in Maryland and New Jersey .
Did Cuomo fail in Federal Court to defend Gov. Paterson's one day furlough for State workers out of his incompetence or should we give him credit for a clever subterfuge to fool the voters that he and Paterson wanted to reduce expenses and stand up to the unions, but the Federal Court wouldn't let them. (The subject of future blog and a definite problem for Cuomo if elected; is Cuomo going to ask the new AG to correct his earlier error and its resulting federal court precedent?)
Here's the finance lesson that was not included in Andrew's silver spoon childhood and his entitlement training; and, that is painfully learned by many young people.
Look at your credit card statement. While your balance rises, you ignore the rising interest charged each month. But, your income is decreasing and your expenditures are increasing. This was no problem, because you just paid the minimum amount due each month, but, now, your interest charged approaches your minimum payment. You've reached your credit limit and the bank wants a higher minimum payment and won't advance you more money for present expenditures. You cry out to your parents, why is this happening to me; the bank's mean; help me; how can I live without my needed purchases; and you whine on.
The painful welcome behind the Finance Woodshed is received by Andrew and other such children to the "Brave New World of Responsible Finances." Neither your parents nor the Chinese want to loan us money; they want a lot more for a bad risk. And forget about the Greeks and Spaniards; they are looking for money also.
Andrew, putting on the garb of a fiscal conservative to fool the suckers won't help. Are going to ridicule Sheldon Silver's fiscal stupidity? And, Andrew, what about the Working Family's nomination; are going to embrace the unions and Acorn and then tell us you're for reform and ending corruption?
And Andrew, brace yourself, maybe, go home to your parents, the bond rating agencies* will wise up to your (and Silver's) words and deeds; maybe before the election.
Andrew, do you think, as governor, you can pull your TARP to cover up even more corruption and mishandled money?

Cuomo And Fiscal Disaster: The Still Smoking Gun
Andrew Cuomo's gun which is still smoking and it's firing which caused our economic recession/depression is found copied below. It's the official HUD release and the important parts are in red. I've done the arithmetic for the financially challenged Cuomo: 50% of $2.4 trillion dollars is $1.2 trillion dollars in mortgages, which Federal TARP was supposed to bail out.
Verdict: Andrew Cuomo: Guilty of gross fiscal ineptitude leading to economic disaster; a clear and present danger to NY finances; sentenced to pay back from his campaign treasury all those "disproportionately benefited minorities and city residents," who Andrew Cuomo had claimed to help with his mortgages.
They'll need a strong Kool-aid for those who would nominate him for Governor.
HUD Archives: News Releases
WASHINGTON - Housing and Urban Development Secretary Andrew Cuomo today announced a policy to require the nation's two largest housing finance companies to buy $2.4 trillion in mortgages over the next 10 years to provide affordable housing for about 28.1 million low- and moderate-income families.
Cuomo said the historic action by HUD raises the required percentage of mortgage loans for low- and moderate-income families that finance companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac must buy from the current 42 percent of their total purchases to a new high of 50 percent , a19 percent increase - in the year 2001. The percentage will first increase to 48 percent in 2000.
Commenting on the action, President Clinton said: "During the last six and a half years, my Administration has put tremendous emphasis on promoting homeowners and making housing more affordable for all Americans. Our housing programs and institutions have been a success. Today, the homeownership rate is at an all-time high, with more than 66 percent of all American families owning their homes. Today, we take another significant step. Raising the GSEs goals will help us generate increased momentum in addressing the nation's housing needs. I congratulate HUD Secretary Andrew Cuomo and the entire HUD team on their efforts in this important area."
"This action will transform the lives of millions of families across our country by giving them new opportunities to buy homes or move into apartments with rents they can afford," Cuomo said. "It will strengthen our economy and create jobs by stimulating more home construction, it will help ease the terrible shortage of affordable housing plaguing far too many communities, and it will help reduce the huge homeownership gap dividing whites from minorities and suburbs from cities."
The mortgage purchase requirement for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - known as the Affordable Housing Goals - was last set by HUD in 1995, under a requirement mandated by Congress. The goals came up for renewal this year, and HUD had the choice of leaving them unchanged, lowering them, or raising them. In addition to helping low- and moderate-income families, the new initiative will also increase the affordable housing goals for loans made to underserved areas and will raise the goal for mortgages to benefit families with very low incomes.
Under the higher goals, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will buy an additional $488.3 billion in mortgages that will be used to provide affordable housing for 7 million more low- and moderate-income families over the next 10 years. Those new mortgages and families are over and above the $1.9 trillion in mortgages for 21.1 million families that would have been generated if the current goals had been retained.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac buy mortgages for both individual homes and for apartment buildings.
Fannie Mae Chairman Franklin D. Raines joined Cuomo at the news conference in which Cuomo announced the HUD action. Raines committed Fannie Mae to reaching HUD's increased Affordable Housing Goals.
Others attending the news conference to express support for the new Affordable Housing Goals were National Association of Home Builders President Charles Ruma and Enterprise Foundation CEO Bart Harvey.
In addition, higher Affordable Housing Goals for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have been sought by the U.S. Conference of Mayors, the National Low-Income Housing Coalition, FM Watch and other groups.
Congress gave HUD the responsibility of regulating Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac because the two companies are Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs) that were chartered by Congress. The policy announced today will be implemented by HUD regulations. Such regulations go into effect after review by Congress and the Office of Management and Budget, along with a period of full public comment.
The GSEs buy mortgages issued by banks, thrift institutions and other mortgage lenders, and then package the loans and sell them to investors as mortgage-backed securities. When Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac buy the mortgages from lenders, they provide the lenders with the cash needed to issue new mortgages.
Congress has given GSEs special advantages - such an exemption from all state and local taxes except property taxes, and an exemption from Securities and Exchange Commission registration requirements. In addition, the ties of the GSEs to government has helped them get the highest credit rating to reduce their borrowing costs, and has boosted investor confidence in the two companies, thereby helping to increase their earnings. The Treasury Department reports that the benefits of federal sponsorship are worth almost $6 billion annually to the GSEs.
The GSEs are publicly chartered to provide broad public benefits. Congress, through Fannie Mae's and Freddie Mac's Charter Acts and the 1992 GSE Act, required that the two GSEs, in return for their publicly provided benefits, extend the benefits of the secondary mortgage market to a broad range of Americans. These include low- and moderate-income families, first-time homebuyers, and residents of communities underserved by mortgage credit.
If Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac fail to make a good faith effort to achieve the Affordable Housing Goals set by HUD, the Secretary of HUD has the authority to impose civil money penalties of up to $10,000 for each day the failure occurs.
Families are considered as having low and moderate incomes if they make no more than the area median income, which varies by community. The national average for the median income is $47,800.
In addition to raising the low- and moderate-income goal from 42 percent to 50 percent, HUD acted to raise two other Congressionally mandated goals. A special affordable housing goal for families with very low incomes and low incomes (those with less than 60 percent and 80 percent of area median) jumps from the current 14 percent to 20 percent (a 43 percent increase). In addition, a geographically targeted goal for underserved areas (central cities, rural areas, and underserved communities based on income and minority concentration) goes from 24 percent to 31 percent (a 29 percent increase).
The increase in the Affordable Housing Goals is part of the Clinton Administration's overall strategy to increase homeownership and the supply of affordable rental housing in the United States.
America's homeownership rate hit a record annual high in 1998, with 66.3 percent of all households owning their own homes. A total of 69.1 million families owned homes at the end of 1998 - 7.3 million more than when President Clinton took office in 1993. However, the homeownership rate varies a great deal between cities and suburbs, and between whites and minorities, as the chart below shows:
The higher Affordable Housing Goals will disproportionately benefit minorities and city residents, helping to close the homeownership gap, Cuomo said.
In addition, the higher Affordable Housing Goals will help ease the crisis-level shortage of affordable housing documented by a HUD report issued in March. That report found that the number of families earning less than 50 percent of the area median income and either paying over half their incomes for rent or living in severely substandard housing remains at the record level of about 5.3 million
Verdict: Andrew Cuomo: Guilty of gross fiscal ineptitude leading to economic disaster; a clear and present danger to NY finances; sentenced to pay back from his campaign treasury all those "disproportionately benefited minorities and city residents," who Andrew Cuomo had claimed to help with his mortgages.
They'll need a strong Kool-aid for those who would nominate him for Governor.

CUOMO ANNOUNCES ACTION TO PROVIDE $2.4 TRILLION IN MORTGAGES FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING FOR 28.1 MILLION FAMILIES
See full chart of higher goals by metropolitan areaWASHINGTON - Housing and Urban Development Secretary Andrew Cuomo today announced a policy to require the nation's two largest housing finance companies to buy $2.4 trillion in mortgages over the next 10 years to provide affordable housing for about 28.1 million low- and moderate-income families.
Cuomo said the historic action by HUD raises the required percentage of mortgage loans for low- and moderate-income families that finance companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac must buy from the current 42 percent of their total purchases to a new high of 50 percent , a19 percent increase - in the year 2001. The percentage will first increase to 48 percent in 2000.
Commenting on the action, President Clinton said: "During the last six and a half years, my Administration has put tremendous emphasis on promoting homeowners and making housing more affordable for all Americans. Our housing programs and institutions have been a success. Today, the homeownership rate is at an all-time high, with more than 66 percent of all American families owning their homes. Today, we take another significant step. Raising the GSEs goals will help us generate increased momentum in addressing the nation's housing needs. I congratulate HUD Secretary Andrew Cuomo and the entire HUD team on their efforts in this important area."
"This action will transform the lives of millions of families across our country by giving them new opportunities to buy homes or move into apartments with rents they can afford," Cuomo said. "It will strengthen our economy and create jobs by stimulating more home construction, it will help ease the terrible shortage of affordable housing plaguing far too many communities, and it will help reduce the huge homeownership gap dividing whites from minorities and suburbs from cities."
The mortgage purchase requirement for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac - known as the Affordable Housing Goals - was last set by HUD in 1995, under a requirement mandated by Congress. The goals came up for renewal this year, and HUD had the choice of leaving them unchanged, lowering them, or raising them. In addition to helping low- and moderate-income families, the new initiative will also increase the affordable housing goals for loans made to underserved areas and will raise the goal for mortgages to benefit families with very low incomes.
Under the higher goals, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will buy an additional $488.3 billion in mortgages that will be used to provide affordable housing for 7 million more low- and moderate-income families over the next 10 years. Those new mortgages and families are over and above the $1.9 trillion in mortgages for 21.1 million families that would have been generated if the current goals had been retained.

The Andrew Cuomo Male Babushka Doll; See His Smiling Face
Cuomo announces for Governor with video saying, "Andrew Cuomo works for us ... for my business and for my family;" "I'm Andrew Cuomo, and I work for you;" and "Together, we can make New York great again. Let's get to work." And on his campaign website, which includes titles like "New York doesn't work," Cuomo calls for "honest, effective government."
If Cuomo wanted honest and effective government, why did and does he defend crooked NY Lawyers, crooked Judges and crooked State employees and not criminally prosecute them? Here follows a small sample of actions defended by Cuomo involving only the First Department of the NY Courts' Four Departments which were grouped together at ExposeCorruptCourts.blogspot.com

When Cuomo says he works for you and your family and business, what family/business is he referring to? The Colombian Lawyers Association, or the lawyers with actions against NY State who contributed to his campaign treasury, or Wall Street's Goldman, who he hasn't criminally prosecuted? After blowing away $1.2 trillion dollars, is Cuomo now going to tell us he learned something about government finances?
Is Cuomo telling us, he'll carry on his father's legacy, by not prosecuting Chief Judge Lippman and his Appellate buddy Judge Ramos for stealing $40 million dollars?
Andrew Cuomo is the male image on the NY babushka (matryoshkas) doll. Whereas in Russia, many began with Mikhail Gorbachev, then Leonid Brezhnev, then Nikita Khrushchev, Josef Stalin and finally the smallest, Vladimir Lenin, the NY doll begins with Andrew Cuomo's smiling face announcing for Governor and descends through Andrew's various incarnations to an ultimate depravity. Stay tuned here, as we look within the NY Cuomo Matryoshkas Doll.(sneak preview, A young Andrew nursing on the milk of corruption in the arms of the Eliot Spitzer doll)
Oh where, oh where is Andrew gone?
Oh where or where is our Andrew Cuomo gone?
Oh where, oh where can he be?
With his governor announcement time so shortly
and his camapign treasury so full;
Oh where, oh where can he be.
Paterson acts;
while Andrew dithers;
his legacy wanes;
as budget pains wax.
Poor Andrew, like Hamlet, suffers the arrows of outrageous spending excesses;
while waiting for his inherited acumen to arrive.
And what shall he do in the Federal court action;
be something for the People,
or something for the unions and nothing for a solution?
Oh where, oh where are you, Andrew?

Cuomo: Elect me and Discover My Budget Solution
MLK paraphrased: "Judge a man not on the color of his skin or his father's identity, but on the content of his character."
Is it time to sympathize with Gollum Cuomo? He's entitled as his legacy to be governor. He wants to be our messiah governor, restoring the legacy left by his father. What should he do with the hearing on the restraining order about the NY budget? Will he grant a personal hearing to the union bosses, if they or their attorneys contribute to his treasury and then purposely bungle the action on their behalf and blame it on the court. Or follow the directives of Gov. Paterson. How much money have union connected lawyers or unions contributed to his campaign treasury? Will he use his 11th Amendment Argument against a federal district court as having no jurisdiction as he did in federal action 08-cv-0259 and in so many other cases against NY State that he defended in federal court? Or is that argument reserved only for those who don't contribute to his treasury?
What is Gollum Cuomo's solution to the NY budget crisis? Must we wait until after he's governor to find out? Does Gollum Cuomo believe the voters of NY were happy with the Bush legacy presidency, and receptive to a Cuomo legacy governorship?
Please, Andrew Cuomo; forget the RING and your childhood silver spoon; tell us your budget solution and how it is different from your proclamation to give $1.2 trillion dollars in mortgages to those without resources to pay them back ?

Cuomo Bathes In His Own Hypocrisy In Buffalo
In Buffalo, the bully, Cuomo, has grabbed all the 'pay to play' marbles for himself, because his rules are for others and not for himself, as he is predestined by his father's legacy. Comptroller, Thomas P. DiNapoli, learned about Cuomo's "do as I say, not as I do." When will Cuomo appoint an independent prosecutor to probe his office's and his personal dealings with Global Strategies Group?
Doesn't the quote, "Today's action is yet more evidence that kickbacks and corruption contaminated the Retirement Fund," said Robert Khuzami, director of the SEC' Division of Enforcement," apply equally to Cuomo's campaign funds which are kickbacks and corruption to Cuomo and his office and are received from attorneys with actions opposed to NY State's interests. (described in the prior blog post, seen just below, dated 4/27/20100)
Andrew bathes in the Buffalo News headline, "Cuomo widens probe of pay to play schemes," when he should have apologized "mea culpa" for his own pay to play indirect payment scheme.

Two Faces As Cuomo Changes Pay To Play To Indirect Payment
"Follow the money" or "The best candidate that money can buy."
My friend, Joe, enlightened me decades earlier that for great service and a good table, the time to tip the maitre d' and then your waiter is when you first meet each. Does this apply elsewhere in New York?
Andrew Cuomo is the multi-faceted candidate, with a smiling face for everybody. Andrew Cuomo's face towards the People on his web site say Cuomo wants, "to eliminate pay to play campaign contributions." Another face of Andrew Cuomo looks at his donation forms, where "contributors [are asked] to sign a statement saying they have no “matter” pending with him. That rule “does not extend to attorneys representing persons or entities with matters before the NYS Attorney General’s office.”
"Contributors to Cuomo include a who's who of law firms and their attorneys. In addition to Boies, Patterson Belknap, Paul Weiss, Sullivan & Cromwell, Skadden Arps, Kramer Levin, Mayer Brown and O'Melveny & Myers are named in the article as contributors or event sponsors."
The People have Cuomo's and his contributing attorneys' assurances that said attorneys would never give money, if they thought it would benefit themselves or their clients, "We do not think that the attorney general of New York would make it any easier for lawyers or cut any slack for their clients because of the lawyers’ prior campaign contributions,” said Arthur Culvahouse Jr., the law firm’s chair, who was counsel to President Ronald Reagan in the 1980s. “That was not our thinking in 2006 or now. Indeed, as officers of the court we would not contribute to a candidate if we thought that were the case.”
Cuomo wants to eliminate direct pay to play. The People are assured that no NY attorneys would ever act as cash conduits for their clients in an indirect pay to play scheme. Check out the NY court and lawyer reality show to see our honest judges and lawyers in action. and for the 98,750 exceptions to court/lawyer honesty.
Andrew, a smiling face for everybody? There will be no indirect pay to play through attorneys? What will my measly single vote buy?
Cuomo Announces His Success Against Espada At Liar's Club
“Our government teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy." ~Louis D. Brandeis (Supreme Court Justice, 1856-1941)
News From Liar's Club House Journal, a.k.a. NY Times ("All the lies fitted into print") : Andrew Cuomo spoke at the Liar's Club, right after someone else said, "he was the biggest liar." Then, Cuomo announced his magnificent civil suit against the uppity Senator Pedro Espada who finagled to become majority leader.
Now, as not reported in the Liar's Club House Journal: Senator Espada has asked, why didn't Cuomo file criminal charges? Espada is right. Cuomo's civil suit won't be resolved until after Cuomo hopes he's governor. And worse, the money which could have gone into the State Treasury from a successful NY RICO prosecution of Pedro Espada now cannot go toward NY's Budget needs. As described in prior posts here, Espada's alleged crime represents just 0.001% of the fraud (potential RICO money for the NY Treasury?) involved in federal TARP program's "assets." The Federal TARP program, supposedly, was to remove those toxic mortgage assets from our financial system, which were generated from Cuomo's Actions as Federal HUD Secretary. But, those Toxic assets are still there. That federal TARP should be competing for the lie of the year 2008.
Meanwhile, while "Nero" Cuomo's NY State is burning from budget shortfalls, Cuomo worries that the plants at the Botanical Gardens could use more watering, er, sorry (lying is not my forte), Pedro Espada needs to face this civil suit. Cuomo's action against Espada is either too little or too late, or a part of Cuomo's "mating" ritual display to become Governor. Steve Levy, NY Governor Candidate , sniffed a stench and asked why Cuomo ignored all the other corrupt Senators and Assemblymen? And why does Cuomo ignore the $40 million dollar fraud involving the Chief Judge, Lippman, and Judge Ramos, when he and his staff's work has already done for them, because the witnesses and papers are already available for a Grand Jury and a Trial.
Please, Andrew "Gollum" Cuomo, your NY TARP (Toxic Attorneys and Reprobates Protector) covering up NY corruption may serve your needs to shakedown and protect corruption, but not doesn't serve ours. And Gollum Cuomo, if you want "The Ring," earn it.

The Tale of 2 Cuomo TARPS Ends, Sequels Begin
Abraham Lincoln, "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time."
The Tale of 2 Cuomo TARPS final comedy act ended copycat from "the sheriff raids the whorehouse," yesterday 4/22/2010, as Eric Holder's boss said he is seeking to up the number of deputies overseeing the action. Sadly many in the audience didn't see the earlier scene where the scoundrel (Madam) and Sheriff Holder's boss discussed the whole performance at least four times and Holder's boss failed to throw"the filthy lucre of a million dollars" back to the scoundrels.

http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/Obama-should-return-Wall-Street_s-money-91850159.html
At the same time, the Cuomo as sheriff act with Senator Espada became tangled and continued around the corner, following Shakespeare's, "what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive".
Steve Levy said concerning Cuomo as sheriff, “But it is interesting that even with Mr. Monserrate, who has been dumped out of the Senate, you know, there are a lot of other senators and assemblymen who have done some pretty shaky things.” and “And there seems to be some selective enforcement regarding where they come down on this – not to say that what those other gentlemen did or alleged to have done was good stuff.”

The Tale of 2 Cuomo TARPS, Act 2, How The Big Ones Got Away
From Gilbert and Sullivan, "Things aren't what they seem, skim milk masquerades as cream."
In yesterday's 4/21/2010 act performed for the gullible masses, Andrew Cuomo and Eric Holder played their duet version of "the sheriff raids the whorehouse," with both going after NY Senator Espada, who Democrats have targeted for replacement, while letting the big ones get away.
http://pressrepublican.com/new_today/x563627699/Feds-raid-NY-state-senators-Bronx-clinic
Not that Espada isn't deserving, it's just that while the big fish school (Goldman Sachs) is swimming right by, Cuomo and Holder can only pull out the bloated little fish floating on the surface.
Do either Cuomo or Holder believe they would have a difficult job convincing a jury that the derivatives/securities generated by Goldman Sachs were just a scheme to sell mortgages they knew were almost valueless or a fraud? Mr. Cuomo, have you seen article below about how close the Democrats and Senator Schumer and Obama are to Goldman Sachs?
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0410/36118.html
Warning for Eric Holder, Obama, NY Times acolytes: please skip to next paragraph to avoid waking to a different reality. CNBC has calmed nervous Goldman workers; Holder has conflicting evidence; this may be dismissed or settled with a token fine. It's just "the sheriff raiding the whorehouse,"show trial to fool the gullible. The Espada action is the other diversion to make you think they're doing something about NY corruption, instead of Democrat retribution for the uppity Espada manipulating their system to advance himself. It's necessary, but so is the prosecution of Senator Sampson for demanding multiple $50 thousand dollar bribes for access to his office, which is not being prosecuted.
http://www.cnbc.com/id/36685026
Please, Mr. Cuomo and Mr. Holder, look ahead and note that Goldman Sachs wants to generate more profit from creating derivatives/securities for a US Cap and Trade market, even though, The European Union found in Europe's Cap and Trade, about 90% of the underlying Cap and Trade transactions were frauds. (Will the sub prime mortgage's TARP be repeated with Goldman Cap and Trade derivatives/securities?)
With 1.2 trillion dollars missing with sub prime mortgages, isn't Espada's millions just 0.001% of the TARP like losses? Mr. Cuomo and Mr. Holder, keep your eyes on the big fish (a trillion dollars) and let your lackeys go after Espada. And while some lackeys are pursing Espada, who likely may not be reelected, have your other lackeys use the evidence available from the site below to eliminate the corruption of Chief Judge Lippman and Judge Ramos who would continue in office while their 40 million dollar fraud (6 times larger than Espada's) which was reported to the FBI and the US attorney for the Southern District of NY, Preet Bharara and has been ignored by Cuomo and Holder.

And please, Mr.Cuomo, wake up and smell the taxes that Goldman's beneficiary, Chuck Schumer, wants Banks to pass on to the People.

The recent Pew poll showed 80% of the People don't trust government. Mr. Cuomo, do your part to change that. While Thursday 4/24's main act is playing with Holder's boss, you need to announce your investigation of Goldman Sachs for fraud in their sub prime derivatives/securities. You must sound the alarm of the danger of their proposed Cap and Trade derivatives/securities and your opposition to a tax on banks passed on to the People.
The People's message: No more dog and pony diversion acts, Mr.Cuomo. Lift your TARP: we have no trust (80%); where's the prosecution for the missing trillion?; the derivative frauds?; crooked judges?; "the sheriff raids the whorehouse" is a tired old act, no more excuses and no more taxes.
In yesterday's 4/21/2010 act performed for the gullible masses, Andrew Cuomo and Eric Holder played their duet version of "the sheriff raids the whorehouse," with both going after NY Senator Espada, who Democrats have targeted for replacement, while letting the big ones get away.
http://pressrepublican.com/new_today/x563627699/Feds-raid-NY-state-senators-Bronx-clinic
Not that Espada isn't deserving, it's just that while the big fish school (Goldman Sachs) is swimming right by, Cuomo and Holder can only pull out the bloated little fish floating on the surface.
Do either Cuomo or Holder believe they would have a difficult job convincing a jury that the derivatives/securities generated by Goldman Sachs were just a scheme to sell mortgages they knew were almost valueless or a fraud? Mr. Cuomo, have you seen article below about how close the Democrats and Senator Schumer and Obama are to Goldman Sachs?
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0410/36118.html
Warning for Eric Holder, Obama, NY Times acolytes: please skip to next paragraph to avoid waking to a different reality. CNBC has calmed nervous Goldman workers; Holder has conflicting evidence; this may be dismissed or settled with a token fine. It's just "the sheriff raiding the whorehouse,"show trial to fool the gullible. The Espada action is the other diversion to make you think they're doing something about NY corruption, instead of Democrat retribution for the uppity Espada manipulating their system to advance himself. It's necessary, but so is the prosecution of Senator Sampson for demanding multiple $50 thousand dollar bribes for access to his office, which is not being prosecuted.

The Tale of The Two Cuomo TARPs Opens in NYC
Memorandum to Andrew Cuomo and the NY Times
This Thursday, US AG Eric Holder's imitation of “the sheriff raids the whorehouse,” civil lawsuit against Goldman Sachs will be the trumpeted act by his boss in NYC, but, Mr. Cuomo could steal the show. Here's your script, Mr. Cuomo, you lift your TARP (Toxic Attorneys and Reprobates Protector) protecting the reprobates at Goldman Sachs and you could propose to remedy some of the financial losses of about 1.2 trillion dollars in the Federal TARP (Terrible Assets Removal Program). Although those federal TARP losses were the direct result of your proclamation as HUD Secretary requiring at least 1.2 trillion dollars to be sub prime loans, Mr. Cuomo, you could heroically recover much of those losses after a criminal conviction of Goldman Sachs.
You begin with an immediate indictment,using Penal Law § 190.65 Scheme to defraud in the first degree.1.A person is guilty of a scheme to defraud in the first degree when he or she: (a) engages in a scheme constituting a systematic ongoing course of conduct with intent to defraud ten or more persons or to obtain property from ten or more persons by false or fraudulent pretenses, representations or promises, and so obtains property from one or more of such persons; for your initial Grand Jury presentation and the resulting publicity/adoration. And after obtaining documents used in federal civil action file additional charges against Goldman Sachs as a criminal entity under NY Penal Laws - (460.00 - 460.80) ENTERPRISE CORRUPTION.
Neither Mr. Cuomo nor the NY Times should've been taken in by “the sheriff raids the whorehouse” federal posturing by US AG, Eric Holder, which allows Goldman Sachs to pay millions in civil fines while taking billions in profits. Simple arithmetic with large numbers shows making billions in profits while paying millions in fines is equivalent to a 0.1% tax(penalty) which any business, “corrupt or honest,” would readily pay to get government off their backs.
Mr. Cuomo you could with a NY State criminal action take back a hundreds of times larger percentage of the losses in the federal TARP program from Goldman Sachs.
I hope that you are not lured as in the following quote,”Drudge has a nice big headline about the nearly $1 million that 0bama received as campaign contributions from Goldman Sachs too....Welcome to Chicago, D.C.” Nor should you be swayed by all the Goldman contributions to Senator Schumer and his related campaigns. If you want “The Ring,” you must do what is necessary. Please leave “Chicago Politics" for Chicago. Or you could use this post to shakedown Goldman Sachs for your campaign.
Eric Holder has acted his “the sheriff raids whorehouse” part and could take a 0.1% penalty from Goldman Sachs. What about beginning with a hundred times 0.1% or 10% as your staring heroic act in “The Tale of the Two Cuomo TARPs”?
Part 2 of this post will be tomorrow
What's hiding under your TARP, Andrew Cuomo and NY Judges, with no video record?
Better Laws #2
Memorandum to Andrew Cuomo, Senator John Sampson, and the NY Times:
Memorandum to Andrew Cuomo, Senator John Sampson, and the NY Times:
The system stinks. We need remedy now.
See ExposecorruptCourts.blogspot.com for enlightenment.
Andrew Cuomo, what hiding under your TARP that fears video exposure? Why doesn't NY Times demand videos of all court proceedings? Senator Sampson, doesn't your black community want video recording of all court proceedings and don't they know the courts cannot be trusted? Wasn't OJ Simpson's “not guilty verdict,” in part because the black community wanted to send a message about untrusted courts? Why shouldn't the people see what goes on in their courts? Why is youtube, or “Acorn like” exposure feared?
Maybe paraphrasing old wisdom would help: “The fear of the the Lord (the People seeing the video) is the beginning of wisdom (honest courts).”
Honest judges and equitable court actions have been a concern since Moses said over 3,000 years ago, "At that time I instructed the judges, 'You must hear the cases of your fellow Israelites and the foreigners living among you. Be perfectly fair in your decisions”
Translated for our NY lawyers and judges: “no favoritism for fellow judges or fellow lawyers and respect and treat fairly the foreigners, i.e. non-lawyers or non- judges.”
NY Supreme Court Judge David Demerest in Essex County action 974/2006, said from the bench, “If you want the law, the rules, and the Constitution followed you have to go the Court of Appeals. In his court the law, the rules and the Constitution are not followed.” A video of Judge David Demerest, on line would end his arrogance. So many groups have cried out for court watchers to sit in on court sessions to protect vulnerable victims from brazen judicial misconduct in courts. Replace these court watchers with video.
Video all NY court appearances with time displayed and make it necessary for the jurisdiction and validity of all court proceedings that such videos exist and are available. The videos of protected proceedings under our present law could be kept protected, but those videos must be kept available for Appellate proceedings, continuing proceedings by same parties or criminal proceedings if required.
First have a good laugh about our present system: A NY judge reviews his own court transcripts for appeals and makes “corrections” and removals as (s)he sees needed before appellate review
Then, since none of the above, Cuomo, Sampson or NY Times have acted, I'll show how we can change our NY Laws:
Here is present law: § 4. Sittings of courts to be public. The sittings of every court within this state shall be public,and every citizen may freely attend the same, except that in all proceedings and trials in cases for divorce, seduction, abortion, rape, assault with intent to commit rape, criminal sexual act, bastardy or filiation,the court may,in its discretion, exclude therefrom all persons who are not directly interested therein, excepting jurors, witnesses, and officers of the court
Here's the Revised law (changes in red): § 4. Sittings of courts to be public. The sittings of every court within this state shall be public,and every citizen may freely attend the same and must be recorded on publicly available time stamped video where the words of each participant can be clearly heard and such video be part of the records of said court, except that in all proceedings and trials in cases for divorce, seduction, abortion, rape, assault with intent to commit rape, criminal sexual act, bastardy or filiation, the court may,in its discretion, exclude therefrom all persons who are not directly interested therein, excepting jurors, witnesses, and officers of the court, and also public access may be excluded to such videos, except for Appellate purposes or use in continuing litigation by the same parties in all proceedings and trials.
a. the loss of public access to videos required hereunder shall render any such unrecorded proceedings as not part of the record of the court
b. any court proceedings without video recording as required in this law would remove the jurisdiction of any court in this State and would be official misconduct by those who so acted.
Please Andrew Cuomo, Senator John Sampson and the NY Times move into the modern age, remedy the corruption, and change the law. Now.
Cuomo's Silver Spoon Costs Over a Trillion Dollars
What is a trillion dollars? It is one million packages each individually containing a million dollars. Andrew "Gollum" Cuomo's quest for "The Ring," produced more than a trillion dollars in costs. Yesterday's blog post here reported Cuomo had a mere 59 billion missing at HUD which trifles compared to the losses when, "Cuomo required Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to buy $2.4 trillion in mortgages over a 10-year span, " of which more than 50% were to be sub prime.
Doing the arithmetic for the "financially" challenged Cuomo, 50% 0f 2.4 = 1.2, means he planned only $1.2 trillion in sub prime mortgage devastation.
http://www.setexasrecord.com/news/225182-duke-prof-says-ag-cuomo-helped-cause-financial-crisis
Thank God, Cuomo's goals described in his press release as HUD Secretary are not yet reached, "CUOMO ANNOUNCES ACTION TO PROVIDE $2.4 TRILLION IN MORTGAGES FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING"
http://archives.hud.gov/news/1999/pr99-131.html
Andrew Cuomo's "Gollum" quest combined with a "silver spoon syndrome" left a wake of financial devastation whose terrible costs were passed on to the People of NY.
All the job losses which funded "Gollum" Spitzer's quest, were then continued by his replacement, "Gollum" Cuomo, which kept billions of dollars from the NY economy and so many jobs out of NY. This is the direct cause of the loss in NY State Income Tax Revenues now afflicting NY and generating the budget crisis. (see 4/10 post on this blog)
If you don't remember a silver spoon in your mouth and a legacy governorship in your pocket, you must keep both "Gollum" Spitzer and "Gollum" Cuomo distant from control of your money or your taxes.
But Cuomo's above reported macro financial malfeasances, are dwarfed in the number of afflicted individuals from his micro malfeasances. Cuomo's used his TARP to hide State-wide Court corruption which devastated so many individuals and our State's economy. Would an honest attorney general cover up and defend a corrupt Chief Judge and Appellate Judge who stole $40 million dollars? Would an honest attorney general cover up and defend the corruption in Westchester Surrogate Court where $250 million dollars is stolen from the heirs of Tom Carvel (ice cream) and distributed among a corrupt cabal of lawyers and judges?
See ExposeCorruptCourts.blogspot.com
I could replace "decency" with "honesty" and ask Andrew Cuomo the same words spoken before Senator McCarthy in 1954, "You've done enough. Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?" But I know the words would fall on the closed ears of "Gollum" entitled to the highest office because he born better than I and is convinced of what is owed to him.

We Lost Or Cuomo's Personal and Public Finance Balances
Andrew Cuomo didn't learn personal financial profit and shakedown tactics from Eliot Spitzer. Cuomo taught himself while HUD (Housing and Urban Development) Secretary under Clinton. Cuomo exchanged his immature compassion for the poor where he said, "(Cuomo) saw a broken pipe literally spewing human waste on the children's playground," for his later wiser compassionate statement about that same Landlord, Andrew Farkas, "(Farkas) never saw one of the properties he managed,"
Beforehand, it was reported, "The publicity-driven HUD chief (Cuomo)so hyperventilated at press conferences about the (Farkas)scam that a federal judge had to put a stop to all the heavy breathing."
Thereafter, "(Andrew Farkas) ponied up over $2 million for front running attorney general... that includes $1.2 million in salary....paid Cuomo in 2004 and 2005." And "an undisclosed amount Island (Farkas' company) paid Cuomo in 2006"
Beforehand, Cuomo had charged in a federal lawsuit, "Farkas' then company, Insignia Financial Services, of paying $7.6 million in kickbacks to owners of 17 federally subsidized projects that Insignia managed."
Thereafter, Cuomo knew who paid his bills,"Cuomo's earnings tripled when he went to work at Island (Farkas' company)."
http://www.villagevoice.com/2006-08-29/news/andrew-cuomo-s-2-million-man/
Andrew Cuomo had taken a lemon from sewage and changed it into lemonade in a golden cup.
How Cuomo handled public finance, "HUD had lost track of $59 billion"
"In fiscal year 1998, HUD had “undocumentable adjustments” of $17 billion: that is, $17 billion could not be accounted for. In fiscal 1999, HUD announced that it required $59 billion of “undocumentable adjustments” to balance the books and that it would not provide audited financial statements as required by law."
But the "compassionate" Cuomo did not want those taking any of the $59 billion to suffer a government witch hunt and so, "Cuomo did not order the HUD IG to investigate the reason for the missing billions or to try to get the money back."
http://thekomisarscoop.com/2006/08/fees-for-our-friends-the-scandal-that-taints-andrew-cuomo/
Cuomo was so proud that he used our $200,000 to tell us about himself, "in the last day of the Clinton administration, HUD spent $200,000 on reports ... promoting then-Secretary Andrew Cuomo's political career."
Causing a petty response from Rep. Robert Ney, R-Ohio, "These funds could have provided an entire year's worth of housing assistance for hundreds of poor families across the country."
http://www.planetizen.com/node/3323No, thank you, Andrew Cuomo. Your costs were too high.
A Cuomo Legacy with a CAP (Cuomo Amnesty Program), when will we ever learn?
Is the Governorship of New York a Cuomo legacy gift? Is Andrew entitled by birth? In the long historical record of children replacing parents, only a few wise leaders did not promote their spawn.
Three thousand year ago, it was recorded of the Prophet Samuel,
"Now it came to pass when Samuel was old that he made his sons judges over Israel. The name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judges in Beersheba. But his sons did not walk in his ways; they turned aside after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice."
Does Andrew Cuomo pervert justice with his TARP? Did lawyers with actions against the State who filled his campaign treasury cause Andrew Cuomo to turn aside from his duties for the People and pervert justice?
Two thousand years ago, there were the legacy Roman Emperors, Caligulia and Nero. Did Andrew Cuomo burn down our economy as reported in Village Voice, "He turned the Federal Housing Administration mortgage program into a sweetheart lender with sky-high loan ceilings and no money down, and he legalized what a federal judge has branded "kickbacks" to brokers that have fueled the sale of overpriced and unsupportable loans "?
http://www.villagevoice.com/content/printVersion/541234
What turned our country's founders against inherited office and appointed nobility judges?
What about the recent legacy office for, "read my lips"?
Or is it the Peter Principle at work? Was Andrew Cuomo already incompetent as HUD Secretary under President Clinton? In 2008, Andrew Cuomo and his staff reported on ExposeCorruptCourts.blogspot.com,
"The Amnesty 'window' will be narrow," says the source. 'Andrew's pretty serious about a real shake up, and he will not give state workers, including judges, more than 60 days to 'come clean.' The plan, dubbed 'CAP' (Cuomo's Amnesty Program) by AG lawyers, is said to specifically include all attorneys admitted to practice in New York, whether or not they are state employed. 'Heads will role once the Amnesty Program ends"
http://exposecorruptcourts.blogspot.com/2008/06/ag-andrew-cuomo-considering-amnesty-for.html
Did Andrew drop the ball and throw the game because of his incompetence and timidity? Or did venality and greed from craving "The Ring," lead to Andrew's shake down to fill up his campaign treasury and keep the TARP, he inherited from Spitzer, covering up the acts of crooked lawyers, judges, politicians from view?
Please, Mario Cuomo, spare us from this part of your legacy. And Andrew, forget the "Ring" and begin your CAP on April 15, 2010.
