  Could you save us the swipes against Republicans and restrict your comments/articles to foreclosure?

  Screaming makes for intelligent discourse. But you do what you gotta do. I’ll go elsewhere for foreclosure news.

  Fraudclosure does not operate in a vacuum, it is part of a corrupt legal and political system. In my view Rick Scott is a criminal who beat the rap as CEO of Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corp which was accused of bilking Medicare while simultaneously handing over kickbacks and perks to physicians who steered patients to its hospitals. Scott repeatedly took the “Fifth” during his deposition and refused to testify. The company did not fight the charges. In 2000 HCA pleaded guilty to 14 felonies and paid a total of $1.7 billion in criminal and civil fines.

  Subsequently Rick Scott spent a record-breaking $62.3 million of his own cash on the gubernatorial race. Funny how republicans criticize government, but pay huge fortunes to buy government office, and take billions from government programs like Medicare.

  If republicans are really against government, why don’t they go into the private sector and earn an honest living without taking government payments or contracts?

  Thanks Matt for screaming about the most corrupt official this state has ever seen!
