It was Bush's deregulation drive in Texas that made it possible for Enron to exist and make billions price gouging, totally without government oversight. It was Bush's FERC (with its Ken Lay hand-picked chair) that stood idly by last spring while big energy companies raised the price of electricity in California a thousand-fold. You think investigators aren't going to revisit that phony 'energy crisis'? It was Ken Lay and his cronies who wrote the Bush energy plan, hoping to be allowed to continue their highway robbery on a national if not global scale. Lawsuits have already been filed to get the records of that highly secretive little government-corporate cabal. If you don't want to hear about what sort of slimy incest has been going on between this administration and its big-money greedhead contributors, I suggest you put your hands over your ears and sing 'tra-la-la' for the next year or so, because we've just got started.
Now, if you'll go back to the Clinton administration, you will see a $3 billion power plant project approved just 4 days after Enron made a $100,000 contribution to the DNC. Now that's what I call constituent service.
You'll also see that Mack McLarty went to work for Enron and you'll see that Ken Lay slept in the Lincoln Bedroom, as well as golfing with William Jefferson. Ken Lay was an energy advisor to the Clinton Whitehouse. Was he a "crony" back then or did he become one on January 20, 2001?
Good luck with the investigation.
