Let's see you or me get 16 acres of land- with taxpayers picking up the difference- for what I reckon to be a quarter (minimum) of it's real market value.

Please, stop spewing conspiracy propaganda: all this is public information. In addition, most of the parcel, as you have noticed, was bought by another firm.

Bringing in the martyred "taxpayers" into this is unbecoming.

TQ, untie your undies and read what's going on here. Ted Koppel picked up 16 acres of prime land because your federal government backed empty loans against it, and unloaded it on the cheap when the loans failed (at by my guess a 75% discount). I don't know about you, but I'm damn mad about having footed the bill (not about not hearing about the sale- what kind of a straw argument is that?).

Bill and Hillary Clinton had a little game going with the Madison Guaranty S&L where they overpaid for a parcel, had it reappraised by a friendly banker, sold it, bought it back, and so on. And when the S&L collapsed, the loans were 'backed by the government' so they had no reason to pay anything back. You're goddamn right this was a conspiracy-- tho I'm not saying this one was Koppel's (or Clinton's)

Bringing in the martyred "taxpayers" into this is unbecoming.

What's unbecoming is having to live in a country with gleeful sheep like you who aren't just willing to send your confiscated money to Washington, you'll drive it there and shovel it onto the pile.

Disgusting.
