Neil Bush Joins Ted Cruz’s Finance Team

[n2doc]

The younger brother of former President George W. Bush and failed presidential candidate Jeb Bush has joined Ted Cruz's national finance team. Neil Bush and his wife Maria were announced as the newest members of Cruz's backing team in a Tuesday press release from the Texan senator's campaign. Jeb Bush, meanwhile, has remained quiet about endorsing any candidates for the March 15 primary in Florida. "We are seeing incredible momentum around our campaign," Cruz said in the statement, which boasted of former Jeb, Rand Paul, and Rick Perry supporters joining his team.

2. There's a guy who should never be left alone with a checkbook...

All those lofty political aspirations came to a fatal crash in the fall of 1988, at the precise moment his father was poised to ascend to the presidency, when the Silverado Savings and Loan went belly up with Neil in the driver’s seat.

In these days of multi-billion dollar financial crimes by the likes of Enron, Tyco and WorldCom, the failure of a relatively small Colorado thrift may not seem like much. But Silverado came to symbolize the entire savings and loan debacle, which ended up costing the government more than $150 billion in bail out money. Many of these companies exploited the newly deregulated financial markets to lavish unsecured loans to company insiders or political favorites and rewarded company officers and directors with ostentatious salaries and benefits. When the thrifts collapsed, the directors and executives walked away unscathed, while small investors and account-holders were left out in the cold. Appropriately, the looting of the savings and loans hit Texas harder than most other states.

4. So now there is an open connection to BushCo.

And if Cruzer should just happen to win there will be a place in his administration for Jebbie. There's more going on behind the scenes that we won't find out about for a long time to come.

9. "My boys have a right to make a living!1" - said Poppy

Let's see, only the highlights of how the B.F.E.E. live off the public: Neil with the S&L bailout; Shrub with his various SEC evasions, not to mention whatever his pilot flying drug missions were; JEB Crow Shrub and his 1stGenCubanExiles partners scamming MediCARE and more recently (along with Neil) cashing in on "education" programs foisted onto school systems.

But, whoa, the various Shrubs picking CRUZ over former family pet RUBIO - scorned!1
