Just so everyone knows, I’m most likely flying solo for most of the week. Perry is swamped this week as he is under heavy interrogation regarding the collapse of Wall St.
Apparently, he had a lot to do with it. In 2006 alone, he put 32 families that averaged $21,400 in annual income, into houses averaging $1.2 million in value.
“It broke my heart to see these people not living in their dream homes, so I made it happen,” Perry said in a written statement to OTR. “I make things happen, it’s what I do. If making things happen is a crime, then slap the handcuffs on me because I’m going to jail. I mean really…don’t we all just want a piece of the American dream? I think we do. I think we do.”
Not long after this statement, the handcuffs were slapped on.

Treasury secretary Hank Paulsen said that he lauded Perry’s effort to make good on his mistakes, but hinted that his cleanup methods were a bit misguided.
“Obviously these mortgages that Mr. Perry authorized are terrible,” Paulsen said. “And while we appreciate Perry’s efforts to make good on his mistakes, throwing Perry Dollars into the market was just not an effective solution. The fact that Lehman Brothers, Wachovia, AIG and others accepted these Perry Dollars is a big reason why we are where we are now.”
Perry will be attempting to correct his mistakes for much of the week. The good news is, you still have me and when Perry’s done, we’ll all have jobs again.
