Excerpt from Land Credits: A Plea for the American Farmer Apparently I had nine months' vacation in sight for, bar ring an extra session, Congress would not meet again until December 6, following. Farm-credit legislation had been conspicuous before the Sixty-third Congress. The whole subject was postponed for the action of the Sixty-fourth Congress. I was disappointed in the recommendations of the Com missions which went abroad to study Rural Credits and I had reached the conclusion that Congress should not enact into law the Commission Bill, the Sub-committee Bill, or the Senate Committee Bill. I, therefore, decided I could best serve my constituents, my State; and my country by devoting the greater part of my vacation to the further study of the principles of land credit, and in preparing the result of my investigations for publication in book form. In my work, I have had access to all the information available at the National Capital. To establish the facts, I have quoted chiefly from the following works: Agri cultural Credit and Agricultural Cooperation in Germany, by J. R. Cahill, printed as Senate Document No. 17, Sixty third Congress; and from Agricultural Cooperation and Rural Credit in Europe, being the report of the United States and American Commissions, printed as Senate Docu ment No. 214, Sixty-third Congress. I have obtained much information from the study of Rural Credits by Hon. Myron T. Herrick, and hereby express my thanks to him and his publishers, D. Appleton Co.

The Financial Crisis Inquiry Report, published by the U.S. Government and the Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission in early 2011, is the official government report on the United States financial collapse and the review of major financial institutions that bankrupted and failed, or would have without help from the government. The commission and the report were implemented after Congress passed an act in 2009 to review and prevent fraudulent activity. The report details, among other things, the periods before, during, and after the crisis, what led up to it, and analyses of subprime mortgage lending, credit expansion and banking policies, the collapse of companies like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and the federal bailouts of Lehman and AIG. It also discusses the aftermath of the fallout and our current state. This report should be of interest to anyone concerned about the financial situation in the U.S. and around the world.THE FINANCIAL CRISIS INQUIRY COMMISSION is an independent, bi-partisan, government-appointed panel of 10 people that was created to "examine the causes, domestic and global, of the current financial and economic crisis in the United States." It was established as part of the Fraud Enforcement and Recovery Act of 2009. The commission consisted of private citizens with expertise in economics and finance, banking, housing, market regulation, and consumer protection. They examined and reported on "the collapse of major financial institutions that failed or would have failed if not for exceptional assistance from the government."News Dissector DANNY SCHECHTER is a journalist, blogger and filmmaker.
