Robert Kuttner (@rkuttner), co-founder & co-editor or The American Prospect magazine, to discuss the proposed settlement of the bank mortgage fiasco and the Obama administration. Use this post as today’s thread and click thru for a show UPDATE.Click for link to InterOccupy conference call info.

Robert Kuttner talks about whether Obama’s Financial Fraud Unit will have any real impact in comparison with the fraud unit that’s been in place since 2009.  What’s motivating Obama at this point and why does he want AG Schneiderman on the job? Plus, Sam talks about corporate write-offs and their effect on corporate taxes, which are at their lowest levels since the 70’s.  Also, why Catholics are feeling infringed upon when it comes to employee medical insurance, ALEC with a big OOPS, Gingrich is anti-austerity and of course, Sam’s sorrow over the Patriot’s loss last night.  Your calls and IMs.
