Something Stinks in Washington, D.C.

``In a powerful new ad campaign launched this week, Astani Enterprises points out the perverse incentive that the Federal Deposit Insurance Company (FDIC) has created for the hedge funds tasked with managing the assets of failed banks. The more seized assets a hedge fund keeps on its books, the more taxpayer dollars the hedge funds receive in "management fees." While these hedge funds profit, more Americans are thrown out of work, more construction projects are junked, and communities across America continue to struggle.''
