"Michael Simmons helps clients structure complex financial transactions supporting innovative, public-private venture/asset management programs, focusing his efforts on loan and real estate privatization.
Mr. Simmons has served as counsel to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) privatization programs where he was the principal architect and author, within the Department’s Office of General Counsel, of VA’s "enhanced-use leasing" program. This innovative program takes under-utilized real estate under the department’s control and privatizes it through leases, for terms of up to 75 years. In exchange, private entities provide monetary reimbursement, improved space or goods and services."

5. Your VA house loan

now belongs to some loan shark:

Mr. Simmons had handled transactions involving 33 sales, with the disposal of over 300,000 loans and principal balances in excess of $22 billion.

VA sold the paper at a steep discount so that Junior could pad the books.

6. This is great. 'Privitization' will be

dead now thanks to this. And it will be the albatross around the GOP's necks for years to come.
