These shysters stole half or more of our collective life savings and then bought and conned our legislators into giving them a bailout which we will all pay for, every man, woman and child will be paying for this for decades. Nothing has changed in this industry. It is staggering and must be reigned in. When are the people going to wise up and start tossing incumbents out?While I agree that this is truly outrageous, it is a fraction of the estimated $3,000,000,000,000 that our adventures in Iraq and Afghanistan will cost http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/features/2008/04/stiglitz200804 and, at least, the bankers haven't been bombing, killing, and maiming Iraqis and Afghanis (and now Pakistanis, as well), making us a new generation of enemies. And that isn't even beginning to estimate the perhaps incalculable losses in American, British, and other "coalition" military and contractor lives and productivity, both on the books and off. The bankers are pikers when it comes to waste, fraud, and abuse. spl
