When politicians from both parties fail to step in and act like adults with shady industries like this, what else should we expect? Was it cowardice or was it a real belief in the system’s ability to bring back the economy? It didn’t come as a surprise to see Bush protect the bankers but it’s hard to swallow Obama’s continuation of the same policies including some of the same people. Rather than “change” is the typical Washington model of kicking the can down the road and hoping the next meltdown happens when the next person is in office.

So much for Wall Street feeling the pain if their stock prices drop. The high-priced scam artists have done it again.
