Wall Street Crime of the Century

The Wall Street Crime of the Century was repackaging junk, getting the rating agencies to relabel it as AAA and then selling it as gold. Old story--buy cheap ,sell dear--with the added element of fraud. Obama never pursued the Crime of the Century. He was, sad to say, part of the cover-up--by putting Summers and Geithner in place-he put Wall Street's lobbyists on his team.

And you can't blame the Crime solely on Bush's efforts at deregulation. Bill Clinton signed the damned deregulation bill, Summers and Rubin were his henchmen.

We have a 2 party system here but they both are subservient to Wall Street.
