Trader’s Narrative

So basically a small group of bankers (Summers, Paulson, Rubin) that saunter back and forth between private and government jobs, along with regulators (Greenspan, Bernanke, Geithner, SEC, etc) - who don’t really regulate - created a situation where the US taxpayer would foot the bill when the bank’s had finished their shenanigans. Check out the interview with William K. Black, the article about Brooksley Born’s attempt to regulate the CDS market, and other similar articles. Oh and by the way, Fannie and Freddie are about to pay $210 million in bonuses.
