Wall Street created a horrible mess, and then we all had to stand back while the bankers and government policymakers salvaged what was left of our teetering financial system. Somehow, we were supposed to feel grateful that things didn't turn out worse. 

What a joke....”we all had to stand back...”

really? Stand back? The taxpayer bailed these pigs out to the tune of hundreds of billions and that is termed “standing back”?

they should’ve been left to die...instead we got 10 years of a market that was run by the government, for the government.

banksters are a scourge on society, and the sooner the people wake up to that reality, the better.
