"The Untouchables"

genkakugenkaku Northampton, Mass. U.S.A. Veteran
For those who may have missed it and may have some interest:

As usual, the Public Broadcast System's "Frontline" shows what decent journalism is all about with its program entitled "The Untouchables," a documentary that examines why not a single Wall Street executive has been criminally prosecuted for the 2008 meltdown for which they were responsible through the sale of bad mortgages. The Justice Department, like the crime lords it might have chased, has its, uh, reasons. Consumers lost hundreds of billions of dollars; Wall Street and bankers have paid mere billions in fines... talk about a successful business trade-off! The program is far more even-tempered than my assessment.

    and here I thought this was going to be a post about the Indian caste system but it's a political one..

    will not respond.. will not respond.
  • And the problem hasn't been fixed! After all that chaos, plunging the country into a near-Depression, the financial services industry hasn't been re-regulated. The regs that were thrown out in order to enable this mess haven't been reinstated. There's nothing stopping the banks and investment companies from doing this again! That's the really outrageous thing.

    Ha! I thought it was going to show a link between Al Capone/Elliot Ness and dharma. :D
