Battle on Wall Street Sad Symbol of Structural US Crisis
6 October 2010. By David Caploe PhD, Chief Political Economist, EconomyWatch.com. For long time, we have argued US enmeshed since 2000 in simultaneous crises in 6 major areas of public life: financial / economic / ideological / political / academic-intellectual / media. Thoroughgoing deterioration made clear by ugly fight between two TBTF groups: banks & insurance companies, arguing other shd pay for bad housing loans on which BOTH freely admit they consciously failed to do ANY due diligence. Even worse, each has found judges willing to buy their stories - even WITH admission of no due diligence. Story is pathetic, enraging, disgusting - & totally true. Sad indication of how once-great country has become an un-funny parody of its worst elements.
