Disappointed in "Too Big to Fail?"
I was.

Watch a repeat in June of Frontline's "The Warning". According to the PBS site, repeating on June 14, 2011, but check your local listings.

(snip)

Now, with many of the same men who shut down Born in key positions in the Obama administration, The Warning reveals the complicated politics that led to this crisis and what it may say about current attempts to prevent the next one.

"It'll happen again if we don't take the appropriate steps," Born warns. "There will be significant financial downturns and disasters attributed to this regulatory gap over and over until we learn from experience."

(end snip)

Know this, the derivatives market is still not being regulated. Greenspan: The market will take care of everything = Chauncey Gardner: All will be well in the garden.



Know this about Alan Greenspan:

Shortly after Atlas Shrugged was published in 1957, Mr. Greenspan wrote a letter to The New York Times to counter a critic’s comment that “the book was written out of hate.” Mr. Greenspan wrote: "Atlas Shrugged is a celebration of life and happiness. Justice is unrelenting. Creative individuals and undeviating purpose and rationality achieve joy and fulfillment. Parasites who persistently avoid either purpose or reason perish as they should."

2. made paulson TOO reasonable,
and the bankers need to look greedier. tho, james wood clearly played bad/stupid. yes, the great greenspan. i didn't buuy that after the big bush tax cut. a better view of how we got here was kevin philip american theocracy. sadly he put the most important part after the HORRIBLY BORING middle about religion shit. 2006 but a must read. even wall street call greenspan bubble-boy.
