Re: oneguycoding Re: Seems appropriate

".....but bankers and assorted wall street financiers still haven't paid for what they did in 2008....." LOL! If they had done something illegal then you can bet your pension that Obambi and chums would have rushed to court. They loved blaming the crash on "The Bankers" because it absolved them of all blame for buying votes with their broken sub-prime mortgage policies, starting with the Community Reinvestment Act (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_housing_bubble). But there was nothing illegal in trading in securities, including mortgage debt, and still nothing illegal in doing so even today. So there was plenty of bluster about "criminals on Wall Street" but no desire amongst Obambi's chums to actually take any of them to court and have their policies examined.
