We should be taking action right now against all these people.Seems to me that America is out of the know and far to comfortable with where everything stands.It’s time to take action not sit on the sidelines.

Gretchen is my hero. Thanks for posting these interviews with her,including the older ones. She uses the word “reform” often; perhaps we need a Reform Party, a party whose candidates have no Wall Street backgtround or associations and are serious about ending TBTF. I liked her line about the banks “seeking to privatize profits and socialize losses.” That describes TARPS really well! The banks end up with bonuses, their stocks goup, and taxpayers are stuck with the losses.

Everyone has a pretty good idea why American regulators aren’t “getting tough.” I prefer Abigail Field’s take on why regulators outright aid and abet this massive criminal conspiracy. If the British are getting “tough” on their mobsters, why no immediate arrests as would be the case for common street thieves? Also, US Banks are heavily involved, which Gretchen doesn’t explicitly allege. We know our Justice Department’s track record with these fine folk. There’s enough to book all of ’em right now!
