Things have not really changed much since the thirties.
Quite an apt term really

    No, it is just that bankers have got much more highly paid and unlike the thirties, they can expect to be bailed for their mistakes and expect the masses to contribute to their outlandish bonuses.

      Mike - You are so right. I did some research recently in a niche I'm working in and was astounded at the similarities between 1929-34 and what we're seeing now.

      Funny thing is I wrote an article about it and haven't published it because I don't like the facts I found and the article I WROTE makes me uncomfortable

        Kay,

        I'd be interested in reading what you found if/when you get it out there.

    I love the story about the creation of BOA that they cover in the article... My father always told it to me growing up!
