Truth be told, this has happened at every major “too big to fail” bank.

The true story of Freddie/Fannie that the MSM ignored went all the way to the hallways of the white house and congress. Big time rat politicians got great jobs - cooked the books - and got huge bonuses.

Our children were left with the tab. It made Enron look like chump change.

Though the failed main stream "news" media failed to tell the story, history will. It's going to be a long, ugly, convoluted story. People are going to ask one another, "What in the world were people way back then thinking?

Mass psychosis, maybe?
