IOW, 'interconnected' means a highly leveraged fuster cluck so that the books are cooked and the CEO's, board members and large stock holders skim anything that may resemble profit in the form of huge dividend payouts and bonuses?

That way the gov can skim its cut and the polticoho's can smile telling the public that 'the economy is just fine'?

Seems to be the case in the the US needs an economic scheme on paper to manage its debt since w e manufacture little more than charts and food for domestic consumption.
