To summarize... the boys are all still alright! Wow, what a relief they they all have managed to continue to earn huge sums of money, all have resumed gambling with tax payer money, and setting up the world economy for another round of tip the dominoes! What a fabulous tale of do whatever you want, and never face any consequences! Note to Bernie Madoff: you apparently worked over the wrong crowd!

What the heck does that headline mean, the banks that almost crashed the economy. They did crash the economy. Really, really bad.

Bring back Glass Steagal -- if these K Street bankster lobbyists had not bribed their way into making sure that both the R's and D's along with Speaker of the HOuse Newt GingRICH pass the Financial Securities Modernzation Act repealing Glass Steagal (thanks Billy clinton) the world would be a different place today.

Great line-up, however I am not sure why Barney Frank and Chris Dodd are listed with this bunch of bad actors. The most outstanding fact is that none of these bad actors are in jail, or have had their ill-gotten gains clawed back, as they should.

We should return to anti-trust actions. Major investment banks should be broken up. These monsters are only good for the criminals at the top running them and in a sense dictating the policies of the United States.
