Exactly. There are quite a few crooks who also got golden parachutes in the mess. The axe of public rage now falls on everyone, but there is nothing anyone can do about that. It's only natural. When ordinary folks see their 401K-s depleted and hear stories of Madoff, mini-Madoffs, and AIG, it's only natural to assume all their money were all stolen by the crooks, especially since their money was managed by someone else and they only saw statements. In part true, as there has been a crook fest before Bush left and during his time. For the most part, false. The vast majority of the "money", or "investments" simply vanished into a post credit bubble black hole. 1. The 350 bln. is part of the package approved in September and signed by Bush, it's not new. But new strings are attached. 2. Obama's 787 bln. package is NOT directed at WS, it's going to main street. 3. The Fed is still doing stuff. Ben does not give the impression of a crook, thou. He is pursuing his theories in trying to manage post credit bubble/derivative collapse economy, which could be dangerous.
