<<That was the point I was making.........when taking people to court, where do you draw the line? If the average joe in banks was doing things illegally, do you prosecute them as well? Aren't they just as culpable as the people heading up the banks? They knew the stuff they were doing was illegal...........and yet, they signed off document after document.>> You know it is too big to fail and too big to jail. They will prosectue the little guy in a heartbeat, but hte biggest guys are untouchable. No one will take them on. I believe Obama did not use Stiglitz and Krugman because they would have advised jailing the bankers, while Summers and Geithner are fine with dishonesty. I hate to say it, but simple as that.
