[QUOTE="bvw, post: 1711191, member: 600788"] You did some research, that's good. The man was a Typhoid Mary -- and you're right, too many politicians and bureaucrats and elites in power were way out of bounds, or operating beyond their ability, in ethics and philosophy of managing other people's money. Carelessness of the modern elite! That's something that really got well underway back in the 1970's according to my own studies then, and the old wisdoms of my Scottish mentor and friend who was a top-level banker, for most of his career a bank examiner. He left the field is disgust. And you are also right in being aggravated at the Bush administrations. Both should have known better, I'd say, but I also can understand how their focus and energies must have been overwhelmed by our war efforts. Yes, Bush set a bad mark at the end by not dealing with the "crisis" more forcefully and with vigor. He seems to have been dispirited by the vile media response to Katrina which hectored him unmercifully and totally incorrectly. Still, a leader has to keep his wits and spirit when all others lose theirs! We need a complete regime change -- Geithner, Bernanke, Obama, Dodd, Frank, etc, etc must go. Or we are sailing into a maelstrom without a rudder. [/QUOTE]
