Brutal Toon in the NYT: Greetings from flyover country

[Egalitarian Thug]

96. You have a degree in economics but never heard anything about the consequences

immediately after the collapse and insist that other people do the legwork for you.

I'm sorry, but you are either simply trolling or feel entitled to demand others do the work for you. Unfortunately and unlike the fantasy universally portrayed throughout America, learning is a strenuous activity requiring substantial effort and time. I can tell you what Dr. Stiglitz says he thinks on a variety of topics, but simply presenting content is not equivalent to learning or understanding.

All of the bailed out parasites, Goldman, Citi, Morgan, et al publish information for a steep fee. There are also a number of less well known sources (think of the hedge funds). If you look outside the traditional outlets, you can find most of this information elsewhere, commonly outside of U.S. sources. I won't provide any info that "our" government and their corporate masters deem unlawful on this site.

If you want to know, the information is available. If not, what's the point of this?
