MarketWatch: Ignore the Libor scandal at your own risk

[JDPriestly]

7. This scandal gives new meaning to the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Shows that OWS is right about Wall Street.

These crooks were stealing money. Pretending to be capitalists, pretending to believe in free markets, they were manipulating the markets so as to capture them.

This is just an abomination.

Talk about corporate socialism. The bankers did not even feign capitalism. Horrors!

2005 -- That's the Bush era. Republicans hawk "you too can be rich," and "rah! rah! capitalism and free markets." But they are really about taking privileges for themselves and controlling the market so that only the in-crowd prospers.

Bunch of criminals. All of them.

Bernanke was at the Fed most of this time.

Bernanke then served as chairman of President George W. Bush's Council of Economic Advisers before President Bush appointed him on February 1, 2006, to be chairman of the United States Federal Reserve. Bernanke was confirmed for a second term as chairman on January 28, 2010, after being re-nominated by President Barack Obama.
