by the very people who screwed things up in the first place?

In a sane world there would have been mass arrests of people on Wall Street and people in media like the idiots at CNBC would be kicked off the air for refusing to do their damn job and actually confront a CEO instead of being honored to have them on to spew their lies.

Instead, those are the very people that are taken seriously as the "experts" America needs to listen to.
