What Our Leaders Saved

It's not only that they stole thousands of homes that didn't belong to them, forged documents to establish title when they didn't have it, looted our pensions and 401(k)s of billions of dollars to make stupid derivatives bets, lied to their investors to offload crap securities, manipulated the price of money and commodities, or went running to the taxpayers when all their innovations went south. It's that none of these things---like the cratering of the global economy---would ever have happened if it weren't for the fact that, well, they just weren't terribly good at their jobs. And they still aren't.
