It really is amazing, looking back, that by the end of the past decade, our political and financial governing elites had been utterly discredited, their incompetence laid bare and their free-market shibboleths exposed for the frauds they were. So what happened next? Nothing whatsoever.
Actually, no, it was worse than that. We gave more money to the people who destroyed the careers and fortunes of millions, and allowed them to steal homes they didn't own for pennies on the dollar. Don't know what it will take to change the equation, but obviously it will take someone made of sterner stuff than Barack Obama---and many of his compatriots on Team Democrat!---to confront the oligarchs and demand economic justice. As for those of us left behind, well, we look elsewhere for our leadership.
