It's remarkable that we have economists like Brooksley Born, Stiglitz, Roubini, and Krugman and they have no place in the present administration. This speaks volumes regarding the depth of corruption and the ongoing theft of our treasure. I posted this over on Ian's site yesterday.

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. The rich have just been bailed out by the taxpayers; who don’t happen to be the rich; they’re everybody else.

Who’d have ever thought so much treasure could be stolen from people with no money? There is a form of genius operating here. It’s a sick form, a criminal form, and a cold-blooded form that should’ve brought a rebellion.

I would love to see one million people march on Washington and every-man-jack one of them brandishing a pitchfork. God! What a sight that would be . . .

And then I came across this article in the Asia Times. It's by Henry CK Liu, Part 1 is here and Part 2 is here.
