This is why the economy is bad. This is why you’re losing your job. There was massive criminal activity. It’s not just an accident. MATT TAIBBI, American author and journalist, commenting on the collapse of the economy: Yeah, I think it’s hard not to make a connection between the total lack of enthusiasm that we saw for the Democratic Party... and, for instance, their behavior in pushing investigations of the financial services community... I talk to people on Wall Street all the time... all my sources come from Wall Street. They all say the same thing, that Barack Obama had an incredible opportunity in late 2008, just after he took office, with his communication skills, he could have gone to the American people and explained to them exactly what happened and said, This is why the economy is bad. This is why you’re losing your job. There was massive criminal activity. It’s not just an accident. And then he could have gone and put a few people in jail and really put some teeth behind those words. Instead, they swept it all under the rug. And people, even if they don’t completely understand what happened, they sense that nothing was done. And I think it’s important to understand that. democracynow.org/2015/1/1/matt_taibbi_and_the_9_billion
