I don't get why AIG would sell credit default swaps. Doesn't AIG know the risks of those CDOs? Also, shouldn't investors be given info on what the CDOs were and a more precise number on how risky those CDOs were? How come credit rating companies are private? Shouldn't they be government regulated to have them be unbiased?
I agree with MichiganMantic5594. Right now we need to change how the politicians are allowed to raise billions of dollars for their campaign. This is one area of corruption that is blatantly obvious.
In the '70s and '80s the Glass-Steagall act(s), which were written to get us out of the bank failures of the Depression, were gutted by court rulings allowing banks to create and sell risky investments. (The same type of judges that ruled that Corporations are people. BTW, do Corporations vote?) So now we see a pattern that existed throughout the 1800s--large scale bank failures on a regular basis--you guessed it--by selling risky and worthless investments.
@Chakafrak Yes this stems from a common issue in political thought. The statement "market forces will take care of it" is true, but the way in which the unregulated market "takes care of it" is very very painful for the average citizen. Similar problems are found with folks who argue that the planet's population will "take care of itself" naturally. Also, true, but the way that happens "naturally" is plague and famine, another condition I suspect we would all like to avoid.
When investment dollars again focus on longterm gain, banking-finance will lose out. The amazing thing is that the "austerity" measures in the Eurozone will hurt industrials-manufacturing. Watch the US/Eurozone balance shift in the next half year.
Investment dollars make a choice between sectors, such as banking/finance and industrials/manufacturing. What happened under Bush-Cheney was a massive attack on industrials/manufacturing (GM, Ford, GE, IBM, Apple, etc). Cash flowed instead to the finance-banking sector that speculated day-to-day on fluctuations as the ONLY way to "win". A transaction tax will change this. Obama's DOJ investigation will also deflect capital away from banking-finance. Watch the next 4-5 months, you will see.
there is a solution. These corporate bankers may brag about being "worth" millions of dollars. Well a bullet is worth how much? $1? I think I may have a $1 solution to a million dollar problem. Its at the end of a barrel.
The problem is, the rules are written by those who are in power BASED ON those rules. Why? Because we LET THEM write those & FOLLOW them willingly. If we didn't follow their faulty system, they wouldn't have ANY power. So WHY are we following anybody? Why are YOU following anybody? Why do you think you should listen to what others say about anything? How do they know better than you do? What's the worst that can happen if you take responsibility for the 1st time? You die.
You tard monkey's realize that the Bail outs (Tarp) and the Stimulus aren't the same thing right? Tarp was bush, Stimulus was Obama. One went to the banks (tarp) the other was a host of Tax Cuts (stupid) and money for states that were going into debt (Texas for example, needed 8 Billion, remember how Dipshit Rick Perry said his budget was balanced, It wasn't, he simply look the disaster relief the Gov sent him for his state, and plugged his budget hole, then bitched about Obama not helping.
If the finacial banking system stayed in place and policy over the last 30 years to de regulate them it would have not happened. And we want more de regulatrions on everything from banks to to environment. Right.

Why do Americans hate Obama? He was left to clean up Bush's bullshit .... Yee have the coolest president in the world.... and plus if you wanna blame anybody, blame yourselves, yee voted Obama....
@musclesglasses100 haha FOOL, obama is the biggest fake ever. He ran on clichés like "Change" "Yes We Can".. Then he dance around on Ellen and Sings songs while Gaza gets bombed and Afghanistan war get 30.000 more troops. Obama and Bush are the same on the important issues, obama is the biggest liar ever.
LOL Barney Frank was interviewed. He was one of the ones responsible for the crisis. Huffington Post as well.. this is a piece of liberal propaganda. If these big banking firms want to do stupid things, the market will punish them and they will go bankrupt. It's as simple as that, and if they do illegal things they get to go to jail.
The real culprit is President Obama who engaged in cronyism and bailed these companies out.
@GracieJujitsu1 You dont have the slightest clue about what would have happened if these corporations would have defaulted. It would have been the end of our normal way of living, maybe even the start of a third world war.
@Frank12391NL hahahaha your fear mongering isn't working anymore. The government could have solved the crisis by just suspending the income tax for 5 years and arresting the criminal FED banksters and their wallstreet lackeys.
@GracieJujitsu1 Well you go and check the impact this default had on the dow. Imagine 5 or even 10 banks defaulting at the same time... In that case, we could hav all waved our pensionfunds goodbye.
@GracieJujitsu1 had he not bailed out the corporations, they would have become insolvent. You would not have been able to take your money out of your bank. Period. What he should have done was instead imposed more severe sanctions on these corporations. People have been living above their means.
@milesjordan239 And the government could have given money directly to the people if you want to make that argument, and all of the banks assets would be liquidated and money would be given to the people.
@GracieJujitsu1 No. The bank does not guarantee you your money back if it becomes bankrupt. It guarantees up to 5% depending on the sum. The government has no obligation to give people back their money, and it would have taken enormous amount of time and money to collect the data of these banks. 1) Had the bank been bankrupt, jobs would have been lost. 2) Confidence: No more confidence in the economy and more crucially, no more investment.. Basically, it would have fucked the economy even more.
@milesjordan239 You have no concept of a moral hazard and you have no clue that this isn't a one time and done thing. Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac are asking for more bailouts, they WILL go bankrupt. Some of the big banks WILL go bankrupt as well and they need to if they have failing business models.
@GracieJujitsu1 The bailing of banks (TARP) was started out by the Bush administration, NOT Obama. In fact Obama once gave the order to close down and breakup citibank but was ignored by your republican leaning secretary of tresasury timothy geithner.
How could you blame Obama? He doesn't get passed a bill and says yes or no to it. It has to go through him, supreme court, and FEDS. The problem is the US Treasury, and Congress.
@BlassKain17 You can be damn sure I would have done things differently. All of the CEOs would be in jail and dozens of companies would be bankrupt. I would also have the budget balanced by now.
Bush did the first BAIL-OUTS. Obama inherited the double of our national debt. BUT Obama had the option to make changes and instead he hired one of the worst. So did Bush. They are all in on it. The banking businesses continue to merge and get so big they know they will get bailed or the entire economy will go under. It is all in the plan.
@GracieJujitsu1 , I hope you know how bailing out works right, Its not just giving money to someone, Think of it more like a debt for a debt, and then think that if obama didn't do what he did, thousands of citizens would lose money and jobs.
@GracieJujitsu1 you're an idiot. in case you don't remember the bailouts were initiated during the bush presidency. unfortunately we live in a time where these corps. have so much power that there would have been significantly much more damage to our economy had they been allowed to collapse. these bailouts effectively saved millions of jobs. we do however need stronger regulation and more transparency from these greedy institutions...including our govt.
@GracieJujitsu1 Bush and his ilk deregulated the financial system for the past 30 years basically giving the banksters carte blanche to do as they like with no. Don't blame the guy who's just trying to fix the mess he was given. Put the blame on those who deserve it.
And the "messiah" charge. LOL You must be watching Fox News because the only worshipping going on was towards George Bush. Countless amounts of Mega Church attendees believing he was "sent by the Lord."
The only legitimate criticisms of the President come from Liberals. Conservatives on the other hand either race bait or try to blame Bush's failures on him.
@GracieJujitsu1 Thanks for the offer, but I'm not that invested. Just wanted to clear up some misunderstandings you and other commentators might have. Nice conversing though..... : )
ridiculous now your government is critical of the electoral system, in Hungary has cut the parliament to half size what other politicians juste promise to the people in mouste of EU country, if a voting system do we have than the U.S. or the British are the Communists and the liberals do not even they would have been a contemporary of Hungarian parliament, U.S. and EU stop to support communist Because the people in hungary was wote for change and this is a democracy...
Perhaps a kind of Red Brigades are necessary in the USA... although don't like violence of any kind. It is stunning how people are ingorant who are real enemies... of the world! They are members of four main occult-political "brotherhoods": Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), Trilateral Commission, Royal Institute if International Affairs (RIIAI or Chatham House, Bilderberg group.
Everyone should see this documentary and realise that American "Banksters" are the most disgusting and filthy creatures that ever lived in this planet. Thanks for denouncing these RATS!!!
This was always obvious, pure free market is logically a bomb that explodes decades to decades, but people seems don't accept it and even think that free market is about freedom itself...Well, yes freedom to powerful people to get more powerful, THATS THE FACTUAL TRUE.
.
Regulations, a semi-capitalist/socialist approach demonstrated to work in USA, till deregulation and true free market open again. Are people around the world able to SEE THIS????
It is a fair argument to say that Hitler understood that communism and capitalism are just flip sides of the same Jewish constructed and dominated systems.
Hitler recognized the need for industrial capitalism but aimed to rid the world of interest capitalism. The leading Jewish financiers and heads of Banks who funded the British, Soviet and USA economies instigated and expanded a regional European war into a World War in order to destroy National Socialism.
This is the reason it is pointless voting for a US President in fact there hasnt been a 'truly democratically elected" government in the USA since JFK. Goldmans dictates and then appoints key US Senators and backs whomever gives them what they want. Obama included. The Israeli lobby runs the USA with Goldmans. All criminals and worse in reality than a Dictatorship.
@1989bakunin Ron Pauls economic plan will create more jobs and also call for a sound monitary policy with less taxes. Calling on the Gold and Silver standard which has been used a curency for all of human times up until recently is a safer form monitary policy because unlike the Federal Reserve the markets will control the value not the FED which will create a healthier economy. This will actually INCREASE the size of our middle class which has now almost become extinct
@1989bakunin The middle class are the ones who need the helped because they are rapidly being squeezed out, becoming the poor class which then are cared for by the nanny state.True free market capitalism (not crony capitalism/corporatism like we currently have) will reduce the number off poor by provided the best quality housing/education/healthcare at the lowest cost.

@MichiganManiac5594 The Fed was fine through the 30s to the 60s. Then the Glass-Steagall acts which kept banks from selling risky and worthless investments was gutted by right wing judges. The investments crashed, not the Fed.
@Chakafrak You do make a very fine point. But this issue is not just Left or Right. Because both sides have sold this country out, and both have trashed our constitution. And yes while the banks have a huge part in whats been happening the Federal Reserve has been there also to bail these banks out which is sending a bad moral message to the American public that if a company or bank acts irresponsibly the FED will be there to bail them out. Thats the problem, but yes you are correct
@MichiganManiac5594 The Fed is an independent source of funds and does other things like influence interest rates. The bailout was a knee-jerk reaction to a catastrophe, the same as the Iraq wars. Abolishing the Fed is like abolishing gas stations because they gouge prices. There are other more important problems to fight that will have a much more positive impact on America, such as the billions raised by politicians for campaigning constantly and the debt they are in to the donors.
@Chakafrak I suppose the FED would not be a big deal if it was actually a Federal agency. But the "Federal" Reserve is actually owned and run by a small group of elitists is whats the problem. They bail out companies as a favor for a nice return. Our Federal government does not have any say so in what the FED does. When you use a system of currency by Gold and Silver the market controls the value and not a small group of powerful people and that is why the FED needs to be abolished
Seems like they got a screwing problem ''oh yeah let's screw society with our filthy long cocks, lets fill their heads with our sperm of lies, LETS FUCK THEM TILL THEY ARE NOTHING MWUAHAHA'' The capitalist rape machine in full force.. I also wanna know, if there still is americans who think socialism is the spawn of the devil? Cause then im gonna laugh in their faces so hard.
Re:If this movie only had 300 million views the world would be a better place.
I totally agree. Unfortunately, most people don't want to look at the ugly truth. It's much more comfy to watch that bigscreen, have some kids, and call it a life.
It's like that dirty plate that's been sitting in the corner. You know it's there, and you see it every day, but if you just put it off, put it out of mind, things seem to go on as normal.
this really shows why these giant corporate investors are a HUGE problem! what many people fail to realize, is that the big business ceo's have effectively taken over the entire world. they have more power than any president, king, or dictator in history. 9/11, reccesion, kennedy assasination, you name it, was all an inside job so these fat cat government agents and lobbyists just keep gettin richer, and the poor keep getting worse. soon, 1% will be 0.5% WE NEED A CHANGE NOW!!!!!!
actually it extends much farther back in history than the Reagen administration. We're talking about 1913, when the central bankers back then clandestinely passed the Federal Reserve Act, which gave control of the issuing power to a private consortium of central bankers primarily situated in Europe.
@aserino216 Except Ron Paul advocates a smaller government, something that would inevitably lead to reduced regulations (a policy that led to the financial crisis of 2008).
@excalibur183 big government and the big banks are colluding together to transfer the wealth from the middle class to the wall street cronies. Did you not see Alan Greenspan decline, on multiple occasions to regulate these derivatives. Who do you think pays for the president's campaign? yup, the big mega-banks.
@capoeira102 And those big banks were created by a policy of deregulation that began during the Reagan administration. Decreasing the size of government and the amount of regulation will not help.
I just saw this movie (jan 07 2012). I am very interested in finding out what type of exposure this movie gets inside the USA. If anyone can tell me, pls let me know. Thanks.
@LackadaisicalE Half of US cant even understand these fuking movie mate.. i hardly do... An if i understood everything i wouldn tell no body case i want allot of $ LOL +)
@DbozenD lulz well wasn't it benjamin Franklin that said some 200 years ago or so that if the American public knew what the banking sector actually did, there would be armed revolution in the streets tomorrow! Mmmhm I do believe so. The problem is ofcourse that the American people's apathy leads to the corruption of thee entire world. That is why we say USA is a great country, it should just be held under water for some 10-20 minutes :)
I'm completely for auditing the Fed, but how is deregulating the banks more going to help? I understand that there were regulations put in place that protected the banks, but wouldn't it be more sensible to replace those regulations with regulations that protect the average citizen from fraud? What's going to stop the banks from ever doing it again?
Why do the people of the U.S.A. continue to put up with this?...Especially if the same people who worked for Clinton, and Bush, are now working for Obama...? I.e. ...The Fed chairman Ben Bernake,É The Goldman Sacks C.E.O who earned 480 million tax free, That Summers Guy....its like...the info is out there but the American people refuse to do anything about it...
@PrinceCharming3773 Hard to do anything about it when they just passed NDAA which allows them to indefinitely detain American citizens without a trial. the President also has the authority and power to order assasinations of US Citizens. LAND OF THE FREE! Since we arent free anymore people wont attack us, right? :)
@PrinceCharming3773 Oh u didnt know ? that people = animals. unless we dont starve to dead and be able to cope with life and shit we wouldnt go and fuking protest.. lol What about Engine on WATTER? same fuking thing!! Any way stfup slave go back to work or school whatever or be poor and die i guess lol!!!
@DickMotorman He wants competing currencies. Money is simply a means of trade. If paper printed money backed by nothing "works" so would anything else. Cant have a group of crooks in charge of the money supply.
Real men do not partake in unjust wars fought for corrupt governments.
Real men do not stand by when innocent women and children are killed.
Real men do not revel in the 'glory' of war and killing for the sake of killing.
A Real American Patriot takes up arms in defence of his home his family and his country.
When the sickness that inhabits the elites who control the Western governments is dealt with then we can look further afield. There are too many troubles at home to justify these wars
All this truth out there means nothing, the world is so doped up on fluoride and GM foods they watch these documentaries with bloodshot eyes while drool runs down their chin.
“No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money. The Pharisees, who loved money, heard all this and were sneering at Jesus”. Luke 16:13-14
Why do so many people just blindly accept whatever they put in this movie as divine truth. Cristine Lagarde, now head of the financial terrorists called the IMF is repeatedly shown as on the part of the good guys. Nothing could be further from the truth. The film also portrays Barney frank who sucked Freddie Mac's dick for decades as someone on the side of the people. Very biased movie, Matt....
u all born in freedom , u dont know how is to be under communist for example.

@GracieJujitsu1 you're an idiot. in case you don't remember the bailouts were initiated during the bush presidency. unfortunately we live in a time where these corps. have so much power that there would have been significantly much more damage to our economy had they been allowed to collapse. these bailouts effectively saved millions of jobs. we do however need stronger regulation and more transparency from these greedy institutions...including our govt.

@GracieJujitsu1 Bush and his ilk deregulated the financial system for the past 30 years basically giving the banksters carte blanche to do as they like with no. Don't blame the guy who's just trying to fix the mess he was given. Put the blame on those who deserve it.

It is a fair argument to say that Hitler understood that communism and capitalism are just flip sides of the same Jewish constructed and dominated systems.
Hitler recognized the need for industrial capitalism but aimed to rid the world of interest capitalism. The leading Jewish financiers and heads of Banks who funded the British, Soviet and USA economies instigated and expanded a regional European war into a World War in order to destroy National Socialism.

@1989bakunin Ron Pauls economic plan will create more jobs and also call for a sound monitary policy with less taxes. Calling on the Gold and Silver standard which has been used a curency for all of human times up until recently is a safer form monitary policy because unlike the Federal Reserve the markets will control the value not the FED which will create a healthier economy. This will actually INCREASE the size of our middle class which has now almost become extinct

@MichiganManiac5594 The Fed was fine through the 30s to the 60s. Then the Glass-Steagall acts which kept banks from selling risky and worthless investments was gutted by right wing judges. The investments crashed, not the Fed.

@Chakafrak You do make a very fine point. But this issue is not just Left or Right. Because both sides have sold this country out, and both have trashed our constitution. And yes while the banks have a huge part in whats been happening the Federal Reserve has been there also to bail these banks out which is sending a bad moral message to the American public that if a company or bank acts irresponsibly the FED will be there to bail them out. Thats the problem, but yes you are correct
MichiganManiac5594 2 weeks ago 11
@MichiganManiac5594 The Fed is an independent source of funds and does other things like influence interest rates. The bailout was a knee-jerk reaction to a catastrophe, the same as the Iraq wars. Abolishing the Fed is like abolishing gas stations because they gouge prices. There are other more important problems to fight that will have a much more positive impact on America, such as the billions raised by politicians for campaigning constantly and the debt they are in to the donors.
Chakafrak 2 weeks ago
@Chakafrak I suppose the FED would not be a big deal if it was actually a Federal agency. But the "Federal" Reserve is actually owned and run by a small group of elitists is whats the problem. They bail out companies as a favor for a nice return. Our Federal government does not have any say so in what the FED does. When you use a system of currency by Gold and Silver the market controls the value and not a small group of powerful people and that is why the FED needs to be abolished

actually it extends much farther back in history than the Reagen administration. We're talking about 1913, when the central bankers back then clandestinely passed the Federal Reserve Act, which gave control of the issuing power to a private consortium of central bankers primarily situated in Europe.
