  • wow this was deep, everyone owned the some money. sickening, regulation was a little to late! Greenspan, Rubin, Summers stopped regulation, killed americans future for god knows how long? 25-50yrs ? more or less no one knows. brookley knew

  • Warning? Peter Schiff (an evil stock broker) was warning what was going to happen as far back as 2002. Would PBS ever bring that up? No because he knows the real source of the problem.

  • Peter Schiff is an interesting person but he still doesnt want to regulate ANYTHING the fed is bad, i repeat i wanna get rid of the fed BUT their not only thing wrong with our economy.  Our economy is complicated, anybody who says theirs only ONE thing wrong with it is selling snake venom.

  • When the Titanic went down, that was the beginning of our impending doom

  • Brooksley Born: moral and intelligent.

  • The federal reserve is laundering illegal drug money all over the world.

  • Free Market Laissez-faire Fantasies

  • this is all smoke and mirrors and nothing will get better until we regain control of the federal reserve. In case you didn't know, the federal reserve is a PRIVATE COMPANY. It is not part of the government. So basically our monetary system is run by a FOR-PROFIT company not run by congress.congress is not even allowed to see what is done with our money. Congressman ron paul proposed a bill to audit the fed and it is in your best interests to support this in any way you can

  • I am against the Fed. BUT getting rid of the fed would be VERY hard to do and we shouldnt wait until that happens for change. Theirs other things we can do that will help, we cant cut off our own noses, in despite of our face.

  • History is bound to repeat itself only because some human beings are greedy and silly people.

  • Equally as disgusting as this story is that no major tv network has reported on it.

  • I second the FACT that Greenspan and his cohorts, yes cohorts, are protégés of Ayn Rand. That is beyond scary, but huge wake up call. What else of Rand do they adhere to? How many of their "friends" also follow Rand's philosophical views? And are any of them in positions of "power" now?

  • 90% of the elected leader in this country should be tried for treason.

  • skip the trial. i rather see them execute.

  • well now, the moral of this story is for MS. ELIZABETH WARREN, to GO ON THE WARPATH TO THE WORLD PRESS, THE CANADIAN PRESS, THE BRITS, THE AUSSIES, THE EURO UNION COUNTRIES AND OF COURSE THE CHINESE,,,,,,,, and all those that have a vested interest in our INCOMPETENCE,,,,,,and tell them what is going on in our DC GOVERNMENT,,,,,,,,,,,,,or not.

  • since when does PBS frontline, a tax payer funded org,,,,,engage in censorship??????or is it YOUTUBE???

  • youtube's very own FIRESTORM FOR THE PEOPLE OF MAINSTREET,,,,garryowen4ever would ask, QUO VADIS? QUID SUPERAME?,,,,,,,he would be pleased to know that Messrs: Eliot Spitzer and Dylan Ratigan have continued his crusade....LIZ WARREN AND MS. BORN,,,,,will have to be far more assertive and combative to make a dent in the VAMPIRES FORTIFICATIONS,,,,we call our WALL STREET OWNED DC GOVERNMENT.

  • in the past week, Messrs; ELIOT SPITZER & DYLAN RATIGAN have become SURPRISINGLY OUTSPOKEN ADVOCATES "FOR THE PEOPLE"..........AND UNCHARACTERISTICALLY HARSH CRITICS OF THE WALL STREET OWNED OBAMA REGIME AND DC GOVT..........even I am disarmed by their vitriol and outrage over this nightmare without end. Liz Warren and Ms. Born will have to become FIRESTORMS FOR THE PEOPLE and take no prisoners to make a dent in the VAMPIRE CABAL'S FORTIFICATIONS.

  • Eliot Spitzer was investigating NYSE & Wall Street and they didn't like it. When he was thrown out, the greedy bastards celebrated! He was always on the side of the people as it was his job to go after these criminals.

  • The economic crash is still being damned up by trillions of dollars the next crash will happen when this new bubble fails... so why are you failing to report this?

    Please report on the new clashes with Greenspan and the Federal Reserve System in 2009, 2010...

  • I sure wish Frontline had acted ethicaly with me in 2004 before I ran in the election of the 38th Parliament and then was falsely imprisoned in Boston immediately afterwards while PBS STILL laughs at my whisleblowing efforts to this very day?

    I bet a lot of people who lost a lot of money since then do too EH?

  • JixMa come on now you know Obama ain't caring for the truth. You see the same corporate people who held Bush Jr, Clinton,Bush Sr, Reagan and others also hold Obama.

  • Hey, gang. So, do you think Obama's going to watch this "Frontline" or what? Maybe he'll be too busy again having another "night on the town" with the wife, eh? Or, maybe yukking it up at another press club-type dinner, hmm? What a guy!

  • What a beautiful-looking woman Brooksley Born was back then. Just look at her portrait 1:02 . That is a fine-looking woman. Beauty AND brains! A rarity, nowadays.

  • At 3:50 the man says Bill Clinton found Brooksley Born boring & so the job of Attorney General went to that dynamo & spitfire of a personality, Janet Reno. Yeah, that makes a lot of freakin' sense, Clinton! I'm surprised Clinton didn't appoint Monica Lewinsky on the criteria of who he found exciting as to who gets a job in his administration. What a piece of work, that Clinton turned out to be! The more revelations about him come out, the more I loathe him and I voted for Mr. "I Feel Your Pain"!

  • Actually, Frontline truncated the story a little. Born was originally rejected in favor of Zoe Baird, a younger and "more dynamic" woman, but she had to withdraw her name because of revelations about not paying social security for her kids' immigrant nanny. The next nominee was Kimba Woods, who also faded in the face of a "Nannygate" scandal. Reno was the third pick. Clinton's quest for a female Attorney General could be the subject of a whole other "Frontline" installment.

  • Looks like a must watch.
