Maybe the "greed" was a direct consequence of the artificially low interest rates and the artificially low lending standards (enforced by the government)? Wall street "greed" is just something to pin it on for the government
Jimmy Carter's "afordable housing" plan broke the banks, so now they are grabbing all they can get, because they know our economy is failing. Those followinf suit, to grab all they can get are those that voted for the Marxist/Socailist Obama hoping to garner un-earned wealth. Too obvious, just like Hitlers Germany, and why we call Obama the Chocolate Hitler, who is now nationalizing (NAZI) our country, pretending to be our savior.
The question is...who profited...money doesn't just disappear
