Reagan (Regan) paved the way by deregulating Wall Street, then Slick Willy opened the door for the meltdown with the repeal of Glass-Steagall. These big bank phucktards have been wanting to shoot craps with loaded dice all along.

Best example is Robert Rubin (I know this has already been talked about before). 20some years at Goldman Sachs. Then Secretary of the Treasury for Clinton, helps get some of the biggest banking and investment safeguards destroyed, instantly leaves as Secretary of the Treasury and gets a job at Citigroup, which ends up needing the biggest bailout and makes over $100 million during his years at Citigroup. Now goes around doing interviews, writing articles, and having his "achievements" honored! Crazycrazycrazy.
