There are times for genuine concern in life, but the antics of Wall Street may be of less necessity than they would like us to imagine.
Goldman Sachs has not nearly enough societal value to balance its social pollution. They need to be cut off immediately from all government subsidy and restrained in their ability to game the system.
Excessive size and leverage breeds interdependent fraud, political corruption and inefficiency, and pseudo-scientific rationales for the ridiculous from domesticated economists.
Take the big Wall Street Banks apart into self-sufficient components, save the depositors, and start worrying about the things that really matter.
(h/t qqqbear and paine)
"O that I could find in the desert a wayside shelter for travelers, that I might depart from my people. For they are all adulterers, an unfaithful mob of traitors. Their tongues are devious weapons, bent like drawn bows. With falsehoods rather than truth they have gained power. They commit one crime after another. They do not know me, says the Lord. I will make Jerusalem a heap of ruins, the lair of jackals. I will lay waste to Judah, a desolation where no one can live."
Jeremiah 9:2-3,11
