Administrations have always had a revolving door with Goldman Sachs Paulson was an alum.

If the Capitol was not on a hill I suppose Obama could always pull a Hercules and divert the Ptomac through Congress.

I would love to see some old testament dished to the scum who did there best to wreck the economy but the Senate and House gutted the firewall in between regular FDIC deposit banks and the speculative banking system with the Modernization of Banking act that replaced Glass Steagle. So all of us taxpayers are left holding the bag and they get off scot free. I think defenestrating a couple of dozen of 'em would scare 'em for a generation or two but greed is eternal as you said Pete. They're the best thieves in the house so locking them all up would leave us at a disadvantage in the big bad world.

That said, I think there needs to be a shake up in the financial system with some sacrificial goats tossed to the mob. Mebbe they'll toss Dimond to the bloodthirsty first? Then the Dick of Lost Wages Adelson.
