“this financial crisis was deliberately caused”
Oh I’m sure. No doubt all a big conspiracy. Probably by the same elements in the US government that caused 9/11.
And isn’t Hank Paulson one of those giant lizards that secretly controls the world?
I’m sure he must be.
Just because most conspiracy theories are bunk, doesn't mean that there are no conspiracies.
The history of the Robber Barons, and their direct corporate descendants at JPMorgan and Goldman, is well documented.
May I suggest you read up on your history a bit ... and go long aluminum (for tin foil hats ;).

Are you not being a bit quick to dismiss these arguments, given Secy. Paulson's history of ex-CEO of Goldman Sachs, a key player in creating this mess? Does it not bother you that Treasury is trying to get carte blanche in this system, while blocking review by the court? I do agree with you that the Democrats who pushed loans to the poor who could not afford them are also to blame. How much more bad debt will be pushed on us while the execs who got several tens of millions of dollars in bonuses walk away with platinum parachutes?
