"The reality is that the worldwide economic meltdown and the bailout that followed were together a kind of revolution, a coup d'état."

True.

IMHO, the whole market meltdown was orchestrated. And it's chain is still being jerked.

Any analytical account of the economic crisis that fails, in its first three paragraphs, to mention the Community Reinvestment Act, Barney Frank or Chris Dodd, is not fit for birdcage lining.

These articles are all about shadowy “insiders” mounting “coups” on behalf of eeeeeevil corporations and institutions. The real culprits prance about in broad daylight in Washington. And the root cause of the crisis, the CRA, chugs along untouched.

...trend that has been snowballing for decades: the gradual takeover of the government by a small class of connected insiders, who used money to control elections, buy influence and systematically weaken financial regulations.

Interesting financial/political analysis ping.

Its called an oligarchy. The Republicrats. Washington vs America.

Sarah Palin elicits a visceral response from them because she’s US!
