Aika tiukkaa tekstiä New York Timesin toimittajalta:
"It's dispiriting indeed to watch the United States financial system, supposedly the envy of the world, being taken to its knees. But that’s the show we’re watching, brought to you by somnambulant regulators, greedy bank executives and incompetent corporate directors."
"This wasn’t the way the “ownership society” was supposed to work. Investors weren’t supposed to watch their financial stocks plummet more than 70 percent in less than a year. And taxpayers weren’t supposed to be left holding defaulted mortgages and abandoned homes while executives who presided over balance sheet implosions walked away with millions."
Näyttää siltä, että amerikkalaisessakin kapitalismissa isojen poikien tappiot sosialisoidaan tarvittaessa. Velanottoon haksahtaneille perheille käy huonommin.

Vielä lainaus:
"A week ago, Bridgewater Associates, a research firm, estimated that losses from the credit crisis we’re now mired in might amount to $1.6 trillion when all is said and done.
We’ll have to wait years to see if this is accurate. But whatever the number is, it will also represent, in stunning red ink, the cost to society of financiers who are shortsighted and greedy and regulators who don’t regulate."
1,6 triljoonaa $ = 1600 miljardia $. Vertailukohtana esim. Suomen valtion budjetti on tänä vuonna n. 45 miljardia euroa (n. 70 mrd $).
