that must be where I got the phrase, 'Willfully Ignorant.'

I think I remember Obama saying that the Financial Field is close to a 1/3rd of the nation's output. It's just pieces of paper going from one place to another. Creates nothing.

I was a stockbroker back in the '80's. When 'Derivatives' came out, I read the 'Instruction Manual' so to pass the test. Finally, I asked a couple of co-workers if I was missing something, because this is just crap. And they both said, 'I'm glad you said that....I thought I was going nuts or just stupid.' None of us took the test. I saw this mess coming. I'm really glad I worked in the financial industry...what a bunch of CROOKS! I can imagine to what levels they have taken it to today. And no one is going to jail today. Just rotten to the core...both parties, imho.

And if Obama thinks this Financial Disaster is over, he is sorely mistaken. Those derivatives are still out there as well as the crappy mortgages...Fancy Accounting doesn't change the FACTS.
