Must-Watch "Inside Job" - The Public Got Screwed And We Haven't Held Them Accountable

Courtesy of http://www.openculture.com/ you can watch the movie "Inside Job," narrated by Matt Damon.  The movie does a good job, generally, in translating into layman's terms how the financial bubble was perpetrated by Wall Street, in collusion with the Government - both Republican and Democratic administrations.

It's great that the public can see some of the truth and facts laid out like this.  And it's great that Congress forced some of the CEO's to be publicly humiliated, somewhat.  But the bottom line is that many people, from Hank Paulson to Angelo Mozillo to the regulators who moved from DC to Wall Street, made $100's of millions derived from willing and motivated corruption and fraud and were never held accountable.  Congress has not held these people accountable.  The Bush and Obama adiminstrations have not held them accountable.  The people of this country have not held them accountable.  These are people who would have been thrown in jail and forced to disgorge their wealth in another era of this country.

The corruption and lack of accountability stretches from Alan Greenspan dating back to when he worked for Charles Keating and defended Keating's fraudulent use of S&L money - the losses of which were paid for by the taxpayer ultimately - to today's Wall Street CEO's and even Ben Bernanke.  Watch the movie and you'll see what I'm alluding to with regard to Bernanke and his henchmen at the Fed.

One of these days there will be accountability demanded in this country, only it will like take the form of social uprisings similar to what we are witnessing in the Africa and the Middle East.  Until then, the best way to profit and take advantage of this mess is to continue accumulating gold and silver and mining stocks.  Becuause as long as the fiscal and financial policies of this country continue to enable this fraud and corruption and lack of accountability, more and more capital will flow into gold and silver, which both have been honest money for over 5000 years.
