Joy comes in the morning..when the Reagan zombie, shareholder value over public interest,, vanishes!

"There’s a lot to be said about the financial disaster of the last two years, but the short version is simple: politicians in the thrall of Reaganite ideology dismantled the New Deal regulations that had prevented banking crises for half a century, believing that financial markets could take care of themselves. The effect was to make the financial system vulnerable to a 1930s-style crisis — and the crisis came."

P. Krugman in the article cited

That would be the same Paul Krugman who was a top financial adviser to Enron before he landed at the NYT....and everybody knows what a stellar job he did for them.
