Unfortunately not.

The problem occurred when Americans permitted a crazy philosophy of unregulated greed to take over Washington DC. You are talking about the symptoms rather than the disease.

Amazingly, having ruined themselves and the world with their ideas, Americans look like they are susceptible to another go - blaming the people who are trying to fix the problem for the problem itself.

I'm afraid I think there is nothing so destructive to the whole world than the zealot billionaires of the Republican right. They are the disease - the wasp that lays its eggs in the caterpillar of docile middle America and consumes it while keeping its vital organs ticking as long as possible.

The cure is a change in the constitution. Otherwise, it's a repeat cycle every 40-60 years or so. Kondratieff was onto something.

The problem really began when they became publicly traded entities and had to show "growth" every quarter. This led to having to make up "innovative" new products like CDOs and MBSs and derivatives. The crock of shit they sold to the all of the world.
