If It’s My Fault, Where’s My Pile of Filthy Lucre?

“Wall Street has rocket scientists creating securities…. A scientist sort of in the back room with lots of test tubes and bunsen burners–they’ve created monsters. They’ve created these securities that no one has a handle on.”
Nancy Kimmelman, former Wall Street economist

That’s right, it’s all our fault. We’re done creating V-2 rockets to rain down poorly-aimed destruction on England and Peacekeeper ICBMs with MIRV warheads bearing 200 times the destructive power of the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. No longer are we content with splicing genes until we have glow-in-the-dark bunnies. Now we’re taking over the financial systems of the world! Mua ha ha ha!

    Why weren’t you satisfied with glow-in-the-dark bunnies, Sargent? Why?

    I had to pay for those bunnies somehow.

    A bank? Have you seen the list of stocks that you can no longer sell short? My orbiting mattress will do just fine, thanks.

    Hey, we know it wasn’t you! It was Project Paperclip man. The Nazis were brought over here to help us build the bomb, but they also fluoridated our precious bodily fluids, cancelled the Smothers Brothers and replaced it with the Beverly Hillbillies and initiated the bundling and selling of mortgage notes. It has nothing to do with us voting in the wrong people and not paying any attention to what they were doing. Let’s not even think that.
