Yes, it is hard to believe, but still happening: 10 years after Lehman the very same people who either directly caused the financial crisis of 2008 or made things much much worse in its aftermath, are not only ALL walking around freely and enjoying even better paid jobs than 10 years ago, they are even asked by the media to share their wisdom, comment on what they did to prevent much much worse, and advise present day politicians and bankers on what THEY should do.<\/p>\n

You know, what with all the wisdom, knowledge and experience they built up. because that\u2019s the first thing you\u2019ll hear them all spout: Oh YES!, they learned so many lessons after that terrible debacle, and now they\u2019re much better prepared for the next crisis, if it ever might come, which it probably will, but not because of but despite what their wise ass class did back in the day.<\/p>\n

Which never fails to bring back up the question about Ben Bernanke, who said right after Lehman that the Fed was entering \u2018uncharted territory\u2019 but ever after acted as if the territory had started looking mighty familiar to him, which is the only possible explanation for why he had no qualms about throwing trillion after trillion of someone else\u2019s many at the banks he oversaw.<\/p>\n

Somewhere along the line he must have figured it out, right, or he wouldn\u2019t have done that?! He couldn\u2019t still have been grasping in the pitch black dark the way he admitted doing when he made the \u2018uncharted territory\u2019 comment?! Thing is, he never returned to that comment, and was never asked about it, and neither were Draghi, Kuroda or Yellen. Did they figure out something they never told us about, or were and are they simple blind mice?<\/p>\n
