Indeed. It must be late in Florida. I wanted to watch the Ticker video, but I get the "we are sorry" message.

Anyway, I was looking for a place to tack in this fascinating link regarding "The Final Crisis Winter 1933". Adobe Reader needed.

Karl,

I don't disagree with any of your three points, but may I suggest that restoring a credible security rating industry is as important as any of them. Trust collapsed last July when the Bear Stearns hedge funds went from AAA to zeroes for investors instantaneously. The ratings agencies instantly lost 100 years' worth of credibility and with it the US capital markets. To fix this,

- Bar bond issuers from paying for ratings
- Standardize bond rating criteria at a federal level (the agencies' own ratings were getting ridiculous anyway with all the shades of "affirmed, but outlook negative")
- Consider nationalizing the rating companies on an emergency basis
- End the SEC-annointed status of S&P/Moody's/Fitch to allow honest players like Egan Jones to compete.

etc.

Shouldn't the editing of the story (apparently not by the writer, according to Clay above) be major news that should be brought to the attention of Congress and the rest of the media? Did the bloomberg editor have a gun to his head, or some other "incentive" to change an accurate story into a blatant lie designed to increase the First Liar's chances of lining the pockets of his billionaire buddies? This by itself seems pretty newsworthy.

Heads up, Karl: The link to the original Bloomberg story is pointing to the changed story. They may have destroyed all evidence. (Except your cache, tee hee...)

The crash has laid bare many unpleasant truths about the United States. One of the most alarming, says a former chief economist of the Intl Monetary Fund, is that the finance industry has effectively captured our government.
