This series was put together by The Real News Network and documents the sordid actions of Lehman Brothers up to their collapse and subsequent sale. One of the themes that seems to emerge to my mind is that this is a warning that all of the remaining players, like Goldman Sachs, are still engaged in the same sort of bullshit. And from the sounds of it, Barney Frank is not going to do a damn thing about it. The bills that were ballyhooed as re-regulation of Wall Street are not. The loopholes in them are big enough to drive a...well...Goldman Sachs through. The bills being considered don't come even close to the bills that FDR pushed through. And that the neoliberal capitalists repealed beginning with Ronald Reagan and ending in the Financial Collapse of 2008. This is scary stuff, but well worth the time to watch.

All opinions are welcome at this time. If it gets too out of control with threats and vitriol like I have seen on some sites, I may have to reconsider.
