Well, if you are new to financial news, I can see how Ratigan would come off looking bad. However, the Chamber of Commerce has had always and only one message, repeated ad nauseum, Let the private sector take care of it. What's good for us is good for you. Capisch? I think Ratigan, whose heard the rap numerous times, was expressing the general incredulity and anger at these self-appointed 'masters of the universe' who seem to think they can bleed the public treasury forever, even after nearly (and possibly yet again) crashing the world financial system with their incompetence and greed.

Wall Street bonuses are up another 40% this year as the system teeters on the brink. I think it's time for the torches and pitchforks to come out and the guillotine to be dusted off myself.
