A few of us knew the double dip in real estate was a no brainer, but what I didn’t expect, and for some inexplicable reason no one from the financial establishments is facing criminal charges for, is the outright fraud in an attempt to cover up (e.g. paper over) their incompetence.

If you or I did this, like having someone else pose as us when buying a house but forge our name in our place, we’d almost certainly be facing criminal charges. But it would appear Too Big To Fail also implies To Big To Jail.
