A “J'accuse” by Nouriel Roubini and Nassim Taleb over on Facebook, consider joining as an expression of disgust, if you're so disgusted and want to express via facebook:
Make bankers accountable for the mess! They got rich HIDING RISK and put INNOCENT people in this mess.
Join the “two horsemen” (Nouriel and Nassim) in extracting justice for the small guy.
Mission Statement: At Davos 2009, one of the 2 horsemen was quoted as saying that people like Robert Rubin, who received over $100 million serving as chairman of New York-based Citigroup Inc.'s executive committee, need to be punished for their failure to understand the risks their institutions were taking. He said that unless Rubin and others like him are made to mandatorily return their bonuses or are given some other punishment, the system that regrettably emerges is one “in which it’s the worst of capitalism and socialism, a situation in which profits were privatized and losses were socialized. We taxpayers have the worst.”
“This will stand as the biggest government-sponsored scam in history”. Bankers are way ahead; they MISPREPRESENTED their risks; the small guy is paying the price.
We cannot live in a society without accountability.
See the interview with them on CNBC, an interview so surreal that Krugman compares it to this Monty Python skit:
