Rating Agencies....
Properly labeled....nobody would have bought them....
People bought what was marked "filet mignon"...
But it was really "mule"....
Looked like filet...though....
And just so everyone feels better....
The SAME Rating Agencies are doing more business today than ever.....and may get bailout money as well....
JUSTICE anyone ?

Quote from C6H12O6:
So, actually the ultimate responsibility is of the people behind them, and behind the investment banks... it's always the same well known group of people, called "financial elite" that rules the world. Or, I should say, "rulED the world", since now they are so publicly exposed, that nobody trust them or their financial system anymore...
Quote from talknet:
Now, Germany has suffered the biggest economic loss among European countries because Germany is a export-powerhouse.
Russia is also suffering high economic loss & Russia is angry with USA because of Georgia war.
Both Russia & Germany are dangerous and both have bitter memories of USA past history.
The situation in India & Pakistan is "highly serious" and it can explode into a full-scale war anytime.
Taleban & Al-Qaeda is always planning to strike USA & Europe in a bigger way than 9/11 attacks.
The on-going Israel-Palestine war is bringing Islamic world together.
So there is no guarantee whether the world will see December 31, 2009

German soldiers are fat, unfit and too fond of cigarettes and stodgy food, according to a parliamentary report into the physical state of the army.
The report, an annual review of the state of the military, said Germany's soldiers were fatter than the average citizen - 40% are overweight, compared with 35% of civilians of the same age, while 8.5% are classed as "seriously overweight".
"It would be an enormous advantage on the battlefield if they shaped up," the defence ministry admitted yesterday.
The report, presented in Berlin by Reinhold Robbe, the parliamentary commissioner for the military, said soldiers, 70% of whom smoke, ate too much and did not move enough, either on or off duty. "This has much to do with poor equipment and lack of training," the report said. It added that bureaucracy got in the way of their physical fitness

I totally agree.
Rating agencies gave triple A to trillions of toxic products, and paved the way for people behind them to carry out the biggest fraud of the century.
Moreover we know well that rating agencies have always been used as a political weapons against companies or entire countries.
So, actually the ultimate responsibility is of the people behind them, and behind the investment banks... it's always the same well known group of people, called "financial elite" that rules the world. Or, I should say, "rulED the world", since now they are so publicly exposed, that nobody trust them or their financial system anymore...
