Default Did you see the movie "Inside Job" ?

On my way back to Paris, I watched this movie during the flight.
Not a new one though but I did not have the chance to watch it before.

It explains the "reasons" of the financial and economic crisis of 2008, which is still here as you all know.

I was completely shocked by what I saw. I already knew some parts of it, but the way this document demonstrate these facts is impressive.

To me, the most incredible thing is that the makers of the crisis are free in their castles, jets and yachts. Compared to them, Madoff is a complete amateur. They should be in jail like he is. They built a huge Gizmo pyramid. They made a real robbery. They knew what they were doing. They were inside the highest spheres of the political power and used this power for their own benefit.
The most frightening thing is that the deregulation which allowed these horrible facts is still unchanged. We are all paying for this, and the poor people, not only in the US but everywhere on the planet are suffering in their body.
The financial lobby is still here to make people believe that establishing proper financial rules and regulations would be a privation of "liberty", while all they are waiting for is their liberty to make any crazy thing that could increase their fortune. This is only my opinion of course. The world is going crazy. What will be the share of our kids ?

Did you see this movie ? What did you think of it ?
