money mess.

Don’t blame the mortgage lenders. The fault lies in those investment houses that swapped worthless pieces of paper, legally cooking the books, for almost a decade while they all collected bonuses in the millions of dollars based on the false gains. Not one of them has to give back a cent of their fraudulent gains. Quite the contrary, a few of the companies are again paying off Con gressment from the government bail out money. All legal. They may have, collectively, killed the goose that lays the golden egg.
