Here’s what looks to be one of the better films about the financial crisis – INSIDE JOB – from Academy Award nominated filmmaker Charles Ferguson, narrated by Matt Damon.
Favorite line: “These people are risk takers, they’re impulsive. You see a lot of cocaine use, prostitution” and don’t miss another smackdown of Hubris Incarnate with a Fatter Wallet (Frederic Mishkin) at about the 1:35 mark.

I hope they focus on how big a ripoff the bailout was to ordinary americans… that’s what people should really be angry about. The fact that wall streeters are “risk takers” isn’t something to get upset about by itself; the problem is that the government has constantly gone in and shielded them (and their investors) from the downside of their risky behavior, at great cost to the taxpayers and savers of America.
“…cocaine use, prostitution.”
Wait, is this about Wall Street or Hollywood?
What’s the point? No one is going to jail. No one is going to lose their job.
The great con game was not the bogus profits built off securitized debts.
The great con game was getting the Bush administration to pick up the tab.
I’m sure this will be a real objective look at things. Matt Damon. What a joke.
