Although the stage was set and the players were on the field by the turn of the century, it was in 2007 that they went far enough to crush the world.
A Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas analysis of the 2007-09 financial crisis and its aftermath estimates the cost in the range of $15 trillion-$30 trillion, or $50,000 to $100,000 per American household. One to two years of output produced by 310 million U.S. citizens is down the drain.
Wall Street:Investigations uncovered specific decisions by Wall Street executives to defraud and misinform clients, and to artificially manipulate the national and world markets so they could bet against it and extract wealth from the induced downturns. Goldman Sachs executives perjured themselves before Congress, knowing full well they had done specifically what they denied.
Hank Paulson – former CEO of GoldmanSachs; later as Treasury Secretary, he led thebailout solution.In the documentary film Inside Job, Paulsonis cited as one of the persons responsible forthe Economic Meltdown of 2008 and named
Blame for the Financial Crisis".

And on Wall Street - "Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. No question, now, what had happened to the faces of the pigs. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which." – From George Orwell’s Animal Farm
