“Daring to Say Loans Made No Sense”: in which the layman gets his due in daring to ask how in the hell did we get ourselves into this financial mess in the first place. Includes some quality linkage to an excellent “This American Life” episode that, if you are in as much of a mental quandary in regards to our current financial quagmire as I am, deserves you attention (the episode in question being popular enough to warrant a “sequel”, being broadcast next week).

Bad science, public/private collusion and sublimation of the public good for that of the private. No, it’s not big oil, the federal government and the price at the pump but the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, auto insurance companies, local governments, red light cameras, ticket revenue and public safety.
