Robert Scheer: The Great American Stickup October 25, 2010

The Great American Stickup: How Reagan Republicans and Clinton Democrats Enriched Wall Street While Mugging Main Street.

The great banking meltdown of 2008 has largely been described by bankers, politicians and the mass media as unexpected in its severity and the result of complex investment instruments that are exceedingly difficult if not impossible to penetrate.

In The Great American Stick-Up, Scheer revisits those years of business lobbying when the politicians of both parties rolled over for the banks, in order to show that this fiasco could have been anticipated and that there are culprits responsible that should be named and who continue to wield enormous power over our lives.
