While I listened I was browsing through the New York Times and came across this new ad from Goldman Sachs, the "vampire squid" of Taibbi's title. I guess they're tired of laying low. Time to go after a new batch of suckers by dangling their version of the American Dream in front of them -- you know, "give us your money and watch it grow from the bunkbed days of your childhood to the 10-acre ranch of your future." Ironically, the ad seemed to confirm one of the things Taibbi was talking about: Why did Wall Street get away with it? One reason was that what they actually did was so complicated that the American public never really understood what happened to them. Still don't. And so it's starting all over again.
