10 Years Since The 2008 Financial Crisis

The financial crisis and the massive federal response reshaped the world we live in. Though the economy is in one of its longest expansions and stock indexes have hit new highs, many people across the political spectrum complain that the recovery is uneven and the markets' gains aren't fairly distributed. The Wall Street Journal takes a look at some of the most eventful aspects of the response and how we got to where we are today.

America lost a lot of strength and stability, there were no consequences for the most egregious offenders, and those involved are now part of the regulatory capture in the financial markets.

    You do have a choice, always. We are the only ones that limit our choices, and then blame others for the choices we make.

    Well, your words make sense, but your meaning doesn't. I can't assign any normal meaning to those words that doesn't sound irrational, if you don't consider refusing to vote a meaningful choice.

      :-) You presume much, and the blame passing should be obvious. It has totally monopolized mass media.
