Just thinking about the remarks made today by that Green Party TD about the 'scum' who got the world into so much trouble and brought the financial markets to their knees, and how instead of being baled out they should be getting 'banged up'.
Do we agree?
Personally I tend to agree with him. People out there were gambling on a scale we couldn't even imagine, and there was meant to be people monitoring what they were doing, yet it still was allowed to happen. Around the world there are a lot of very guilty people.
As far as I remember Nic Leeson served jail time for what he did, and that was 'only' around the £750,000,000 mark. So surely if we need a bailout of anywhere between $700billion - $1trillion then people should be suffering for it.
