Hearing this morning about the fall of Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch and others, and tracing the source of the problem to our government's giving in to sentiment and forcing banks to lend to unqualified borrowers (thus getting the banks addicted to an unwholesome financial practice) ...
I was reminded of one of the last lines from "Three Days of the Condor", which could easily be said to our "leaders" in D.C. about their actions both then and now:
"Oh, you... you poor dumb son of a b-----. You've done more harm than you know."
