Sub-prime Crisis and Silence of the Liberal Bloggers
Around U.S. $200 billions went down the drains.
Around U.S. $135 billions were written off by taking loans from Mid East and China.
Around 10 biggies in Wallstreet laid off their CEOs or if the CEO was spared then who-ever he/she found to take the blame.
And all because of this ?
We can be either sprititual and blame that human greed is the cause all the woes.
Or try be pragmatic and pin-point that the major cause was the lack of regulations.
The proponents of free market solutions to anything and everything from child-education to saving extinct species - the leading liberal bloggers of desi blogosphere are suspisiously silent on the issue.
But knowing their shortsightedness [1] it's neither suprising nor amusing.
[1] Almost all the subprime SIVs had AAA ratings by all leading rating agencies. How do you apply caveat emptor in these situations.
