We must force financial institutions to simplify, not obfuscate. Numbers do not lie if they are all in plain sight. Everyone in the chain must be held accountable, from credit-ratings to accounting, from loan originators...oh wait, maybe if loan originators actually had to hold onto their debt we'd never be in this situation in the first place.
If you look at your annual budget, the big portion of that cannot be even audited. Ask more about it from GAO - a government organisation.Contracts can be awarded without competitive bidding. There was a case of a defence related organisation paying $ 999,999 for delivering a small consignment a few hundred miles away in the US, just because the special courier company knew that nothing below one million is audited and checked.
If this is the way a country like US is managed, GOD only can help and HE is helping so far.
Although I am a product of a business school, I cannot say that our business schools are producing all honest and ethical students. There is so much emphasis on money and profits that the means take a beating. We are producing more greedy people than the country can absorb and hence you get all sorts of deals.
MAY GOD HELP THE US.
