We are in agreement that what Goldman Sachs and their ilk have done is far worse than what any politician has done. I don't expect to see them convicted or imprisoned, though.

We don't really know whether the reactions of Bush and Obama to the Great Recession were mistakes. We don't know what would have happened if they had done nothing.
