Reply #23: As sequestered as they were, they still knew something

[Warpy]

rotten was happening after Countrywide narrowly escaped bankruptcy in August, 2007. Protecting the Republicans also protected their cash flow, so that part is true.

Nobody wanted a crash, yet that was what was about to happen. I think the power structure thought if it lied about it long enough through the media, either it wouldn't happen or the Republicans would get in for another four years and figure out another dishonest way to keep the game going for another few years.

Face it, I'm a retired RN in Podunk. If anybody is sequestered from the workings of the upper reaches of finance, it's me. Yet I knew what was going on.

I just don't buy the fact that they didn't. They might have been trying to lie to themselves while they lied to us, but they knew they were lying.
