I see no difference in having an account number and getting screwed and having millions of undocumented people without social security numbers screwing us. Six one way, half a dozen the other.

But you're right. The financial industry breathed a sigh of relief to be off the front page for a bit.

They are all corrupt. It will bounce back the other way soon enough.

A scandal for a scandal. Either way, both groups are destroying our great nation.
