21st Century Economics: 1. Rampant fraud and reckless mismanagement in the financial sector, 2. Public bailouts of the worst actors in the financial sector, 3. Private debt and liability imposed on taxpayers, 4. Monetary policy aimed at recapitalizing insolvent and recidivist banks, 5. Promotion of business leaders and policy-makers who are chronically compromised, 6. Conglomeration of Systemically Dangerous Institutions into a more empowered menace.

Bill Black: JOBS Act is Invitation to Commit Fraud
Bill Black on the JOBS Act: Fundamentally this Act brings to equities the equivalent of shadow banking - which enabled the crisis to take place. Opaqueness - which the JOBS Act creates - is one road to disaster. It is a dream bill for every pump and dump scam in existence. We already had endemic problems way beyond the SEC's ability to deal with. It is truly an atrocity.
