New CNBC Video Dr. Doom & The Black Swan: Complete Interview of Nouriel Roubini and Nassim Taleb

Some of you saw this live on Monday.  I am posting for those who missed it.  The clip runs just short of 10 minutes.  It's outstanding.  I love that Taleb wants the failed bank CEOs fired.  I prefer listening to Taleb over Roubini any day. Excellent stuff.  For the newcomers, these are the 2 gentleman who have been given the most credit for understanding and predicting our current crisis.  Whether it is deserved is another question, but these are the annointed two.

As Rachel Maddow's guest pointed out last night, the Merrill Lynch bonusses, fraudulently calculated to have the appearance that would deceive the US government and BoA (so it claims) both of being paid before the bailout, equal THE ENTIRE AMOUNT WE USUALLY GIVE TO FIGHT AIDS AND OTHER DISEASES annually in the Third World.
I enjoy this site and other sources of what is coming to be called Recession Porn, scandal stories about our corrupt finance system where as has been well said you have the amusement that comes from seeing yourself f***ked, but that thought makes my stomach turn over.
If we cannot get a hold on this kind of theft, how are we going to differ from the Philippines?
Even they took Imelda's shoes back. Some of them.

Loan mods are very bad

What happens if someone claimed to earn $150K/year in 2005. But actually only earned $90K and now wants a loan mod?

Instead of a loan mod, perhaps this person should get a subpoena?

NO Loan MODS!!!!!!!

[Brasco]

The worst part is the loan broker crooks that were doing all the stated income are now only doing loan mods. I agree with the poster, instead of a mod, they should be getting fined for lying in the first place. The US government wants to hold hand with every stupid homeowner that can't afford their home?? this is a joke. Fu*k lona mods!!!
