  • Why Wall Street Should Stop Whining
    In a new blog post, Rolling Stone's unparalleled Matt Taibbi eviscerates a ridiculous new New York magazine piece. "The End of Wall Street as They Knew It" is a preposterous piece that argues Wall Streeters have it tough in this economy because their bonuses have shrunk. (That's bonuses - extra money in addition to their salary and stock options and more.) To quote Taibbi: "Since 2008, the rest of America has suffered a severe economic correction. ... When the crash hit, regular people could not make up the difference through bailouts or zero-interest loans from the Fed or leveraged-up synthetic derivative schemes. They just had to deal with the fact that the economy sucked - and they adjusted. This ought to have been true also on Wall Street, but...the financial services industry somehow managed to maintain its extravagant lifestyle standards in the middle of a historic global economic crash that, incidentally, they themselves caused."
