Commentary: Of Mu's and Banks

So WaMu has purchased by JPMorgan Chase (whoever they are). All things considered a lot more then just Mu's are taking 9999 on Wall Street. Perhaps one of the biggest indicators for me that this is a major problem is that it doesn't feel like a crisis. With Capital Hill scrabbling to pass a legislation that will either sink or save our country's economy and a Presidential election up-and-coming you'd think that I should be feeling something. A tinge of fear, perhaprs? Trepidation? Elation, maybe? I remain apathetic to the situation. Why try and stop a giant boulder from crushing you when you can simply step out of the way? Yes if enough people push against the rock it will slow, stop, and eventually move the opposite direction, but the question I ask is from which direction are people pushing? And who's been blindfolded?
