so finance is now picking over the bones at a heavy discount
they directly caused the 2008 crisis
they've exacerbated this one by stripping everything to the bone over the last 30 years
and now they stand to profit?

this has nothing to do with class war as someone accused
i'm far from a grimy chimney sweep myself

An interesting report from Forbes
(hardly a bastion of anti-capitalism, the opposite in fact)

The excessive financialization of the U.S. economy reduces GDP growth by 2% every year, according to a new study by International Monetary Fund.
That’s a massive drag on the economy--some $320 billion per year. Wall Street has thus become, not just a moral problem with rampant illegality and outlandish compensation of executives and traders: Wall Street is a macro-economic problem of the first order.
