Wow, Friedman finally got his head out of the Ivy League's anus! Whatever, I support him...

I'm just keen to drive the message home as vigourously as possible who the real culprits in this mess are

GREAT ARTICLE! Thank you for posting.

I especially like the conclusion:

"Capitalism and free markets are the best engines for generating growth and relieving poverty — provided they are balanced with meaningful transparency, regulation and oversight. We lost that balance in the last decade. If we don’t get it back — and there is now a tidal wave of money resisting that — we will have another crisis. And, if that happens, the cry for justice could turn ugly. Free advice to the financial services industry: Stick to being bulls. Stop being pigs."
