Drop the ball? when? Well, we know that they have been totally deregulated and running naked and free for at least 8 years. How does the SEC spell irresponsible?

It's hilarious to continually see everyone get riled up post facto when yet another hack leader or executive does a horrendous job; how about a little foresight?

When the inmates run the asylum for eight years, today's America is what you get; no oversight at any level of government or industry.

SEC? Federal Reserve? FEMA? Wall Street? Mortgage Lenders? Madoff?

Now we hear that Timothy Geithner, soon to be head of the Treasury, failed to pay personal income taxes and employed illegals.

Priceless leadership in a once proud nation.
