Some investigations were simply stopped dead in their tracks.
In 2008, the FBI complained that they could not properly investigate the housing collapse because so many assets were tied up with the war on Terrorism.
Since then, the Dept. of Justice has declined to investigate the 2008 collapse, largely leaving it to the New York and California Attorney Generals. After the states had provided enough information to make the endeavor worthwhile to pursue at the federal level, Eric Holder comes out with his "Too big to prosecute" bullshit.
Currently we are building massive surveillance capability to counter terrorism, meanwhile, a man from Goldman Sachs has a seat on the cabinet, and Goldman Sachs has been recently implicated with manipulating copper and aluminum prices. All this, despite the fact that the Joint Chiefs of Staffs have declared that economic instability trumps terrorism as the primary threat to US Security.
But for some reason, we must build that giant fucking server center in Utah.
"Heckuva Job Larry!", says the President.
