Wall Street isn't happy with us

In 2008, the financial sector collapsed and nearly brought down our whole economy. What were the ingredients behind that crash? Recklessness on Wall Street and a willingness in Washington to play along with whatever the big banks wanted. 

Years have passed since the crisis and the bailout, but the big banks still swagger around town. And when Citigroup and the others don't quite get their way or Washington doesn't feel quite cozy enough, they quickly move to loud, public threats. Their latest move is a stunner.
