bunts reported new fukushima the u.k. is committed to expanding its facilities but experts are warning london's persistence with its nuclear project poses a massive security threat. when the financial crisis hit four years ago the banks looked doomed didn't they will now simulate against the odds they're back in profit but others have been so lucky next the nati here's my first bit of journalist tybee explains how the banks are escaping scot free. to sitting down with author investigative journalist and contributing editor to rolling stone magazine matt thank you so much for joining us thank you for having me now let's get right into it you've dedicated a large part of your work and your career to discovering and investigating the events that led up to the economic crisis awaits and the events that happen after and during the whole chaos and my question to you is where is where does everyone

stand now it really looks like the politicians have moved on wall street has moved on certainly from that whole extravaganza and yet we have millions of people left basically to manage for themselves what do you make of all about well i think we're at a period now we're kind of at a crossroads where the if the government moves forward and doesn't make major changes and. pressed forward with wide scale prosecutions i think this is kind of like their last opportunity to do that for the last three years or so they really haven't taken anybody to court and all there's really been no law enforcement whatsoever and i think that's something that people are talking all about a lot of wall street they're kind of wondering when you know the you know the sure is going to drop and i personally am hopeful that they actually will do something it's just it's too late but it's at least it will come naturally better than nothing right now it's interesting that you've been pointing out that you know bernie madoff the ponzi scheme are very famous case and you've been saying that the

reason he ended up being you know one basically the only one who ends up in jail so far for significant period of time is because he was the one who impacted the rich and the reason that everybody else is still held accountable because they you know impacted people who don't really have a voice apparently you know that i think that's absolutely the case has been made off was a good target for a couple of reasons number one. he really had nothing to do with the systemic corruption. led to the crash of two thousand and eight he was just a street criminal who could have existed in any time period and so he was unconnected to all the really serious stuff that went on on wall street and also the scale of it was even though it was big for the people who invested in his funds it wasn't anything like the scale of the fraud that went on of the big banks for instance there was that and then of course the fact that his rectum was were actors in hollywood other than other people in manhattan and wall street. that was really

the reason why he ended up getting picked it's been over two years and a lot of people politicians people in the media are saying you know it's time to move on let's let's start growing again and stop talking about the economic collapse are you still angry and or who is your anger directed at that whole attitude well it's already over let's not bother going back and you know stirring up you know the hornets nest of you know all these troubles that are in the past i think that's a really dangerous attitude because the number one thing that came out of this whole period is that there were absolutely no consequences for any of the people who committed this wide scale fraud we had these massive bailouts and there's an enormous amount of public anger about that if you couple the bailouts with the lack of law enforcement the lack of prosecutions there's really no incentive going forward for people on wall street not to commit crimes especially if they're incredibly profitable. you know people on wall street look at that and they say hey

if i rip off you know a pension fund or insurance company or a foreign bank. or a foreign hedge fund there will be absolutely no consequences basically the only lesson they've learned is that they can do anything and get away with anything and that's just right and even if it all blows up even if we get completely wrong you know the worst case scenario is that the government is going to come in and bail us out with taxpayer money so obviously the c.e.o.'s are not going to be bankers are not going. tara much about homelessness joblessness and all that mess they've created but why don't politicians really make more of an effort at this point i mean it's been enough time over two years to kind of start doing something to put stuff back together to put the puzzle back i think there's a lot of reasons for that i think our politicians are completely isolated from what most people in america are really going through they don't spend a lot of time with people who are struggling they don't know what it's like to not be able to make a home payment or out of your house foreclosed upon. the horrible thing about this

is that this isn't some small segment of the population we're talking about this is becoming a mainstream thing where what used to be the middle class in this country is now facing foreclosure and huge numbers i mean millions of people at a time are going into foreclosure or losing their houses or losing their life savings but i think the people who are running this country don't really see that their entire experience is limited to a very small circle of people who see a very different america one that's very affluent so you've got a little further if you could literally describe the relationship between wall street and washington in one sentence really what would that it's completely commingled a it's. it's a revolving door of interests where. people on wall street are either directly effect sponsoring the politicians in washington with campaign contributions and soft money and that sort of thing or else they are actually politicians who or what can really change that who has the power to do it who has the force to do it and

you know who would be interested in changing that will voters obviously have the ability to make those changes they have they have the ability to not choose politicians who are beholden to wall street theoretically but the problem is wall street heavily sponsors both the republican and the democratic parties so automatically no matter who becomes the front running candidate for the presidency is going to be a creature of wall street look at barack obama who i personally admired her on during his campaign of two thousand and eight but if you look at his his his record goldman sachs was his number one private campaign contributor third party is you know is that even an option or is that never going to happen in this country. there are seriously i don't see it becoming a major having a major impact i think you might see the occasional politician who is who is really not part of the world not run so you know if people are obviously understanding at

this point that democrats and republicans are different sides of the same coin with not just in that they don't know really because. i think your average american does doesn't see that i think. ordinary people are very seduced and mesmerized by this you know phony media created division between blue and red and left and right and democrats and republicans and people are are conditioned to believe that there are enormous profound differences between these two parties whereas the reality is their differences are mostly superficial and on the important questions of how the economy is run and how to regulate the economy they're exactly the same but i don't think ordinary can. well know that what about the village between the media and washington d.c. like you say they represent either one or the other really these days the mainstream media where does that take us what kind of a really situation does that create in the us and who is supposed to kind of revamp

at this point people who have this image of. american news media as being. some kind of top down corrupt good energy that is pumping out propaganda that's not really the way it works it's really the sort of nihilistic. purely for profit entity that is just out to make money and in the process of doing that they're completely they have absolutely no interest whatsoever in in doing social interest reporting it will just do whatever it is that's going to attract the most advertising and so as far as politics goes that means playing up this whole reality show narrative of you know the left versus right and so that's our problem there's there's you know these are for profit companies and there's no money in doing the right thing so that's what that's how we get the media we have some kind of situation does that create you know if what you're saying we have washington alex

and please wall street wall street out to make profit corporations and the mainstream media out to make profit who is out there to do something to you know maybe do something for the american people for example we need to help right now there are a lot of good people in government there are a lot of good people and media the problem is systemically. they're never going to be able to get take hold because the forces that work or are powerful and they're entrenched and they're also very efficient i mean the. media companies they do make a lot of money and so it's going to take an awful lot to move them off their commercial model and i just don't see that happening so real change is not coming anytime soon i don't see it i mean i think you could have incremental change and i think you know if there are big enough. he says you might even see significant changes but. for the most part of the way it's set up it's just really an uphill climb for ordinary people to. get their issues in front of the right politicians

and get real change. made do you think a crisis of oh wait wasn't big enough is that just the beginning should we kind of expect something worse something you would have thought that that would have been big enough for me you would have expected a crisis of that magnitude would have motivated to government to make significant changes but they really didn't i guess it will have to be something worse before they could for they you know make those rule changes if we switch gears a little bit and talk about you know go from the people who are pocketing all this money to the way that money is being thrown around the globe. first of all militarily of course because that's a serious issue with the wars ongoing in the u.s. i mean that the u.s. is participating and researching on this a little bit why isn't this money being put into creating factories opening up you know manufacturing jobs really picking up the middle class back up from its knees. that's just not the way. the american political mainstream thinks i mean richfield if you look at the what happened when obama pass the seven hundred billion dollars

stimulus that was ostensibly to create jobs and it was it was a government program to help put people back to work there was an enormous coast to coast out reject the idea that the government has any business trying help people put people back to work on the other hand when we spend ten or fifteen times that bailing out wall street after two thousand and eight. there was nothing like the same kind of outcry or when we spend a comparable amount of fighting pointless and idiotic and bloody wars of conquest in faraway places when we spend enormous sums of money on endeavors like that again there isn't the same kind of outrage you call it always idiotic why do you think the politicians fail to see that what is really do you think the underlying purpose of libya for example for you libya i don't know i mean i think this wasn't this was in a situation like iraq where the united states had

a clear long term plan. to go into this country. and went in there with their eyes wide open if you look at it rock in afghanistan to me those are more. indicative of what we look for and what they're thinking about in terms of foreign policy they have these long. military stalemates deployments that are going to go on forever and ever and ever and that are going to cost one hundred two hundred billion dollars a year and they're the official policy of the united states is that is to keep these things going in to have a presence and that region i think it's political inertia this point you know if you look at afghanistan for instance clearly i think the main reason that we're there is because the democratic party views that. gana stan is our war and it's their way of going into an election season and being able to say that you know we're just as tough as the republicans it's not that we're against war per se we

just didn't like the iraq war so look here we are in afghanistan we're tough that's really the only reason we're there so that you know barack obama doesn't have to take criticism that he's weak and limp wristed all right let's say we thank you very much for your time and thank you. culture is the same i understand my family and therefore you will most likely be at least five years in the markers of the war on drugs has been declared a failure the us government has spent more than two point five trillion dollars fighting this campaign over the past forty. wealthy british style. sometimes like. the. market
