The whole country is going bankrupt thanks to the deregulation of the banking industry and the invention of their very own stock market.

From the AP:

Richard Portes of the London Business School agreed (to the blame placed on 'external circumstances'), noting the banks were well-capitalized and had not bought any of the toxic debt that has brought down banks elsewhere.

"I believe it is absolutely wrong to say these banks were reckless," said. "Quite the contrary. They were hugely unlucky."

Yeah, okay, Dick. May I call you Dick?
