I didn't want to derail any of the serious and largely (to me)incomprehensible economics discussions we're having in other threads, so I'm sticking this up on it's own for a little light relief.
Ran across this article today in Time and thought it might be worth a little finger-pointing and whining, which always leaves me feeling a bit cheerier in the midst of economic chaos. It's a list of the 25 people Time has picked as being the most blamable for what's going down, with a little summary of why they rate this high honor--and you can vote on your personal ranking as well. So get your wax warm and start making your own personal voodoo-economics dolls after perusing:
The Top 25 Economic Losers
(this is Time's pick.)
Here's the list by popular vote.
My personal favorite is Phil Gramm at # 2, and #1, respectively, but there's a lot to be said for The American Consumer(#5) Alan Greenspan, Bush, Paulsen, Chris Cox and Clinton, among others.
There's also a handy list of the Top Ten Financial Crisis Buzzwords--can you say credit default swap, boys and girls?
Enjoy.
