I'm sure all this was AAA rated up until the day they filed for bankruptcy. Don’t forget the ratings agencies. I’m sure all this was AAA rated up until the day they filed for bankruptcy.

I'm confused by your 'tags' because you don't relate anything that suggests 'IOKIYAR, Republicans Are Good With Money' unless I am so dense that I didn't realize that KPMG and/or New Century were hardcore Republicans. I suspect that if you were going to make the case that the Republican President and the Republican controlled Congress could have/should have enacted legislation to further criminalize this behavior but you didn't do that so the tags don't seem appropriate. One final thought...perhaps the President should just issue an executive order (they are as good as law aren't they?) requiring accounting firms to self report their own corruption like he did for the contractors in Iraq because that makes everything run so much better.
