Fiddlers always survive

Typical for every crisis is, that the guys who caused it are not really hit. A good example are the communist leaders of the German Democratic Republic which went bancrupt in 1989 and was “bought” by the the Federal Republic of Germany much like  bancrupt banks are bought now by government. The most important subject during the reunion negotiations was how the the salaries and pensions of the communist leaders are secured after the breakdown of the country.  These crooks now receive “Salaries and Pensions of Honor” much like ministers and government employees in the West. Guess what will be the most important subject when the government takes over the control of banks?
