Lawmakers Uninformed About Financial Crisis
In a very interesting interview with Vanity Fair, Michael Lewis talks about his new book The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine and a meeting he had with 40 or 50 House Republicans late last year.

Said Lewis: "I was supposed to be there for an hour. I was there for almost three. And nobody left. And their questions were increasingly: 'Oh my God, Goldman Sachs did what? A.I.G. did what?' They didn't understand it... The minute they started to understand, they were outraged. And I think the more things are explained, the more outraged people will get."
