2008 Financial Crisis Cost Americans $12.8 Trillion: Report | Daily Ticker - Yahoo! Finance
It's been one year since the Occupy Wall Street movement and its
calls for income equality, Wall Street reform and less money in politics
swept the nation and forever changed the national discourse. OWS is
back after a hiatus and returned to Wall Street in celebration of its
one-year anniversary.
Roughly 1,000 gathered at four meeting points in downtown Manhattan early Monday, reports the Wall Street Journal.
The protesters were met with a heavy police presence and nearly a dozen
were arrested by the New York Stock Exchange by late morning.
It is also the four-year anniversary of the collapse of Lehman
Brothers -- a collapse that sparked the worst financial crisis since the
stock market crash of 1929 and the worst recession since the Great
Depression.
To date, there has not been a single comprehensive look at the total cost of the 2008 financial crisis. Until now.
12-8-trillion - and counting...
