The New York Times is reporting that bankers are feeling "put-upon" by the Obama administration's fierce rhetoric over the economic crisis, but in the meantime, the majority of Americans are still suffering the aftershocks of the meltdown that shook Wall Street. Bankers might be back to making, as one fundraiser noted in the Times piece, $1 million to $200 million a year, but hundreds of thousands of Americans are still fighting foreclosure around the country and the administration is busy fundraising. We talk to Sarah Ludwig, co-director of the Neighborhood Economic Development and Advocacy Project; Nomi Prins, author of It Takes a Pillage: Behind the Bailouts, Bonuses, and Backroom Deals from Washington to Wall Street and senior fellow at Demos; Jennifer Gonnerman, New York Magazine contributor and award-winner writer of ?The Last House Standing? and Heather Booth, veteran grassroots organizer of 40 years, now serving as executive director of the new coalition, Americans for Financial Reform. They tell us what's really going on in the rest of America, the ones who aren't invited to fancy fundraisers.
