“The ends justifies the means” thinking never left Wall Street (or corporate America, for that matter).

As I just posted on another thread: avarice is as deadly a sin as lust.
Aye, it’s been with us since the dawn of time, who is so naive as to think it would ever leave?
Why is that when there is a Republican administration (Reagan in the 80’s and Bush now) that the media calls it GREED, but when there is a Democrat administration (Clinton in the 90’s) the media calls it GROWTH? Both the tech bubble and the major accounting scandals of Enron, Adelphia, etc., occured primarly in the 90’s.
