|  My normal level of skepticism is reaching paranoid proportions. Who can one trust, truly trust?
Can you trust the regulatory agencies charged with protecting you from thieves like Bernard Madoff who got away with his Ponzi scam for decades?
Can you trust the idiots in Congress who allowed Fannie and Freddie to get away with buying mortgages that were clearly credit unworthy, while the executives of these institutions enriched themselves with giant-sized compensation?
Can you trust the incompetent government intelligence services who failed to detect the truth about Saddam Hussein's weapons of mass destruction programs?
Can you trust the bankers and brokers who sliced up credit unworthy mortgages, packaged them with allegedly more secure mortgages and sold them off to other banks and investors who are equally guilty of stupidity?
