#TheInsideJob

After struggling through some economics/ government terms and concepts we finally finished the movie and I was able to understand WHY the economic crisis occurred in United States on 2008. People say that it was a bubble that suddenly burst, but without doubt it was all anticipated.

What most stood out to me from the film was that bankers and all the corrupt people responsible for this crisis knew all along that they were making wrong decisions and gambling money that wasn't theirs. Nothing stopped them, not even guilt, they still did it because it was for their own benefit.

Bankers and CEO's were making tons of money; money that they didn't deserve. They had wrong INCENTIVE$ which lead them to the wrong outcomes. 

INCENTIVES MATTER, people with wrong incentives made bad decisions and ignored the i m p a c t of their actions which lead to this C A T A $ T R O P H E. Money was everything, it was all they had in mind. It helped them escape their problems caused by the illegal activities , it became a handy weapon to manipulated people and companies to do whatever they wanted and it became the reward, millions of dollars were made by these bankers. 

This documentary opened my eyes to the world, a sad truth.  It made me realize that its is not all  smiles and honesty there are cruel people out there how don't care about anyone but themselves. Corruption happened, and it still does, inside those expensive bank buildings. How can you be capable of harming so many families, friends and innocent citizens and be proud? It was not only a little mistake but a HUGE fiasco.

In the end the bankers and companies were not the only ones affected, the entire society was. Even those who didn't have a say in the decisions made by the corrupt banks or the government. These type A personality bankers had all the power and took all the decisions. They had nothing more than just ambition in their blood. Their thirst for money went out of control. They were moving every card on the table and cheating as much as possible ONLY for the money. Nothing was fair everything was about LIES, LIES and LIES. This was the easiest and most profitable way to do it.

MONEY IS NOT EVERYTHING. 
In fact it is nothing if you use or earn it in the wrong way.
All the interviews collected and research done for this movies has helped explained the crisis in an excellent way. It is definitely a challenging topic but this film puts everything together in parts and highlights the most important aspect of the crisis. It does a great job of putting it all together in 1 hour and a half. Those who rejected to appear in the documentary are ashamed; they know they are wrong and this is why they didn't want to get interviewed. I would be embarrassed. 
The Inside Job is "the story of a crime without punishment"

The cartoons you found are perfect and illustrate the crisis well. I also like your concluding line!
