Even worse, the financial sector is generating something like 40% of the profit in the US economy.
On top of that, students that go to university to take engineering or a variety of other degrees that most of us would consider a higher standard program are being hired by Goldman and other finance companies who offer huge bonuses and a better salary than companies like Google, Facebook or Apple.
Result is all the people with the skills to actually start something, or be innovators are being sucked into an industry where the promise of a huge bonus prompts them to take huge risks.
The whole system is screwed up.
And if nothing changes the worst is yet to come.
