When I see headlines like this one, I always think these people are trying to appeal to the future generations who will look back in retrospect to figure out what happened and try to gain their trust and therefore control them once again. Currently everyone knows that these people are all part of the club and helped creating this mess, but imagine if a major depression hits, how warnings like this would read to the people who didn't have direct experience. "Woow, JP Morgan's CEO warned them but they didn't listen..."

Nobody would be able to remember exactly what $1000, $10 000 or $100 000 used to mean and when. Just like nobody today knows what $1000 meant in 1930, only vague compassions and useless charts.
