What Ever Happened to Moral Hazard?

Cramer's Outrage

Mad Money host Jim Cramer discusses his outrage of the day.

Cramer can’t believe Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson says he had no legal authority to save Lehman Brothers, nor was there a buyer for the ailing investment bank. Especially when you consider Washington leapt to AIG’s rescue just a couple of days later. Lehman’s collapse was near catastrophic for the markets, so someone has to be held accountable.

This whole debacle is the subject of Cramer’s latest outrage. Check out the video for the full rant.
