It doesn't seem like we learn our lessons. There's a meltdown of some sort. Congress enacts some kind of oversight. Things calm down. People (usually in large financial corporations) complain that everything is fine, we should get rid of that burdensome oversight so we can make more money... And we're off on another adventure in financial malfeasance. Given the current administration, we're due for another blowup in a few years.

I think it was Mark Twain who said history doesn’t repeat itself but it does rhyme. ;-)
