But the derivatives and repo markets present risks that are poorly understood, difficult to communicate in the media, and hard for politicians to debate and resolve.

公众对福岛危机和衍生品危机的观感也截然不同。许多人恐惧于肉眼可见的核风险，出于安全考虑不断延缓核工业的发展。但对衍生品和再购协议市场的风险人们却知之甚少，媒体难以报道，政治家也难以讨论解决。在危机袭来时，这些市场受到了公众的注意和嘲讽，但随着经济形势逐步稳定，普通民众就对此话题失去了兴趣，于是金融业又能利用立法机关为所欲为了。
