Whatever but I’m still in shock and awe that so many financial gurus, world class economists, CEOs of huge corporations and CFOs the world over and all areas of government, oversight committees, regulators were caught in this debacle for so long. I ain’t got no economics degree but I was taught that 1. There is no free lunch and 2. If it’s too good to be true, it probably isn’t true and 3. You can’t get something for nothing forever. Some simple farm economic theory from my dad who didn’t finish 8th grade.

I am not a conspiratorial-type person and I truly believe that it was just greed that is going to bring this down. But - if I were a conspiratorial person - there is no better way to get rid of the middle class of a society than what they are doing right now.
