Wasn't Soros one of the guys behind the "open borders" deal?

If so, he must bear his share of the responsibility for torpedoing the value of housing through overbuilding with the use of low cost Mexican labor.

If I want any crap out of Georgie Soros, I’ll unscrew his head and dip it out. He needs to shut up and just go away. He played a big part in getting us into this mess.

Also, he said, it should create more money to offset the collapse of credit and then rapidly pull that cash out of the system when inflation emerges. The government would have to be very nimble in the timing of such moves, he said.

If we could pull the money out at exactly the right moment, we'd be soooooo good we'd never have gotten in this mess in the first place...

So we should do what Soros thinks is best? What do we not know?

How allies of George Soros helped bring down Wachovia Bank

http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/09/how_allies_of_george_soros_hel.html


Soros has developed an empire of so-called 527 groups, putatively independent political activists groups that have influence within the Democratic Party. These 527 groups include the Center for American Progress, MoveOn.Org, Human Rights Watch, Media Matters and a slew of other like-minded groups .

This set of political organizations also includes the International Crisis Group, whose foreign policy staff is likely to contain the embryonic future of the State Department in an Obama Administration . Eli Pariser, who heads MoveOn.Org, boasts about his group’s role in the Democratic Party:

“Now it’s our party: we bought it, we own it, and we are going to take it back.”

The top four donors to these 527 groups in the last Presidential election cycle (2004) were Soros, Peter Lewis of Progressive Insurance, Steven Bing, and Herbert and Marion Sandler . Collectively they gave 78 million dollars to left-leaning 527 groups. That was just in 2004. They have become much more ambitious over the last few years.
Soros, Lewis, and the Sandlers form a core group of billionaire activists and Democrat partisans who have formed a group called The Democracy Alliance. They realized that they could magnify their power by working in unison and tapping other wealthy donors to further their agenda (the superb Boston Globe article “Follow the money” is a good primer on how money and 527 groups have come together to have a huge impact on politics in America).

The Democracy Alliance is a major avenue to help them achieve their goals. The roster of its growing membership consists of a list of billionaires and mere multi-millionaires who collectively hope to give upwards of 500 million dollars each year to further promote a left-wing agenda. A partial roster of the Democracy Alliance membership can be found here.

Half a billion dollars a year can purchase a great deal of influence.

The worse the left makes this sound, the more they can point to the incredible job Obama did when the economy recovers. Where was Soros when we were being told during the Clinton administration that cyclical economic downturns and recession were a thing of the past, and wouldn't happen anymore? Wasn't that shortly before the dot com bust?

There are many contributing factors responsible for our current economic woes, and plenty of blame to go around, but the social engineering of the Soros-backed left has been one of the biggest. The irony is that in their quest to ‘spread the wealth’ the left has contributed to one of the biggest losses of overall US wealth in history, and ultimately the people who will suffer the most are those the left thinks they are helping.

Soros is the hidden money behind Obama. Someday, someone will connect the dots and put this slime in jailed, then stripped of his citizenship and deported. It couldn’t happen to a better crook!

Soros? The mastermind of evil? The man who would buy the world, starting with the USofA?

THAT Soros?

Whatever he says, do the opposite.

""The economies of the world are falling off a cliff. This is a situation that is comparable to the 1930s. And once you recognize it, you have to recognize the size of the problem is much bigger," he said."

I guess I ought to go buy the canning jars as my neighbor suggested.

The bursting housing bubble "acted like a detonator that exploded a much larger bubble," he said...crocodile tears - Soros got rich betting against the British currency - I wonder how much he made betting against the US mortgage markets - for that matter, I wonder how much his flunkies in the Soros-owned Democrat party helped manipulate the markets (by denying there was any trouble with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac until it was too late) so that he could make big bucks.....

The world will be much safer when this NAZI collaboraor dies. He’s much too old and hateful to last too much longer.
