Schumer helped with Indy Mac and oddly then the govt sells it or pays Soros, J.S. Flowers, Paulson and Michael Dell to take it.
Soros, John Paulson and Flowers made a LOT more than the numbers listed destroying the financial markets to help Obama.
To hell it is!
It's just working toward the collapse of societies to make bucks. And it could be by force or fraud as with the British pound and the election of the Messiah.
As a longtime goldbug, of course I bought gold back in 2004, but that doesn't mean I want my country to collapse into Socialist impotence and/or tyranny.
