Nolimitholdem, maybe do some research before you pooh-pooh some obvious things going on in the world. Its all about the Benjamins, follow the money, it is as simple as that.
Who owns what, who stands to gain from this or that? The USA middle class is being sucked dry. Billions of public funds to private international investment bankers who caused the problems to start with. Where is the return to the regular guy? That money is gone! Never waste a good crisis.
