Light Sweet Crude Oil
 
Member Quotes
Like the illusion of Wall Street, with its vast and powerful investment banks, now shuttered, China too is an illusion perpetuated by the Globalists that gave us the 15,000 mile Caesar salad, poisoned cat food and lead based paint on babies' pacifiers. Like the illusion that money would come from thin air to always push housing prices higher, China has spent a generation pursuing its illusion. Pursuing an unattainable dream to be like the West, while 6000 years of its carefully shepherded top soil blows into the sea.

If you ran a business that was so lousy, that you lost a million dollars a day, EVERY day, since Jesus was born, that would be just over $700B. And these people did it in just under 8 years.... ok, I know, they've blown through a lot more than that in 8 years, but it puts it in perspective.

First results are coming in...as we predicted. The bankers $700 B pocket money "bailout" ...is failing horribly.
I hate to say this but, 'Where are these terrorists when you need them'? Why do the American people support sending their sons&daughters half way round the world to fight ghosts...when you have a face and personification of evil in your livingroom stealing food money out of your babies mouths!
Why isn't every newspaper plastered with all the heads of banking screaming for accountability? This is not abstract thinking...this is blatent thievery.
This is IMPORTANT: These people will be laughing while the rest of us starve.... Mad
