Disagree Whip,

EasyAl the cop just allowed the carnys to wiggle out of losing hands, courtesy of the unwashed's taxes, currency value and ultimately, standard of living. And continue the tilted game. It just doesn't look like losses to the masses, yet. And it will take soooo long to show up they will never realize they were conned. Maybe things will turn around by that time and it never occurs to anyone? Likely they will become bored and forget in any event.

BTW, the "great unwashed" ain't a MB term. Been around for ever and a day, although he may have woven it into his lexicon from his days in my home state where it was as common a term as "Uffda". (Uffda is now a cute PC term; "great unwashed" gets you accused of being something lower than being in charge of gassing Jews or running the slave trade, not that anyone in the Socialist Republick of Minnesota had much to do with either.)

My point was this is a bit more sophisticated, and it seems I'm correct. The market has a natural growth, period. The question is how much of that do the carnys take and how much do the investors get? The carnys are getting mucho now, maybe all of it and more.

Regards, Ice
