    It's not a nefarious agenda, Soros believes in a one world government and currency, and he's been very open about it - or at least he was. He has some kind of Messianic vision of himself and believes he's the one to bring it about - for the good of mankind of course. But is it good? Does the end ever justifies the means, and who is to decide what that end should be?

    I mean here we had the German Fuhrer with his 1,000 year Reich. It lasted a few years with 20 million dead. Before that it was Lenin with his worker's paradise. Now that one lasted 70 years with forty million dead. Now it's Soros with his one world government. All 'gods' in their own right and a law unto themselves.

    Take that you fools of misery.
    For we the gods of lofty see,
    are watching you from our great height
    and snicker at the motley sight
    of lesser beings, not as bright
    as us.


    It's why we always set the rules
    so we can lord it over fools,
    who knowest not what's really good,
    and they should.

    It's us! - Jeannette

    If he want a one world govt then that is nefarious to me.. The rich are entitled to run things.. Or so.it seems. Only they know better! The arrogance of wealth.

    The only real and actual moneymaker is the government. Making money is the government's main function. All the people do is shift it around a little

    I doesn't matter - the only question is: is the post is true or completely stupid. You are the judge.

    Exactly - I was referring to my commentary too. Is the person who post a such commentary is telling the truth, of he is complete idiot - you are the judge.

    Except that you're just expressing your opinion. Hard to fact check that.

    Actually not - I am not expressing my opinion. I found it is more fun to express opinions of...I cannot say "idiots", because admins will delete my post, so lets say - opinions of people who have different thinking process than my.
    When someone says 2+ 2 = 5, instead of convincing him that 2+2=4, I prefer to argue 2+2=10000.

    Fear not! The Federal Reserve is printing money as quickly as they can.

    The right demand corporate goodies for any carrots they give to the people

    the stock market is going up cause the debt is going up by Trillions, the fed is buying stock, what happens when they stop buying and start selling

    this has never happened before, so no one knows what will happen

    will the fed ever be able to sell, will they just keep printing money and buying more forever to keep the failing Trump economy afloat?

    Is it radical liberalism to acknowledge that trickle down economics has been proven to be an abject failure? Sorry, but I see nothing radical about that. The OP's sarcasm is perfectly reasonable IMO.

    Pelosi and Schumer offered to meet the GOP halfway, but they won't budge. Your irritation is mis-directed

    It isn't that simple. There are some fundamental problems with McConnell's bill.

    I found this yesterday, a really good side-by-side comparison of the two bills:

    The only "people on the left" who want Pelosi to cave are those more worried about getting re-elected than about what's best for the people.

    Most Americans don't own stock. The DJIA is not a meaningful indicator of economic health.

    Soros himself has written several books, why not start with one of those?
