over 30 TRILLION (I think more like 40 trillion USD, as the 30 tril number is almost 5 years old and many of those programmmes kept running) in USD was globally shuffled into dark pools and OTC derivative overhang and off balance sheet loans and swaps.

For the same thing to happen again. These idiots filing Trump's cabinet positions could care less about the people. They only care about getting rich.

You know...

9/11 happened under Bill Clinton's watch.

It was Obama's Recession but the economy did rebound because of GWB's policies. (I fucking kid you not. For a brief time, Fox News tried to run with that talking-point.)

It was Obama who lost the Iraq-war by honoring the troop-withdrawal-plan that GWB had negotiated with Iraq.

And the economic downturn in 2018 or so will be the fault of Obama's failed policies. Because Trump is new at this and you have to give him some time to settle in. Give him a chance to succeed!!!
