    the answer to that question is simple. Yes. It is very clear from the line up at Treasury and the Fed that the White house is Wall St’s sock puppet.

  1. Instant classic.

  2. Complexity is mostly for opacity,  which together with trading off exchange facilitates trading profits.

    Complexity also provides a cover story to hide the fraudulent nature of the securities that were created. They hope that we believe that they did not know what they were doing. They did.
