I disagree, I think St Pierre will do exactly the same thing with Jake Shields. His big advantage is that striking is a real threat so Shields has to respect, whereas Shields can only attempt takedowns which is much easier to defend if you're not worried about leg kicks and jabs.

I predict St Pierre in a decision, with Shields' face looking similar to Kos.

Ridiculous. I'm a Conservative, and I watch Fox News, and I trust everyone on Wall Street to do what is good for all Americans. That's what they're there for, to protect the wellbeing of Americans. If they weren't honest and stand-up people,devoting their lives to this nopble cause, with full knowledge of the science of Economics, they wouldn't have the important jobs they have on Wall Street. (Close sarcasm,)

Thanks for the entertainment.

To borrow a quote from this:

The AUDACITY AND ABSURDITY of wasting 5 minutes of my life reading the article should be a crime!

If you don't realise we have been scammed yet, then stay tuned. This is the biggest bamboozle in history, even bigger than John Law's destruction of France. John Law ended up dying in poverty and humiliation. Today's swindler's don't even have identifiable names or faces and will live in luxurious and peaceful anonymity, chuckling amonst themselves about how clever their scam was and how stupid we all are. They have stolen not only from everyone living on the planet, but from people not even born yet, going to several generations.

Ok I will be sure to block out some time in my calendar to look for it. It will go right next to the block of time I'll use to look for the news that Obama was really born in Kenya and the news showing proof 9/11 was a CIA-Israel conspiracy.

It is obvious that Willy likes to live in the dark. Here is even the Washington post saying the same thing.

Fed aid in financial crisis went beyond U.S. banks to industry, foreign firms

Here is the video nearly two years ago with Ben Bernanke refusing to say where the money went. Bernie Sanders kept his promise so we finally know exactly where our tax dollars went.

I'm not clear where this scam is, isn't one of the roles of the Fed to lend money to maintain stability in global markets?

From the Washington Post article referenced:

Fed officials emphasize that their actions were meant to stabilize a financial system that was on the verge of collapse in late 2008. They note that the actions worked to prevent a complete financial meltdown and that none of the special lending programs has lost money. (Some have recorded healthy profits for taxpayers.)

Keep your head in the sand, and pretend that all is well.
