And who REALLY is going to cough up the money, which represents a fraction of the theft? And what will the goddam government buy with it? 50 cases of ben-waa balls and sex toys and goddam quiche pies for Obama, Bush43, that lanolin lip moth________ Tony Blair and the prancing poodle mother _______s in congress. What will the people whose investments were stolen get? The pennies left after the drones of the nation piss away the rest on their own vacations. That WalStreetPro dude may have something. I will keep it on tap. Not to be overused lest the focus be dimmed.
