This is complicated,
BUT, of all Bush's torpedoes, including the Iraq War, and letting his buddies set the price of oil, there was nothing that did more damage to our future, than the appointment of Chris Cox, and a couple of other members of the SEC, (Securities Exchange Commission), that changed a MAJOR rule on Wall St, to enrich a few, and raid the 401K's of all the rest of us. Not to oversimplify it, but it is pretty simple. After the crash of the stock market in the 20's, a law, called the 'uptick rule' was put into place, to protect the small investor. In a nutshell, it said, 'You can only short a stock, as it is moving up, for obvious reasons. If you pound a stock, on the way down, it is gonna exacerbate the situation, and cause a crash. That rule was good for about 90 years, until the Bushies took over. They changed the rules. You can now pound a stock, on the way down, including NAKED shorting, where you can SELL a stock, when you don't even own it. Sounds impossible? Look it up. Bush appointees changed all the rules, and made fortunes, as they bankrupted the system. It also cost me a bunch as shadowy figures sold stock they didn't own. Never before possible, 'til the Bushies took over. The main place they made all their $ was in the financial stocks, as they killed all the major players, one at a time, on weakness that would have taken years to happen. Gotta go now, BUT, will be back. It is complicated, but very simple on a certain level, when you hook up with crooks that have the power to change the rules, as in oil prices and starting wars. A few make unbelievable profits, while the rest of us pay, and pay, and pay...
