"Bankers made Trillions while we lost our savings because they bet against clients."

Pesach 'Pace' Lattin @pacelattin 2:48 PM - Feb 5, 2018 · Enterprise, NV

Bankers made Trillions while we lost our savings because they bet against clients.

They are doing it again.

dump their stocks - the little guy is wiped out. This is just one of the ways they steal money. They want all that Social Security money to play with as well.
