Eric Cantor should be brought up on ethics violations. He is short U.S. bonds through the ETF
Ultrashort 20+ Treasury

"Eric Cantor, the Republican Whip in the House of Representatives, bought up to $15,000 in shares of ProShares Trust Ultrashort 20+ Year Treasury ETF last December, according to his 2009 financial disclosure statement."

There will be a lot of money made by this anti-American representative if the debt limit is not raised
