“Big banks churn out page after page of incomprehensible fine print to obscure the cost and risks of checking accounts, credit cards, mortgages and other financial products. The result is that consumers can't make direct product comparisons, markets aren't competitive, and costs are higher.

That's real stimulus - money to families, without increasing our national debt.”

And of course it gives me and John a nice chance to perform and show off which is also fun.”

The important point is that it is leveling the playing field of global society. It is creating de-facto an entirely new set of political realities. None of the constipated, oligarchic structures that are resisting this were ever asked. Their greed betrayed them into investing in this in the first place without ever fully grasping what the implications of it were for their larger agenda.”

Not exceptional treatment, but are just simply treated fairly, on a level playing field within Europe.”
