The sum total of this fellow's knowledge splattered every where in hope that one jab will hit the mark. Unfortunately, as with most socialists, his mind doesn't working in logical sequences. Therefore, the fact that high interest rates in the early '90's and subsequent huge losses by the banks are confused with low interest rates in the rest of the decade and corresponding record profits. From a socialist's point of view, and Maude's for that matter, one can extract the juicy tidbits from each of those periods and manage some kind of conspiracy scenario.
