======================
Folks, what we're observing here is the ultimate brain dump.   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.
