ParticipantI’m confused. This seems like they called out a career politician for what his real motivations are…why does that piss you off? Do you like Jerry Brown and hate to see him attacked?
I don’t watch a ton of news because most don’t try to see through the politicians BS and instead just pass the message along to the ignorant masses.
He didn’t answer the question. He didn’t deny he is running for governor. What better campaign commercial than “I fought evil banks who stole from California in the midst of crisis to get teachers their money”.
Even if the suit is legitimate, what do you think he cares about more: The publicity or the money for the pensions.

ParticipantYou know what I find outlandish about this story? That the pension funds of Calstrs and Calpers did over 35 billion dollars worth of currency trades!
No wonder our financial world is a mess. As long as huge pension funds are going to speculate on stuff like currency trades, the casino is gonna be open 24/7 and the people whose pensions these organizations are supposed to be safeguarding are gonna get screwed.
But maybe it’s just me. Maybe I’m just old fashioned and too financially conservative. But would you take your pension and go play in the forex markets? (I’m sure a couple of you piggs would, but I suspect most wouldn’t) If not, why should Calpers and Calstrs?
