Where do the trillions of dollars come from?[/quote]

We all know where the trillions of dollars came from. The question is where did they go. And a lot of them were spent where they wouldn’t have to have been had there been effective regulation. I don’t understand your response to swave. Your theory that the SEC was terribly and horribly ineffective is, in my opinion, correct. So you want to downsize it? How is that going to help?
