What are you inquiring of that? Its considerable. Definitely probable this has been an issue threatened. I was at Jacksonhole Wy last year campaining against their agenda to raise rates.

ZIRP is a direct transfer of wealth from the Middle Class (workers, savers, pensioners) to the Elites (banks and billionaires who can speculate with free money).

So I take it you're more for Sanders then trump right? Besides the concept of middle class rape tells me that there's more to money then we think. So what's the agenda behind money to where we have to rape the middle class to keep elites wealthy to infinite wealth?
