These are the same cretins that would slap AAA ratings, blindfolded, on mortgaged-backed junk bonds - and well into 2007.

They were trying to delay the impending collapse until after the 2008 election (but, of course, failed).

It's the inverse now: they're trying to provoke a stock market crisis just in time for the '24 campaign.
