One person's trash is another person's…treasure?
If you were interested in bidding on ponzi scheme-schmendrick Bernie Madoff’s intimate apparel…well, I have bad news for you.
This past weekend, a trove of Mr. Madoff’s personal items, ranging from a 10.5 carat diamond ring to his underwear, were auctioned off at top dollar.
Caveat emptor!
The Madoff scheme (or any Ponzi scheme) would never have worked if people didn’t give other people their money to invest.
People would never give other people their money to invest if they understood finance better.
People would understand finance better if it was taught as a mandatory subject in schools.
Which the left would never allow.

huh? explain, please?
I didn’t know credit card companies and loan sharks – er, AGENCIES – were part of the Vast Left Wing Conspiracy. Let me consult my friends at the Fed.

I don’t know what credit card companies and the Fed have to do with the Madoff swindle.
But if we had more finance educaton in schools people might be able to handle their credit cards better as well.
