Anyone hear of the "Enron Loophole"?

Countdown did a piece on it tonight, and if you didn't know what it was, you probably will want to kick something after you hear about it.

It's basically the reason our gas has doubled in price in the last 5 years or so.



There is a bit where Clinton didn't do jack about it, but it's kind of scary that so many of McCain's people have their fingers in this obvious scam.

That video had George Soros in it so I'm going to disregard it entirely.

So if he wasn't in it for that 10 seconds, you'd take it seriously? Thats..kinda...odd.

I'm just trying to get that out of the way before someone says it seriously.

OOOOOH...sorry. I said the bit about Clinton (although it pisses me off he did nothing about it) for partly the same reason.

Re: Anyone hear of the "Enron Loophole"?

The story...McCain's advisors caused the present high gas prices.

http://rawstory.com/news/2008/McCain...fend_0619.html

The background...Page 2 of this article gives the history of Enron's manipulation of derivative trading.
