Quote of the Day
“But we have to, even if you’re supportive, question when millions of investors decided: ‘Wow, this thing is really going to screw up the economy,’ because these aren’t partisans. … They’re doing it to try to preserve their wealth and, for some, it’s their job,” Paul said. “These aren’t dumb people. These are millions of people who all came to the same conclusion. I think we do need to be worried about it.”
