It seems like politicians are getting better and better at squeezing and extracting more money out of average people throughout the world.
A week ago, at Thursday’s night Democratic presidential debate in Orangeburg, S.C.,
former Sen. Mike Gravel of Alaska reportedly said:
“Every one of those people except Kucinich is taking hedge fund money,” he claimed. “Hedge fund money is the manipulation of the economy overseas and nobody knows anything about it…. If the world economy tanks, it’s going to be because of the hedge funds.”

Can someone give more specifics about what Gravel was discussing?
