"You're betting against the U.S. economy, which means that if we bet right, people will lose their homes, their jobs and their retirement savings, and their pensions. I just hate banking that reduces people to ratios and numbers, and unemployment. For every 1 percent increase in the rate, 40,000 people will die."

"What I am criticizing is not the immorality or viciousness of deception, but the deceit and short-sightedness of 15,000 years. It will never work, sooner or later it will come out and go to jail.
