Great catch. The Bridgewater Hedge Fund being that hush hush and that far in the woods ain't good after what we've all seen the past 6 months.
For all those playing along at home Wall Street is only able to be "Wall Street" because they're literally given free money to buy U.S. Government Debt(what Deplorable Shit Lords like you and me call money. Money = Debt).
Your first question should be: "Free Money? I thought people can only earn money through the sweat of their own labor?".
And you're right. That SHOULD be the only way people in America come into money outside of lottery's and inheritance. There was a time when even the banks did that albeit with 10x leverage. There was always something solid at the foundation. If a society is built on that fact then:
1) People aren't envious of the rich because the rich are just the people the lower classes have paid to make their lives better.
2) No money is wasted on the military industrial complex because it's real money and if there isn't a war then the money not wasted on weapons will improve living standards of real people instead of having the sons and daughters of those real people get continually blown up in wars nobody has any fucking clue about how we got into let alone why we keep fighting in them year after bloody year.
But if you can set up a system where money is created out of thin air even at the very bottom in the foundation of banks they you got trouble. Ya got trouble in River City.. Without money being tied to human endeavor then fuck, the sky's the limit on all sorts of insane ideas. Why you could put an entire country on the societal equivalent of crack cocaine, or even the real thing if you're psychotic enough. Do you want to give every American their own personal helicopter with its own helicopter pad? Yes? Then you're in luck Pilgrim!
Do you want to kill birds in the California dessert make generating electricity as inefficient as possible? Well step right up my little hay-seed and plug in to your new electricity grid.

Oh wait, I'm 127/128th white, long story. We should bring 'em home and start fighting our domestic enemies for a change but WITHOUT weapons.
We just need to remember who we were and why we used to fight before things got so insane.
You can still be Patriots without lifting a finger in anger.
In fact that's the only way you'll ever get anywhere but I digress.

I've come to conclusion that fiat is evil. So many are complacent.
