the more people understand what they are doing, and what is possible when there is a will to do it, the better, imo.

I love what they are doing. It's also great that they themselves underestimated how successful they would be.

And I agree, the more donations they receive the better. I haven't seen them ask very often.

Imagine what Congress could do if they put a few million into running some kind of program to help bail out the people?

They had no problem figuring out how to bail out their Wall St Buddies, with trillions.
