They'll make it all back and then some. This is all part of the plan.

  1. Tank the economy.
  2. Watch investment prices fall.
  3. Watch interest rates fall (to "stimulate the economy")
  4. Borrow money with cheap interest rates.
  5. Buy cheap investments with borrowed money.
  6. Watch economy recover.
  7. Profit.
  8. Repeat.
