Mark Cuban: It shouldn’t, because all we had to do was be transparent.
Soros: I mean, one can’t predict these things. And, in fact, it’s being done. They already do it.
Cuban: You probably remember when you got your first bank account, wrote your first check, and were excited about it.

Soros: I may be wrong. I’ve been wrong before, but I just don’t see where the growth in the US economy can come from.
Cuban: Always had that knack. Everything that we’re talking about right now — let’s just pretend it has real value instead of just being another article.
