Bail Out

For some context around the link I'm blogging here, all I can say about the US government's move to "bail out" banks and other financial institutions to the tune of several hundreds of billions of dollars (all the while the rhetoric claiming it's to protect the little guy, or in the parlance of Idiot Pallin, Joe Sixpack) is that if you've got several hundreds of billions to spend put it in a big bag and if the greed brings down the money lenders and their casino, er, stock exchanges, use all that cash to feed your people until the rich get back on their feet.

$700 billion. For banks. Almost enough to make a fellow a libertarian. Or really, quite enough to make US libertarians socialists...
