As usual, our friend Atrios cuts to the chase...

From among the many excellent offerings at today's Eschaton, this pithy gem seems especially worth sharing with y'all:

According to Our Galtian Overlords, austerity is necessary. Except, of course, when it comes to massive failing companies known as banks. Just keep lighting billions of taxpayer money on fire, paying massive salaries to the people who are destroying the world. And nobody mention moral hazard, because that's what happens when you give someone an extra $10/week in food stamps. There are lots of reasons the banks are having problems, but one reason is that people have no jobs and no money. And the Galtian Overlords are determined to keep people broke and unemployed, while extracting everything possible from the economy to give to the banks. There's stupid, but also a whole lot of evil. Bad people run the world.
