Hack Metaphors & Disjointed Cliches
Water is flooding over the Dam or at least through fissures of badly
layed concrete.
The ball game is now in late innings.
The Recessions are ahead.
The Recoveries are frantic.
Solution with least damage:
The federal government bails-out more than a few defaulters as it's
doing now or planning to do soon.
Why ought it do so?
BECAUSE THE RECESSIONS ARE ON THE BRINK OF PREVAILING.
An economic recession or particularly a depression negatively affects
most everything.
We are inter-dynamical, luv it or not.
Purists aka as doctrinal idealists of course are against intervention.
During the savings and loan crisis over a decade ago, the federal
government did indeed do "bailingout," and the pragmatism worked
reasonably well.

You stole that from Dumbya.
Just like those late night talk show hosts.

Sounds like we need to use free speech for more than just "bong hits
for Jesus."

Oh, boy, maybe we have a hint here what Brat means by "free speech".
Would you care to elaborate, Brat?

Exactly.
But that's why it's called the "pragmatic" solution vs. the MORAL (or
JUST) one - as if the right thing to do is somehow different from the
practical thing to do.
And that's precisely how these problems never get solved but actually
keep compounding and with each successive blow-up get worse and worse
and more and more difficult to solve.
The one thing you can be sure of is that prudent and responsible
people such as yourself will be fucked to bail out those who aren't.
