A Brilliant Comment on the Debt Monster and the hyperbole of the left:
At the root of the attitude that has got us into this mess is a perverted conception of morality, in which spending without limit, advocating short-term gain at the expense of long-term solvency, and imposing mountainous debt on our children and grandchildren is Good, but living within our means and, you know, not precipitating the decline of our civilization is Bad. It is a morality in which intentions are the only thing that matter, and reality must bend to meet our indulgences. Never mind that we can’t afford it, do you want it? You don’t? You’re a monster.

>>>If there are theatrics afoot in the District of Columbia, they are straight out of Oz<<<
So they told Dorothy (The unwitting American everyman) who wore the ruby slippers (silver slippers in the original) to follow the yellow brick road (The gold standard). She then danced along (the Silverite 16:1 ratio), where she finally arrived at the emerald city (Greenback - fiat money), where she heard the wizard say, "Pay no attention to that man behing the curtain!"
