The first paragraph of DaBo's eight hundred words from yesterday.

Our moral and economic system is based on individual responsibility. It’s based on the idea that people have to live with the consequences of their decisions. This makes them more careful deciders. This means that society tends toward justice — people get what they deserve as much as possible [sic]

(He must be suffering from a period shortage.) We read further, just in case the opening paragraph was a typically lame attempt at humor. Nope, that's his srory, & he's stickng to it. Although the title of his op-ed indicates the direction he's going. 

Money for Idiots

It's either a plea for more money for him for his spawn's college fund or whatever, or a plea to continue not to honor the bullshit of the first paragraph, & to give more moolah to those who need it the least & use it the worst.

The government enabled people to buy homes they couldn’t afford.

Sure it did. (And if it had, which gov't. would it have been, again?)

The nation’s economy is not just the sum of its individuals. It is an interwoven context that we all share. To stabilize that communal landscape, sometimes you have to shower money upon those who have been foolish or self-indulgent.

Speaking of foolish, can this inane ninny make up his mind, express himself effectively, or be consistent? Isn't there the slightest possibility that those responsible (Brooks must remember that concept. He's never once applied it to a Republican, of course.) should be punished, not given more fucking money? Shouldn't the pigs be slaughtered, according to paragraph one? That approach has our vote. Bacon for all!!
