The government is so fucked up. It's like Keynsian economics for the rich. Their thinking appears to go "We need more money in the economy so we will get it there by tax cuts and we will pay for the tax cuts buy borrowing." Why not just plug the borrowed money directly into the economy, you idiots? Pay the poor to dig holes*. But noooo, instead we gonna pay the rich to dig holes (or, more accurately, do fuck all).

*Not a serious suggestion by JMK, obvs.
