Some of them I think are just ideologues mindlessly serving the cause of Reaganism; I believe others actually get off on crushing people under austerity.

It's like what those Enron jerks back in 2001 were like when they were laughing and slapping high fives at gouging widows. It's not the money they were making so much as the sadistic thrill of making someone's life miserable.

I think G.W. Bush was like that as president. He was addicted to the adrenaline rush his little reptile brain would get as governor sentencing people to death (remember how he mocked the woman on death row?); he craved bigger and bigger fixes after the presidency was given to him.
