Reply #3: What great writing. I love the sentence that goes:

[truedelphi]

"We need verification that this deal is not, as the economist Joseph Stiglitz has warned, a Rube Goldberg contraption contrived to facilitate “huge transfers of wealth to the financial markets” from taxpayers."

Of course, it would be hard to imagine that these deals are not "huge transfers of wealth to the financial markets from taxpayers."


I mean, the Easter Bunny is a comforting idea when you are a kid, but not so believable when you are older.
