Politics as Usual
Your out-of-work, uneducated brother-in-law comes to you for $500,000 to buy a house. He doesn’t have a steady track record, but he promises to pay you back and you’ve got a lot of money in the bank. Do you really think you’re going to get your money back in full? This was a bad decision on your part, and chances are, you’re going to have to bite the bullet.
Now, if writing a blank check to your brother-in-law is stupid, what do you call writing a blank $700 Billion check to George W. Bush? Politics as usual?
