GREAT FIND! I think this is my favorite part.
I don't think anything, but I know that it's criminal and abysmal and phenomenally counterproductive. The very concept of a bailout, as a rule, is to encourage irresponsible behavior because someone might be there to bail you out. I'm no economist, I mean I write about this in my book and I talk about it whenever I can, I'm a pretty simple guy. I'm cognizant of my income, and I'm cognizant of my expenses, and when I was selling night crawlers for a living I didn't spend outside of my means, I didn't live outside my means. When I was selling a couple thousand albums a year I didn't live beyond my means. I've never, and never will, live beyond my means. I only purchase a home and a vehicle with credit. I can't imagine using a credit card to the degree that I can't pay it off the minute it became due. I can't even conceive of that mindset.
Yet Uncle Sam is like a stoned, dirty, stinkin' hippie with a credit card. It's gluttonous, it's slovenly, it's indulgent. For anybody to bail anybody out is wrong. It's counterproductive and disgusting. When Fedzilla is going to bail people out with my fuckin' money, you might think he would have consulted with me first. It's just bizarre. It's beyond Planet of the Apes.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine. What kind of brick and mud business model is that. Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve. Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty. Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it. That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."
