I always wonder what the tipping point is for failed government policies as the world slips deeper into dystopia and the old beat goes on. If people are starving and freezing in the street you don't invest in commodities, do you? You try to feed them and get them some warmth, so they don't die. Fiscal prudence should never enter the equation for these types of issues. The best we have here is kill someone before they kill you?

Conservatives think letting them die is the "fiscally responsible" option. Even if there are mountains of evidence suggesting otherwise the concept sounds simple and "common sense" enough for their base.
