Sure! It's akin to eating our children, per Swift!

But I wonder if Neil's original intent (not having read his piece) was to cast the bailout as the moral equivalent of eating babies.

thank you! thank you!

In this case, rather then eating the babies, we're saddling them with the financial burden of three economically degenerate corporations.

I wonder which is actually worse.

well, I have to say that eating babies is worse than saddling them w/ debt, but both reflect moral depravity.
