[RSCT] primer on Wall Street Meltdown

[Doug Selwyn]

Bob,

Since one of the goals of the most ardent neocons is to shrink government
such that it can fit into a bathtub and then be drowned (that's
approximately what Grover Norquist said), you might be able to suggest two
angles about this move that your kids would understand.  First, it's a
parting gift for his true buddies, who have supported him (and he them)
throughout their eight year slumber party at the White House.  He's
leaving and wanted to give them a gift basket.  Secondly, since he doesn't
think government should do anything to help anyone (except his friends),
he is making sure the government has as little money as possible for
whoever comes in next.  Social programs?  Sorry, no money.  Fix schools? 
Sorry nothing left.  Insurance for children?  You must be joking?  etc.....
