Arguably it's far easier for an individual to end up in straits dire enough to warrant help "necessary if the need is great enough" than entire nations

Of course after Teller and his cronies, the line's blurrier

But still! The pubbies love pretending the US is one below-average household and dictate their economic policies accordingly when it is insanity of the highest order. Because individual needs and expenses are not really comparable to national ones. In this sense.

But I'm glad you managed another "the right is right" soundbyte!
