PJB is correct about 80% of the time, more than that sometimes, but othertimes he goes off the deep end a bit to far.
It is not simultaneously impossible for the very people who caused the mess to then be correct about how big a mess it is, if anything, their past incompetence should lead us to believe that they are low balling the giveaway amounts.
That is not directed at you Revolting Cat!,
I think that PJB is right on target here, and quite nutty when it comes to other things (like the history of WWII.) But unlike many others, he is in a perfect position to point out what’s happening now. (Ann Coulter is another. ‘Affirmative Action mortgages’ she said the other day. McCain could guarantee his election if he dared to use this phrase.)
