[Bubba Ho-Tep]

If you can’t pay, you should face the consequences. Credit rating downgrade is simply not enough, because the taxpayers end up footing their bills. Time to have more severe punishment.

Right, because taxpayers don't foot any of the bill for people in jail.

“Right, because taxpayers don’t foot any of the bill for people in jail.”

Good point. That is why prisons should be privatized entirely and run as any business would. The prisoners need to be doing their labor and pay back debt to society and their victims. No more tax payer dollars feeding these criminals while they enjoy their hotel stay.
