Good Money After Bad, Redux

The news reported that the automaker CEOs will return to testify again this week

The President-elect will “pay close attention” to what the CEOs say. Barney Rubble plans to beat them up again no matter what the Congressman said on 60 Minutes. The Toyota Republicans say we ought not let Congress mess with a free market economy.

There is a timeworn and well known joke:

An older and particularly odious man approached a beautiful woman. “Would you sleep with me for 700 billion dollars?” he asked.

“Oh, I have to think about that. Yes!” she said.

“Would you sleep with me for one dollar?” he asked.

“Never! What do you think I am?”

“Madam, we have already established that. Now we are simply negotiating the price.”

We ought not let Congress mess with a free market economy??? Sorry, folks, that horse has long since left the barn.
