    Yeah, poverty’s expensive for everybody.

    Much as I’m loathed to ever agree with an economist (conservative or otherwise), the general thrust there’s sound.

    Let the currency (and energy) flow. For the good of all, the prosperity of all. Even the rich are better off.

      The rich are better off is a weird saying. Who is better off a billionaire with $1 billion or a billionaire with 10 billion? They are the same, nobody can spend a billion in their lifetime. These people build $500 million mega yatchs because they have nothing better to do with their money.
