Everything really is very simple in the end. And the little stories

we were told when young ....... which most people forget ....... are so very instructive.

I recall the story of the little Dutch boy who saw a tiny hole in the dike that was leaking water and he plugged his little finger in the hole to stop the leak until help arrived.

The little boy is a leader. He had vision. He saw the problem early and took action. Instantly.

This may seem trivial or silly. But everything operates like this. The complexity is in our collective head.

We now have leaders who wait for big holes to form in the dike, hold press conferences, wave their egos about like national flags and then throw everyone's livelihood into sandbags to seal the holes.

Until the next leak.

I shall risk a guess, that the 2 trillion dollar bailout of everything belonging to everyone located everywhere, largess of Uncle Sam at cost to everyone, coincidentally everywhere, shall end up per mission-creep, cost north of 6 trillion and if lucky south of 8 trillion.

This is what typically happen during war, position the check book for free-flow.

Cheaper for the people if the state simply buy the beaten down shares for later sale at pyrrhic profit, at least having the treasury cash flow go round-and-round.
