Now, our fiscal policy "saves the world from financial meltdown", so the directors of it are afraid to do what is right, all while skimming their own from the top. And the bottom. And in all places in between. For themselves, and, (choke), certain others.

  But then there weren't disposable diapers then either (a metaphor).
