[Gathnet] Luther's commentary on the bail-out

The Seventh Commandment


...This is, in short, the course of the world: whoever can steal and rob 
openly goes free and secure, unmolested by any one, and even demands that 
he be honored. Meanwhile the little sneak-thieves, who have once 
trespassed, must bear the shame and punishment to render the former godly 
and honorable. But let them know that in the sight of God they are the 
greatest thieves, and that He will punish them as they are worthy and 
deserve.

making Hummers during an oil crisis...
