I saw this article and did a double take. An earthquake can help an economy because it spurs rebuilding activity? By that logic, a good way for all countries to grow would be to destroy all of our buildings and houses and then rebuild them. Idiots. The fact that Larry Summers would let such ridiculous shit come out of his mouth is astonishing.

"A bureaucrat is the most despicable of men, though he is needed as vultures are needed, but one hardly admires vultures whom bureaucrats so strangely resemble. I have yet to meet a bureaucrat who was not petty, dull, almost witless, crafty or stupid, an oppressor or a thief, a holder of little authority in which he delights, as a boy delights in possessing a vicious dog. Who can trust such creatures?"
--Cicero
