The hundreds of billions in public funding to indemnify a huddle of private owners represent a sacrifice to our own god that failed -- an idol we cannot surrender the habit of adoring. And the plucking of state subsidy out of taxpayer pockets to ensure that nothing is state-owned: a form of savage prayer or burnt offering.' http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-bromwich/our-god-that-failed_b_164112.html
