It's a massive deal to their egos, like I said. They will live out the rest of their lives rich, comfortable and fat. They will never know individual hardship, or suffering... they will not struggle to get by due to any dent in the economy.

I am of the opinion that the knock-on effects of this decision will make life harder for normal people. Doubly so for young families, and double it again for families like mine. Where you see hope and idealism, I see a life that looks harder and harder by the day on an individual level, and for what? To "save the world"? To "fix the west"? For who? Others? Why? They don't deserve it.
