Never waste a good crisis

From Reuters:

Clinton told young Europeans at the European Parliament that global economic turmoil provided a fresh opening. “Never waste a good crisis … Don’t waste it when it can have a very positive impact on climate change and energy security,” she said.

Awesome. That makes me feel *real* good about the future. Especially since this is not the first time this administration has gleefully revelled in the possibility of using misery as a way to further their goals:

 “Never let a serious crisis go to waste. What I mean by that is it’s an opportunity to do things you couldn’t do before.”

This wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t for the sneaking suspicion that these scumbags are willing, nay, eager to precipitate crises. We already know that they are able to do so; Barney Frank has produced a first-rate proof of that by his work in destroying the economy.
