Conan...the Economic Exemplar!
"What is best, Conan?"
"To gain fat loot, spend it wildly, and to hear the lamentation of your creditors!"
or...
"Friedman, I have never prayed to you before –
I have no tongue for it.
No one, not even you, will remember if we were good men or bad,
Why we fought or why we died.
No, all that matters is that I had much money.
That's what's important.
Spending pleases you, Friedman, so grant me one request –
Grant me discounts!
And if you do not listen, then the Hell with You! "
