Aye, That's the Question

Jason Linkins writes:

we ask ourselves difficult questions like, "What impact will removing trillions of dollars from the economy have on ordinary people?"

Do we? Because I ask where did the government get that trillions of dollars in the first place? And if it is being "removed," where is it going?

So the real question seems to be: is Mr. Linkins a sophist or simply an idiot?
