Chickens coming home to roost

The bastion of liberalism is finally forced by circumstances to come to grips with the consequences of the cost of big government that it holds so dear. So there really are consequences to all these government programs, sweetheart pension plans, et. al, that the Times endorsed and  promoted year after year, what a surprise!  This story must have been difficult to write considering their complicity in the creation of all these problems they failed to identify and report on for all those years.  Maybe  we should bring back scarlet letters for those who as overseers of public servants in positions of public trust misbehave or are derelict in the performance of their duties? A big purple "DM" emblem (Derelict Media) stitched onto their wearing apparel, much like the Star Of David patch Nazis required Jews to wear in Germany. At least we would then we will know who they are and can publicly shun them.
