[Bailout Raises Libertarians’ Market Value: Cato Institute’s Scholars Pained and Pumped By Government Action](http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/09/24/AR2008092403209.html)

> \[F\]aced with a proposed $700 billion government bailout of Wall Street, this town’s most gung-ho libertarians and free-marketeers are reaching for their coffee and their keyboards. They are invigorated. The prospect of doom and ruination for everything they hold dear only makes them stronger.
