These companies were "Too big to fail", the media rode this, now the sad thing is most Americans were okay with this. The way I see this is that by the government "bailing out" these companies it's not in anyway similar to the "bailing out" of an individual.
The governement loaned these comapnies money when they gave the "bail out" unlike with the citizenry which was given a sum of cash, whatever it was.
The difference is that if the companies can not pay back the government then those companies become (well they are but more so than before) owned by the government. This means that the past failings fall on the people and that the Investors make money or recoup losses then ditch the ship.
The result will be that they walk scott free and tax payers get the brunt of it.
Well I'm sure there are some legal issues to bind them anyway. Just interesting that a "capitalistic" country can only maintain it's capitalism when things are going in the way of the government.
Human beings should not meddle with cause and effect or they risk falling into it's cogs.
I'm Unamerica and you can too.
