Why aren't more Americans mad as hell about this soviet-styled bailout? These companies wanted to play like big boys and the got burned. How is that my fault as a tax payer? How are they ever going to learn and adapt if politburo-fed mommy keeps holding their hand. They wax Adam Smith and free market ideals when the bulls are running, but as soon as the see the bears approaching they welcome government welfare with open arms. Are we really any richer as a nation?
