[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure many around here would do well in the world that would exist in the absence of bailouts. [/quote] “Around here?” WT ever loving F are you talking abt? Babe, you won’t survive a banking crisis either. IDGAF if you are a farmer, a marksman, a mountain climber…whatever libertarian BS you believe. Every single person in this country would be F’ed if our entire banking system went down. Give me a break …. You’re not a big strong man[/quote] I lived through 08-09 front and center. There was no credit - the system froze. But we chose to bail out the banks not consumers or small business owners. And that has had disastrous results. Income equality, political divisiveness, a coup. So having experienced that why should we continue to bail out the financial services industry ? I watched the US pay Goldman Sachs 100 cents on the dollar - par - for their credit default swaps with AIG. Why did Geithner tell us we had to foam the runway for 10 Million foreclosures ? So tell me again why we have to bail them out ? And when we do and I sit in front of them they tell me they can’t help me because that would be moral hazard like they did in 08 and 09 ? All the while my AIG neighbors were getting bonuses and putting in pools ? Sure as hell felt like Armageddon for us regular folk…so really not interested in the nonsense that we can’t afford to not bail them out. Let them eat cake. [/quote]
