Biggest Lesson From the Bank and Auto Industry Bailouts

[Truth2Tell]

My number one bailout takeaway:

Any enterprise so large that its potential failure would wreck havoc on our economy, and hence require a taxpayer bailout, can and should be heavily regulated by the State.

1. too big to fail is too big to be allowed

4. Or at least to be allowed to act independently of the common good.

Or just not allowed. I might support that. :shrug:

2. Too big to fail= Too Big n/t

5. Really, why bother to run a successful business?

Why not just loot the company's bank account, run it into the ground and then ask for a handout? In other words, run you business like a Republican.

6. Big Government good.

The more people employed at tax payer whim fine. They get a pension, benefits..

7. Or...

limit the size and behavior of business... and government provide healthcare and retirement separate from employer.
