Imagine if Banks and Corporations had to operate in a "Free Market"...

...without Government subsidies, tax cuts or bailouts.

Would they survive?

For how long?

Or would the whole phony/crony system collapse in on itself inside a year?

Shall we find out?

Aren't you even a little bit curious?

been replaced ... lessons well learned. Instead, we prop this shit up to create an artificial environment until the next charade. And meanwhile millions of NOT "too big to fail" go under, no help, left to drown.

Some say this would have created an international financial disaster ... maybe that would not have been bad ... it well might have gotten us to a more fair and sane financial system. ... instead we continue with smoke and mirrors, and a lot of bullshit. While those that pulled it off continue along ... many far richer than before. In the big picture, most people are fucked in the long run.
