It’s not really…it’s just the point where this bounce will equal the bounce following the crash of ’29. No reason in particular that this bounce should be the same as the one 80 years ...

• Bailouts: The Anti-Capitalist Virus

  
  MANSIZEDTARGET.COM — Authority: 118
  I wrote this in March and it’s more true than ever: Bailouts are bad for many reasons. But the two worst are that they cost a ton of money, and, second, they get government in bed with business.
