You do realize that the US treasury stands to *profit* from this
bailout, don't you?

Interesting, the bureaucrats at the Treasury are better at business than
the capitalists on Wall Street. Kind of makes a mockery of the years of
Republican calls for privatizing Social Security, prisons, toll roads,
etc., etc.,

I wonder if Americans will learn a lesson from this debacle, that
"capitalism" cannot work in the absence of strong regulation and a
government willing to force capitalists to obey the rules. All the "free
market" does is provide short-term profit to the greedy.
