I am in TOTAL agreement with you OP.
The reason why this is a bullshit course of action is this:
What is happening is how capitalism WORKS. When these huge collapses occur it's how the natural process of capitalsm levels the playing field and allows new players to enter the market, people with better ideas, and it teaches a LOT of people a lesson about how NOT to take care of their finances, mainly (and this is aimed right at a lot of you, so listen up) if you have more than 5,000 in unsecured credit card debt, or you are more than 1 month behind on your mortgage payment, you are the problem.
The banks, I have no sympathy for them, their 29% interest rates on credit while not giving more than 4% on a savings account, then they wonder why people can't pay them back, then they continue to fucking offer people credit card offers even when their credit is shitty.
The government paying this shit off does nothing but prolongs the inevitable. Big companies only care about 'next quarter's' profits, and are not planning for the future. They will fire half the work force to show what basically amounts to a fake profit (all that new 'revenue' from no longer having to pay employees) for the quarter, to make the greedy shareholders happy, they don't care about the company itself, they care about their own greedy portfolios, and their golden parachute clauses that give them 3 million when they get fired, only to move on to another company and screw them over.
If this buyout goes through, instead of a shake up, get ready for the wrecking ball in the next couple of years. Massive taxes to repay this debt, and the same thing happening again to all the banks, not good.
This is basically turning us into socialists.
