Let the taxpayers prop up failing companies. Corpo welfare is the good kind of welfare even though most of the money gets sucked up by the Executives and share buy backs.
At least China is right about not bailing out their companies when their own property bubble collapsed.
The bar can't be "not as corrupt as America". That's not a bar, that's the ground. They can and should do better.
Oh I'm not trying to defend or exalt China. I'm saying that we should be like China when it comes to dealing with billionaires. Or even better, be like Vietnam, when the court ordered a billionaire who defrauded thousands to pay in time or be executed.
Agreed.
The amount of bailing out should be inversely proportionate to the amount of people fired during record profits.
