This "To Big To Fail" brand of ... 'capitalism??' ... is a good little earner.
It was the biggest robbery in history and it was done with a briefcase and not a gun.

I've seen lots of funny men;
Some will rob you with a six-gun,
And some with a fountain pen." WG

I'm the meanest man that ever had a brain,
All I scatter is aches and pains.
I'm carbolic acid, and a poison face,
And I stand flat-footed in favor of crime and disgrace.
If I ever done a good deed, I'm sorry of it.
I'm mean in the East, mean in the West,
Mean to the people that I like the best.
I go around a-causin' lot of accidents,
And I push folks down, and I cause train wrecks.
I'm a big disaster, just goin' somewhere's to happen.
I'm an organized famine, studyin' now I can be a little bit meaner.
I'm still a whole lot too good to suit myself, just mean
I ride around on the subway trains,
Laughin' at the tight shoes dealin' you pain.
And I laugh when the car shakes from side to side,
I laugh my loudest when other people cry.
Can't help it, I was born good, I guess,
Just like you or anybody else,
But then I, just turned off mean..
I h**e everybody don't think like me,
And I'd rather see you dead than I'd ever see you free.
Rather see you starved to death
Than see you at work,
And I'm readin' all the books I can
To learn how to hurt,
Daily Misery, spread diseases,
Keep you without no v**e,
Keep you without no union.
Well, I hurt when I see you gettin' 'long so well,
I'd ten times rather see you in the fires of hell.
I can't stand to fixed, see you there all fixed up in that house so nice,
I'd rather keep you in that rotten hole, with the bugs and the lice,
And the roaches, and the termites,
And the sand fleas, and the tater bugs,
And the grub worms, and the stingarees,
And the tarantulas, and the spiders, childs of the earth,
The ticks and the blow-flies,
These is all of my little angels
That go 'round helpin' me do the best parts of my meanness.
And mosquiters,
Well, I used to be a pretty fair organized feller,
Till I turned a scab and then I turned off yeller,
Fought ev'ry union with teeth and toenail,
And I sprouted a six-inch stinger right in the middle of the tail,
And I growed horns,
And then I cut 'em off, I wanted to fool you.
I h**ed union every where,
Cause God likes unions
And I h**e God!
Well, if I can get the fat to hatin' the lean
That'd tickle me more than anything I've seen,
Then get the colors to fightin' one another,
And friend against friend, and brother, and sister against brother,
That'll be just it.
Everybody's brains a-boilin' in turpentine,
And their teeth fallin' out all up and down the streets,
That'll just suit me fine.
Cause I h**e everything that's union,
And I h**e everything that's organized,
And I h**e everything that's planned,
And I love to h**e and I h**e to love!
I'm mean, I'm just mean

This "To Big To Fail" excuse is also a good cover to let these white collar criminals off the hook and never hold them accountable. I think it would have been much easier to open new banks than was claimed. A few days of disruption would not have ruined the system, and the stabilization of the financial system would have happened a lot faster than feared. We were blackmailed and robbed.

Not at all what I said, but at least Trump's additional debt is producing jobs and futures, hope and self worth, Obama's only produced food stamps, governmental dependence and misery, I can still hear our former president saying "Those jobs are gone and are coming back"....
Comparatively I like what Trump is trying to do much more so than what Obama did, if Trump can accomplish his growth targets and somehow reign in government waste we very well may see the budgets come much closer to balance than we have seen since Clinton and Gingrich. The CBO in its debt projections did not estimate for the level of growth that we are currently seeing, another thing that you so willingly seem to forget is that the FED kept interest rates and near zero for the entirety of Obama's tenure, since Trumps assuming office the FED has raised interest rates to a point that has added several hundred billions of dollars in unproductive expenses to our national budget. Something that libs were recalcitrant to discuss during Obama's tenure.

Banking is a funny thing. To a large extent the whole monetary system runs on faith. Faith is much easier lost than rebuilt. Sure it would have felt good to see some banks fail, and some had it coming, but it would have quit feeling good long before we got out of the crises it would have caused.
Yet you maintain faith in your beloved state that created the mess.
Fascinating.
