Many of the people on the financial networks love to talk about horrible socialism and how welfare handouts destroy our economy. How government should have no involvement in business. But when a bank, investment firm, or insurance company is on the brink of failure, they are crying on TV for the government to bail them out. Just about every person on these networks tore the government apart for not saving Lehman Brothers.
If you need names, try Bill O'Reilly, Rick Santelli, Larry Kudlow, Charles Payne, Jim Cramer, and Dylan Ratigan. Those are just a few names I've seen on TV who were supporters of keeping government out of business until they started losing money. Now these networks do have a few guys who stood by their convictions throughout the mess, but they seemed to get fewer and farther between.
