If you're a huge corp with tons of people on your payroll, you get put on life support. Your failure is rewarded. Corporate welfare and bailouts = worst form of entitlement mentality.

What happens to all that money printed up to pay for the bailouts? It bubbles up until it blows up when Italy's financial woes blow up. Dow Jones @ 5000 is not as loony as it may seem.

There IS a limit to the BAILOUT mentality. By trying to AVOID PAID, the government just made the BLOW UP of the BUBBLE all that more lethal.
