Why should any of us spend money to reward indolence and incompetence?
Why would you want to spend much more, by several factors of ten, money rewarding the “Indolence and Incompetence” of Wall Street and the Banks? They could have put up much more resistance to federal demands and defended their positions and prevented a lot of this. Banks and Wall Street do not produce a tangible product, the auto industries do. The economies that have been doing well continue to have value added manufacturing.
